This is a must read! HAHA! Thank God for how far Nursing has come

Here’s a peek at how funny nursing requirements were during Nightingale’s era
By a sort of tacit understanding nursing is generally, we may say almost universally, regarded as a woman’s vocation. It is very
desirable that the nurse should be a young woman, and both in hospital and private practice, women are employed both in
the female and in the male wards. There are, it is true, men who adopt nursing as a calling, but compared with the women
they are few in number. The so-called “male nurse” partakes more of the nature of the valet or attendant than of the nurse
proper. In exceptional cases where a patient is extremely violent and cannot be controlled in any other way, the
services of a man may be found necessary, but practical experience shows that a delirious patient is far more likely to be
quieted by the gentle touch of a female hand than by any mere exhibition of physical strength. Whilst recognising the
occasional utility of a man as a nurse we are inclined to think that the occupation is one which is more safely left in the hands
of women. The following remarks apply almost entirely to the female sick-nurse, and are not applicable to the male
attendant, or to the nurse or nursemaid who is entrusted with the care of healthy children…..
THE NURSE’S QUALIFICATIONS.—-
The qualifications required to be a successful nurse are necessarily of a high order, and this applies not only to the trained nurse, but to her embryo sister who wishes to adopt nursing as a calling.
In the first place she must be not only physically, but constitutionally strong. She must be not only well formed, but must have certain powers of resistance. A girl, for example, who is subject to sick headaches, or who readily “knocks up,” will never make a good nurse. The best type of nursing girl is one who is tall and strong, and who has a certain suppleness of movement. One who is accustomed to play lawn-tennis, who can ride, and skate, and row, makes the best material. If she can dance, especially if she is an enthusiastic dancer, it is a great advantage, for graceful carriage is a thing to be cultivated, and nothing is more distasteful in a sick-room than a suspicion of clumsiness. If in addition to being well formed she is favoured with good looks, it is all in her favour, for doctors readily recognise the influence of an attractive person in the management of refractory patients.
A nurse terminally ill with cancer volunteered to be a subject of research for students from her alma mater.

Here’s a sample of my résumé and cover letter for those who need help making theirs. This is what I learned in nursing school and what I gave when I applied to my internships and to my hospital.
I’m at work now so I had to think of a clever way of posting a pic of it since the computers at my job suck. So sorry for the lopsided craziness of it. Hope this helps!

During the IMMEDIATE PP period… What is the priority nursing action? * The NCLEX question is asking for the priority b4 the fundal massage?? but I always through fundal massage was priority?
In regards to NCLEX questions on this topic… should PP assessment/ NSG action go in this order or are these just assessments that must be completed?
- When prioritizing patient care, always:
Start with the most unstable patient first
Rationale: Unstable patients can go from bad to worse at any time. They must be the priority on any nurses list to see first since their condition can change instantly.
- The ABC’s of prioritization stand for:
Airway, breathing, circulation
Rationale: Whenever you are entering an emergency situation, or just doing a basic assessment your priorities should always be in this order: check for an airway, make sure they are breathing and make sure there is blood circulating (that the heart is pumping properly).
- The patient with the following condition would be treated first:
A patient with COPD and an oxygen saturation of 86%
Rationale: Remember your ABC’s! Airway and breathing are the first two, and are very important to sustaining the life of your patient. Any problems with these, and the rest of the body will shut down, too.
- The following is not considered a class of priorities
Moderate
Rationale: All nurses should place their patients in each category to help them decide who will need their attention the most and first. It will also help in delegating tasks to ancillary staff.
- Non-emergency patient needs are considered to be the following priority:
Intermediate
Rationale: Because the patient voices something as a need, it must be an intermediate priority.
- As a nurse, it is always okay to do the following to be efficient with care:
Combine activities to resolve more than one problem at a time
Rationale: As long as activities can be safely combined to solve more than one problem or accomplish more than one task at a time, it is perfectly acceptable, and suggested, to do to make you more efficient as a nurse.
- The following is not on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs:
Anger management
Rationale: Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology stating that basic human needs such as breathing and food must be met before needs such as love and safety can be felt.
- The clinical problem-solving process should begin with:
Assessment
Rationale: The nursing process includes assessment, data collection, planning, implementation and evaluation. This process is the basis for all nursing care in all settings.
- The following actions should never be delegated to ancillary staff such as a patient care technician
Feeding an MRDD patient with a choking risk
Rationale: If trained properly, ancillary staff can collect urine or stool specimens, check vital signs, perform ADL’s, feeding, and more. These things should not be delegated when the patient is at risk for a serious complication like choking.
- The following should always be done regarding patient care:
Involve the client in their care
Rationale: Clients should always been involved in their care so they can be as independent after their stay as possible. Don’t do tasks for them that they are able to do themselves. Ancillary staff should also be monitored for this
Gurpreet Singh Sarin, Auditions New York ~ American Idol 2013
I can NOT believe american idol did this to Turbanator! Gurpreet sang beautifully. See recap Fox & Idol producers should really be ashamed!
In case you didn’t notice they editted the video to turn his eyes red. Fox & Idol are evil… Turb is not!
I am starting my final semester of nursing school soon and I am kinda freaking out! What if I fail a course? Am I really meant to be a RN? Why am I not already studying for the NCLEX? Where do I want to work? What if I suck at the interview? UGH!!
becoming a RN is my dream! I know I am passionate & dedicated to the nursing practice. I have wanted this for faaar too long & I have taken a very LOoooong road to get here (8 years)… can someone please tell me this anxiety is normal right before and/or during your final semester in nursing school?
As a nursing student, I find your description of yourself as “serous” highly amusing. Do you have a lot of clear drainage? Is it easier to remain serous if you’re chilled?
That is a heck of a combo.
