2. Jobless and Frustrated

   glimpses replied to YVSUOMAL's topic in Career Support

   I also am searching for RN positions in MN, but nothing seems to be open. I worked internationally for 2 years and now am back in MN and not able to find a job here. It seems there are a few positions along the Iowa-Minnesota border, but that's all I...

4. Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

   glimpses replied to djc1981's topic in Male Students

   Either gender is fine okay, as long as they are competent and caring. In general, I have found many male nurses provide as good as (and some even better) nursing care as female nurses do. And certain male nurses have "gentler hands," as one of the po...

5. Msn Vs Dnp

   glimpses replied to prairienp's topic in Doctoral

   I also am interested to know opinions/experiences on MSN vs DNP. I am looking into grad schools right now, and it seems like many schools are transitioning from MSN to DNP programs. Looking towards my future career as an NP, would it make sense for m...

6. Obtaining Masters in Nursing

   glimpses replied to CJsGirlRN's topic in Post Graduate

   I am also looking in to grad programs, either ACNP or CNM at this point. I don't know if I want to limit myself to just one specific area, yet don't think FNP fits for me - anyone know of dual MSN programs with more than one area of specialty?

7. NRP resources?

   glimpses replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   does anyone have information on NRP courses offered internationally?? has anyone done the NRP course online with a clinical instructor check-off portion done later?

   glimpses replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Med-Surg

   my least favorite patient is probably the one with end-stage liver disease...frequent sticky lactulose messes with noncompliant patients or down clogging NG tubes, frequent loose stools, decreased LOC often with patients becoming noncompliant, worrie...

11. Stevens-Johnson syndrome

    glimpses replied to brissygal's topic in General Nursing

    I cared for a patient, a young woman, a few years ago with Stevens-Johnson, a reaction to some medication. Don't remember her primary diagnosis, but she was quite ill. Skin raw and peeling off her entire body, all her hair falling out in clumps. Also...

    glimpses replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've heard several docs highly recommend the ALSO (Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics) course for L&D nurses. Here's the link: http://www.aafp.org/online/en/home/cme/aafpcourses/clinicalcourses/also.html Has anyone ever taken ALSO and what were ...

13. Syringe Incompatibility?

    glimpses replied to eric909's topic in Medications

    We mix Fortwin and Phenergan as one IM dose, but I don't know about Toradol. You can give Toradol IV with very few side effects.

14. How did you get an "A" in anatomy?

    glimpses replied to Diver Dude's topic in Pre-Nursing

    In any class, what really helps is to know your learning style. If you're not sure how you learn best, I know there's free sites online that give a short assessment of your learning style. For me, an anatomy coloring book was very helpful, as I'm a v...
