Does Anyone Know Where I Can Get Non-leather (vegan) Nurses Shoes That Won’t Break The Bank?

Posted on 02/23/2010 by nursing| 2 Comments

Shop around at some of the cheaper stores in your area as they tend to have shoes that do not have leather. Target, Walmart, Payless, K-Mart, that sort of place.
Not that you couldn’t get some good quality shoes with great arch support that have no animal products. My New Balance shoes have no leather at all and give me great support, something that your going to need standing on your feet. I got mine on sale at just under $50.
Just start reading labels….. a real pain, but the only real solution unless you want to go to the online stores that charge way too much for what you get in ‘vegan’ shoes.

How Do You Get Across To Nursing Student That Math Is So Important To Know?

Posted on 02/22/2010 by nursing| 3 Comments

Math errors in nursing result in medication errors, as this is generally the only area in wich you use more than the most basic math (calculating dosages, medications based on body-mass-indexes, etc). Look up some of the legal implications of medication errors… prison sentences dues to negligence. Regardless of anything the doctor prescribed or the pharmacy provided, giving the WRONG med or the WRONG dosage lays solely on the shoulders of the nurse who administered it. You really need to know how to calculate and convert different measurement systems as well as figure out IV flow rates, etc. Also very important for monitoring intake and output….

I’m going into my senior year of highschool in the fall and I am picking my classes. I decided not to take Pre-Calc because I just don’t want that hassle to deal with. I am, however, taking medical terminology and ap bio. Would you think it would affect my chances of getting into a nursing program?

Why Do Non Medical People Have To Wear Scrubs Or Lab Coats While Working Especially In The Hospital Setting?

Posted on 02/20/2010 by nursing| 6 Comments

The reason why I’m asking this here is because I feel it is terrible for them to wear them even if they are in their own scrubs and have to change into hospital ones in able to go into the operating room or pacu or operating hallway. Even husbands or partners have to wear hospital issue scrubs, well whatever they are called, in the or, pacu, hallway when their wives or partners have c-sections. Leave them on till their goes to the postpartum room after that. I’m well aware of the germs or spead of infection, something like that.
Think thats it for now.
