Etrips posted:Can anyone recommend a book / program / etc to help study for the TEAS test? Also I have my elective coming up, would it be more beneficial on my transcript to take another science class or maybe a language like Spanish? The TEAS is retard easy. It's probably about the same toughness as a GED.

And the sticky stuff that occasionally bubbles out of the trach that leaves long stinky strings when you try to wipe it away... Uggghhh. You really shouldn't put in a flexi seal though until you know what's gonna be coming out/after the crapping starts. Full all you know there is an impaction in there and a flexiseal is just gonna block it from being expelled post lactulose.

Koivunen posted:all that experience still made the transfer from ICU feel like I was starting at square one. Not to mention not everyone is cut out for the ICU it's better to find that out early. There's no certain set of attributes that make one a great nurse but the field of nursing is very very broad and you do have to have certain attributes to be a great nurse in a specific field. The worlds greatest oncology nurse might be absolute poo poo in the ICU and the worlds greatest ICU nurse might be poo poo in oncology. If you think you want to go ICU go try it early that way you can reevaluate your career plans early if it isn't for you. Bum the Sad fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Nov 12, 2013 |

Etrips posted:Applying, getting prereqs, GPA, background, etc. Been working in a predominantly CV, SICU(Heart Transplants, VADS, along with other high risk surgical cases like Whipple's and Radical Necks w/ free flaps) for about 4 1/2 years right now. I applied to two schools, got turned down for the first one. No clue why, the interview was very personal though, asking more about me and challenges I've faced and what not. Guess they didn't like me. I don't know if I came off as cocky or what, I was going for confident. Got into my second one and was accepted on the spot. The interview was very clinical based and they mostly just grilled me on CV questions given my background(for example they asked me how much I knew about neuro and I said pretty much nothing so they said they would avoid asking me questions about that. Anyway they offered me a position on the spot at the end of the interview, I guess they had their mind made up based on my GRE and grades, and wanted to make sure I wasn't really a bumbling anti-social retard before they gave me the final go ahead.

BadSamaritan posted:A quick question to nurses and nursing students- how much are you taught about the requirements for lab test samples? I know you guys have a lot of clinical information you need to know and that many patients are hard sticks or shouldn't lose any more blood, but the number of nurses I've talked to that ask me to run CBCs or PT/APTTs 'around the clot' or have removed the clot from a tube in hopes that we will run it makes me wonder what the lab test/interferences curriculum is like for nurses. (Hint: all your platelets/Hct/Hgb/clotting factors will be gone and we will probably have to call you for a false critical value and waste everybody's time) Also, please feel free to ask me any lab questions, because I feel like there is very little communication between the floor and the lab.

At least I will appreciate the work nurses do a lot more. Hahaha holy poo poo. What does an inside out penis look like? Most people don't even know those exist. We have a few in our bins and I show them to doctors and new nurses all the time and they cringe.

What type of program were you in? I got my BSN at a largish university that attracted young untied down people from all over the state. I could see how if you were getting your associates at the local CC it might be more older settled down people.

Annath posted:I mean it was super simple, but was there more I should've been told? Have them lay flat or even trendelenburg then have them valsalva/exhaley/bare down. Veins are under very low pressure and when sitting up it's very possible that atmospheric pressure is greater then the pressure in the vessel. So you want to crank up that venous pressure by any way possible.

Jamais Vu Again posted:Today was the first day we passed meds in lab. Is it wrong to think it was pretty easy? They put the fear of god into us during the lecture about how you must concentrate 192847% or else you will make a med error and your patient will die. Don't forget to wear your medication administration vest because you're loving retarded. These actually exist. No I've never seen one but I've read journal articles about them and I think a traveler once told me they were in a place that used them. Apparently you put on some neon vest when you're giving medications so people know not to talk to you, because you're an idiot and you might accidentally inject the medications into the patients anus instead of IV if you hear a noise.
