  1. HELP! Social question-over the line?

    Wow, this is a tough one. I'm a student nurse and have seen a few issues like this come up already. They puzzle me since there are so many sides, plus there is no unanimous standard. They don't touch things like this in school. That said, I am als...
  2. Diff b/w PICC and Central Line

    Interesting. I didn't have a central line until I woke up from my liver transplant - the line was just there. But they found that it was too far in after a CXR so they reinserted it and did another CXR. I think it was finally good that time. Anyways ...
  3. Websites...

    Wow, this post is amazing! Anyone have a "master" list? That'd be amazing! Thanks to everyone who has contributed!
  4. Diff b/w PICC and Central Line

    Bump. My question is, why would you choose a central line over a PICC line with all the risks? Plus, I had a transplant and had a central line myself and after seeing how invasive and annoying it was... I wonder, why didn't they just use a PICC? And ...
  5. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    Not at all! For me, nothing held a candle to physiological chemistry, and once in nursing school, general nursing of adults is a ton of info in a small m amount of time! I guess it all depends what school you go to...
  6. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    They always introduce themselves by first names, and I've never heard a clinical instructor be called differently!
  7. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    Yeah, this came up again in clinicals today. Our new clinical instructor is a MSN CNP and says she will be grandfathered in, but they're doing away with MSNs, going the "physical therapy" way and making everyone else go straight to doctorate for adv...
  8. The Patient Nurse

    Thanks for sharing your story. I'm a senior in nursing school and have had chronic liver disease since age 5 and many chronic pain problems since being in a car accident 2 years ago. It really is a unique perspective, isn't it? I know being a pati...
  9. Snow- at what point do you call out?

    Good questions & answers. How about students and clinicals? I'm getting nervous for this coming semester - clinicals an hour away in Cleveland (lake effect!) and I'm absolutely terrified of driving in unsalted, unplowed snow. If it was coming dow...
  10. Nurses in oncology having stillborns

    How about if I'm not going to try to conceive for a while? My fiance and I want children - not for a few years, but definitely when it's the right time! Will working with chemo/oncology directly impact that, or only if we are actively trying to con...
  11. Nurses in oncology having stillborns

    Hi, I'm a student in a BSN-RN program and am really interested in oncology nursing. I decided to do my summer externship on an oncology inpatient unit until a friend of mine who works on an oncology unit told me that she knows of 3 nurses on her flo...
  12. ... this is my 5th year in a BSN-RN program and it's going so slowly. I have a lot of health problems that are getting in the way of the rest of my schooling so I'm thinking of transferring to a LPN program since I'd probably have most of the course...
  13. Publishing in Nursing

    I've done freelancing for Kaplan. Sometimes you'll just see a random "call for submissions" floating around nursing blogs/this site. Kaplan just told me they're done with the series, but who knows what else might come up in the future. Hopefully s...
  14. I'm in BSN-RN at Kent state - they have a few campuses and different options as well. I love it here! I know we have an LPN-BSN/RN option. :) Good luck!
  15. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    Right now does EVERY APN (NP, CNS, etc.) degree consist of a MSN? Or is that something you get first? And what are the "four" advanced practice roles? Are they the only types of the APN/MSN/? you can get? I would LOVE a "masters/advanced practice"...
