   I'm curious how each of your facilities runs insulin line. Specifically, do you allow inmates to complete the FSBS with the glucometer, do you clean glucometer between inmates, wear gloves while administering insulin? I've seen a variety of techniq...

   Hello all, For those of you that reside in a state that doesn't allow an "assessment" or nursing diagnosis by an LPN, what have you found to be acceptable documentation for the "assessment" on a SOAP note? Our state does not clearly define "assessme...

5. DNP without nurse preceptor and project without patient care

   military spouse posted a topic in Doctoral

   I find myself in a position where I don't have true access to a patient population and don't have access to a DNP or Phd. I've been trying to look into DNP programs, but it appears that those two issues may be tremendous roadblocks. Does anyone kno...

   Thanks for the response! I'm looking at ASU as well, but am very concerned about the practical experiences and finding a preceptor. My current environment is one where I supervised nurses in a non-clinical setting, but I have the ability to influenc...

13. bottom bunks

    military spouse replied to bymysoul2squeeze's topic in Correctional

    Yep, sz, pregnancy, old age, and I believe there may have been some based on stringent musculoskeletal problems (uncommon to get one of these). Everyone wants a lower bunk, double mattress, or some other special needs order. I would suggest develop...

14. Pay Rate

    military spouse replied to RN4life08's topic in Correctional

    military spouse replied to RN4life08's topic in Correctional
