   Just today saw a 15lb fibroid tumor removed and a thyroid the size of very large sweet potatoe. I missed the fishing lure from the rectum a few weeks ago though.

   I just started in the OR and contaminated a corner of a back table surface. It was just covered with a sterile towel the procedure continued.

3. FCCJ Summer 2010 hopefuls...

   mlblmt replied to SaraFL's topic in Florida

   FYI to last poster about the LPN bridge, it would be better and faster to just wait until Spring 2011 for the RN program. The bridge is the exact same length as the RN program. So if you start the LPN program in Fall 2010, you won't start the RN "b...

   Thanks for writing and posting this. I just shared it with my class that graduated in Aug 09. I just got hired on as a Patient Care Associate at my "Dream Facility". I have to stay in this position for 6 months, but its worth it to me. Best of lu...

   mlblmt replied to Spoiled1's topic in Men

   I am black, just graduated in August, waiting for boards. In 16 months of clinicals I saw only one RN and one LPN. I also live in Florida, North East Florida (which is REALLY south GA). In my graduating class of about 96, I was one of 3. My cousi...

   Hey, I know you asked Whitney about Mrs Bridges, but I'm taking her now in 2nd term for Adult Health 1. All I can say is you will learn a lot, but it WILL be painful. She's tough but fair. If you have her for Techniques, please believe you will ha...

    mlblmt replied to kjl221's topic in Florida

    That was exactly my point about the skills kit. Unless yours was different than mine, there really weren't many skills to practice with it. Injection, foley, dressing change, IV starts, piggyback and NG tube. What from the kit will be used in Adul...

    The skills kit is a bunch of crap that you won't need or use in class until you take the final techniques simulation. Its got syringes, IV catheters, a foley catheter, dressing change kit and some other stuff. Actually, I take that back, you will u...
