   I don't know anyone personally who has gone through this program. I completed my BSN through UTA with essentially the same 5 or 10 week format. It was fast paced but easily doable while working full time. The FNP program will be much more intensive b...

    RN in 10! replied to pineau's topic in Oncology

    In our clinic, we don't always follow each drug with a saline flush. But, there are some drugs that you do need to flush the line well before administering the next drug. Vectibix is one drug that comes to mind. Saline flushes and heparin flushes ...
