1. UTA Academic Partnership with Baylor Hospital System

   imanubee replied to pinkORT's topic in Texas

   Hi pinkort-- I work at a different partner hospital that also has a partnership agreement w/ UTA. I applied in early October, had transcripts sent, etc and my "app status" still shows as "application received and completed but under review". So I ca...

2. NP owned practice business plan project for grad school - Medicare question

   imanubee replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

   If an NP were to open a clinic, would she be able to bill Medicare directly for services rendered if there weren't a physician on staff? Yes you can bill directly without a doc on staff. Would it be sufficient to have a collaborating physician or a ...

3. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

   imanubee replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   The Pearsonvue trick worked for me too. When I tried re-registering, it did not let me get to the payment page, but rather gave me a pop-up message. I still had my doubts up until I actually saw my "pass" results, but it did ease my mind a bit duri...

4. Who needs to be seen first?

   imanubee replied to Superlost1984's topic in General Nursing

   I just graduated too. The only other use of Mg++ (besides hypomag and pre-eclampsia) that I recall is for Vtach--Torsades de Pointe. Being in NCLEX mode, I too would have gone w/ the morphine answer, but thats the "theory" part thats been drilled in...

5. Need Info on Christus Health Hospitals

   imanubee replied to Lucky0220's topic in Texas

   Thanks for your reply! I'm wondering about the culture within the nursing units. Are new grads readily accepted and supported or does the "nurses eat their young" attitude apply? Do you know anything about the residency programs? I've been interes...

6. Cost of RN-BSN at Texas Tech

   imanubee replied to Heloisea3's topic in Texas

   Hi, Since you're looking at RN-BSN, have a look at UT Arlington. Completely online (RN-BSN) and they estimate tuition to be $4950 for the pgm. I'm not sure how they compare to the other two, but worth a look. And if you don't have pre-reqs complete...

7. Need Info on Christus Health Hospitals

   imanubee replied to Lucky0220's topic in Texas

   Hi Lucky, I'm wondering what you might have found out about either of these hospitals? I just applied and was offered a new grad residency. They seem to have great benefits and a great work environment, but I'm looking for some first-hand insight. ...

8. Exit HESI exam quirks. Material on test but not in HESI review book. (No specifics)

   imanubee replied to fathertod's topic in New Nurse

   I recently took the exit Hesi as well. Fortunately, every question on the exam covered a topic that I'd seen before--whether in our texts or in the study guide. There was a question though that I STILL think was incorrectly scored. I answered it a...

9. Anyone know how many HESI Exit exam versions there are??

   imanubee replied to nursingstudentbp's topic in HESI

   I've always heard that there are four. Its funny you say that about V3, b/c I heard that V2 was harder than 3, and that V3 was comparable to V1. But who really knows.....its all subjective in a sense. We had a Hesi Review at school w/ an Evolve per...

10. Free Healthcare Clinic Experiences

    imanubee replied to CareerThree's topic in General Nursing

    It is theoretically possible to offer "free" services, but in reality, something that is very difficult to accomplish. I have worked in agencies that have provided charity care to some patients, but not across the board for everyone. The most immedi...

11. Free Healthcare Clinic Experiences

    imanubee replied to CareerThree's topic in General Nursing

    Hi CareerThree, What you are describing is a "Community Health Center". Healthcare centers such as these offer services at typical costs as well as a "sliding fee scale" for those who qualify based on income. Many times, the fees are waived depending...

12. Lesbian L and D nurse

    imanubee replied to AudreyHurston's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Audrey, I understand your concerns completely. I'm 36 yrs old and have been with my partner for 11 years and counting. People do regard our orientation as "sexual" unfortunately. I knew my entire life that I was gay, but never, ever allowed mys...

13. Where can I learn to start an IV?

    imanubee replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Probably not too much help with actual practice starting one, but if you go to youtube and search for IV, there are several how-to videos. I'm in my last semester of NS and doing a critical care rotation. I'm a little stressed, since in our level ...

14. A question for RN's and RN students.

    imanubee replied to craigm's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot depends on what you ultimately plan to do and your life circumstances. I returned to school at 34 to complete pre-reqs and was accepted into an ADN program shortly after. I will graduate in May 2009 at the ripe old age of 37. Nursing p...
