   TimBukWho? replied to mkdwhnpbc's topic in Online Learning

   I am very interested in the RN-MSN Nursing Educator track at Aspen. I also looked into WGU, but don't like that their grading is pass/fail. So, Aspen is looking like the better choice at this point. My question is.... I am definitely interested in ...

2. Any problems transferring credits from an online school?

   TimBukWho? replied to I_See_You_RN's topic in CRNA

   I took MANY of my pre-req's online through a local community college and have had absolutely no problem with them transferring. I'm actually pretty sure that my transcripts do not differentiate between the courses I took online versus in class. I a...

8. Patient ID Bracelets in LTC?

   TimBukWho? replied to kwvath's topic in Geriatric

   I can remember how it was the first time I worked in LTC and no one had a patient identifier on. It was difficult to know who was who. Now, after having been in LTC for years, I can't imagine using arm bands. I agree that skin issues would arise....

   TimBukWho? replied to evilolive's topic in Geriatric

   We recently had this added to our list as well. Each nurse has about 40 some residents and we must go through every MAR to ensure it is without holes. I think it would be more effective if a QA nurse did this daily. It takes valuable time from th...

    TimBukWho? replied to SillyPinkBunny's topic in Emergency

    I think it's the fact that there are many drug seekers who use the ER and this doc lost the sensitivity factor d/t working in this emotionally demanding environment. I think that many people become emotionally hardened and choose to be judgmental in...

    TimBukWho? replied to evilolive's topic in Geriatric

    Hopefully this is not how the entire place runs. It may be just the person doing the new hire orientations....which sucks for the company, because that's a person that sets the stage for how new hires feel! I would stick with it and see how things ...
