Straight A Nursing. Passed the CCRN examination! Woo-hoo!!! I took the examination for my CCRN on Monday and am happy to report that I passed :-). The experience itself reminded me a lot of taking NCLEX, but more miserable and less pressure.
Ideally diabetes is found before there is diabetic retinopathy, but a good eye doctor can see evidence of several conditions and diseases, like lupus and diabetes, sometimes even before your primary care physician is able to find them.
How long you go between exams is based on how long you can wait before detecting an eye problem that has no symptoms. Your health care provider will recommend earlier and more frequent exams if you have known eye problems or conditions that are known to cause eye problems, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
