Well, I can understand some of the points she was attempting to point out. The problem is the fact that it was written by a Female. Don't get me wrong here ladies, I love ya to death, but you really have no idea how my head works and thinks any mor...
I am guessing due to your title--Cold in Alaska, that you are in a small critical access hospital, small anyway. I would guess you are not JCAHO certified. The hospital I work at is not. In the situation you are in, it will be a problem. Small wil...
I did it, but it almost killed me. While in LPN classes I worked full time. I took ALL of my RN pre-req's at that time as well. 23 credit hrs in first sem. I found a school 2hrs from me that had pre-req's one night a week. I was in class from 7am ...
GOOD NEWS FOR YOU!!I am the one you need to speak to. I was an LPN-C in Nebraska first and went through Excelsior (the school in question). I have been an RN for about 3 years now. Unless you live in or around Omaha, there is no such thing as a ni...

Quality is as good as it gets, well worth the $$. As for the zipper fly, pointless, they don't go all the way up--you still need to pull them down to go;). I paid the extra for the zipper and wish I had not. I like the ER pockets in the pants and t...
I like my way of dealing with that type, I just give them a look like I'm going to rip his freaking head off. But then again I'm a 6'1", 230lb, big hairy man nurse:devil:. They don't need to know I wouldn't hurt a fly. This has worked well for me to...
I assume she is speaking of the grids that Excelsior students use for the CPNE. I am sure some one will chime in and help better than I. I did not use them. It is a way of memorizing the critical elements for each area of care and then writting the...
VERY nice description, but if you REALY want to get to know them, try joining them!! I am the ONLY male nurse at the small hospital I work at. GOOD GOD could I post some stories here!! They made me swear not to though, and threatened all sorts of...
