  1. Harrison

    Hello, I graduated with my Associates in Nursing -RN from Northark in Harrison in May. They have THE BEST nursing program with 100% pass rate on NCLEX. It is a tough program to get into because they set their standards alot higher, but it is worth it...
  2. Giving/Getting Report

    You hit the nail on the head DORIMAR about sometimes they use report as a weapon. I am not sure as to why, my guess is that they either had a hard shift and someone upset them or maybe they are having a bad day. OR, maybe they are just fed up with nu...

  4. new grad wanting nicu

    Alot of hospitals will hire new grads in those areas, because they can mold you to how they want you to be. You haven't created any bad habits yet because you haven't had a chance to.
  5. Has anyone here used Viagra for PPHN?

    Well just think about how therapeutic it is to use Viagra for babies when they have circulatory probs...it is a vasodilator! Arkansas Children's Hospital uses it.
  6. NCLEX Confidence?!?

    Just remember...ABC's, MASLOW's. When it comes to delegation or priority...ask yourself...what needs to be done NOW and can't wait...What can you put off till later? Also ask who is the most stable patient to delegate a task to an LPN... if there is...
  7. New Grad going to ICCU..

    I would have to agree with ICUCHARGE about managing a lesser load of patients and getting to know them. I am a newgrad and was recently hired in CVICU/Neuro ICU and will be getting 4 months of internship. I wanted ICU area because I want to be able t...

  9. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    I started as an MA then went to work in a hospital as a Nurse tech. As an MA I didn't do any butt wiping since I worked in a doctors office, so when I actually started as a Nurse tech...wiping was a little weird but I got used to it. Now that I have ...
  10. Anyone else attending SCCC's Nursing Prog?

    Thanks a bunch, My husband will be very happy to hear that! Study your fluid and e-lytes ahead of time, it will only help you in the long run...Especially, Na+ (sodium), K+( Potassium), and your Ca+ (Calcium). Learning your ABG's is a good idea too!...

  12. PAY FOR NEW GRADUATE RN's FOR ST. LOUIS AREA

    Most of the hospitals are starting at $18.50. However they will pay you for previous medical experience if you were a tech, or LPN, and depending on how many years you did that. So, it might be different for someone who has only been a tech for a yea...
  13. PAY FOR NEW GRADUATE RN's FOR ST. LOUIS AREA

    Antona, Thanks for your replies. I would have to agree about the earned time off. You know you mentioned you don't have to worry about the politics, floating is like that. I used to float for 3 years and LOVED it. I wouldn't mind doing it again. Howe...
  14. Anyone else attending SCCC's Nursing Prog?

    Hello, I was wondering how long you had to wait and what requirements you had to meet as far as classes. My Husband wants to get his RN so we can travel together. I went to SCCC a long time ago and liked the campus, but when I was there...they had 1...
