    Thanks! I am talking about having an LPN, then getting a RN-BSN. I am aware of the BSN requirements. I will e-mail the NMC.
  4. US RN interested in moving to UK

    This is so discouraging my goodness! Do you know anything about acceptance with the NMC as far as an LPN, getting an ADN/RN and then a RN-BSN?

    The Msc at Anglia Ruskin is a year long --
  6. Clinical hours short of NMC suggestion?

    Wondering about this as well -- I am currently an LPN, and wish to finish the LPN - ADN/RN through my school. Will the NMC accept that in conjunction with a RN to BSN program? What about an RN to MSN program?

  8. When do you give long & short lasting insulin?

    that's what I thought, but I hear it also being used as a general corrective insulin outside of mealtimes. A bit confusing. It would also be held if the individual does not want to eat correct? (Humalog)

  12. reading a tb skin test

    I am confused about TB readings. Does the induration have to be a visible lump under the skin, or under? I have felt tests with no visible lump on top of the skin, but there has been a small amount of hardness beneath.
  13. Confused....

    So.. does anemia cause low BP? And if so, why?? because of decreased fluid volume? (low HGB)
  14. stroke in LTC

    I have a question about this as well -- with a possible stroke would you see handgrips weak bilaterally or usually one side weaker than the other? Or possibly both? (all the more reason to know pt's baseline.)
  15. Sodium and CHF

    Can someone explain why Sodium is restricted in CHF? Don't CHF patient's generally have lower sodium levels due to fluid retention/dilution? It's confusing! Sodium helps retain fluid, but it also gets diluted with too much?
