   So.very.blessed replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Ambulatory

   To pfchang, Did you end up taking the Ambulatory Nursing Certification exam in April? How'd it go? With all your experience, I'm sure you did great. I'm still not sure what direction I should take in nursing... Have been very busy in my personal ...

   So.very.blessed replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Ambulatory

   pfchang, Thanks so much for your reply. Good luck on the exam, and please post how it went. If I do take the Intensive CE course, I'll post. Right now I'm starting to volunteer at the free clinic here in Cadillac (along with volunteering through ...

3. Ambulatory Care Nursing

   So.very.blessed replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Ambulatory

   Thanks tnbutterfly and mclennan. I am definitely not a new grad (30 + years), the majority in different ambulatory care settings. Because of moving twice to new communities in the last 1 1/2 years, I am not currently working. Today I received the...

4. To aspirate or not to aspirate?!

   So.very.blessed replied to RNStephNicole's topic in General Nursing

   You probably did get it sub-q. Not to worry, yes it worked fine re: immune response, but it HURT!!! (as you know) Years ago when I gave flu shots with one organization here in Michigan, they also gave us syringes with 5/8" needles... just long eno...

   to all nurses (rn, lpn, cna, and whatever other initials) new grads and old nurses (like me): i would like to share a wonderful book that touched me so deeply. i really wish i had learned the content of this in nursing school, but talking to a "new...

7. How often do you visit allnurses.com?

   So.very.blessed replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   This site has been a lifesaver! We can help each other in so many ways. Right now it is the best communication as many of us are trying to patiently wait for some scheduling to become available for a specific nationwide job. I'm sorry for all the ...

   Jules, Love the kitty... How did you get that on your page?

9. What nursing magazine should I subscribe to?

   So.very.blessed replied to kreaglin100's topic in General Nursing

   one more thing -- i never liked ajn... (way too dry). (nor did i like rn...) you are going to be way to busy in nursing school to ever read a nursing journal!!! if you need additional information for a paper/project/care plan, go on-line or go to the...

10. What nursing magazine should I subscribe to?

    So.very.blessed replied to kreaglin100's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to Nursing 2009, I also get "Nursing made Incredibly Easy." Lots of good pictures/charts. Very good for someone like me who has been away from the bedside for a while... (and I think new grads...) Don't forget about this website while ...

11. To aspirate or not to aspirate?!

    So.very.blessed replied to RNStephNicole's topic in General Nursing

    I'm right there with you! I was shocked when I first heard this, but I'm more concerned about the overwhelming responses I have read about "change".... WE ARE EDUCATED NURSES! We must always practice based upon evidenced based process/research. W...

12. To aspirate or not to aspirate?!

    So.very.blessed replied to RNStephNicole's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY!! Attention any new nurses who are going to be giving Flu shots.... as cxq174 says, I also saw MANY flu shots administered SubQ, partly because we were given too short of needles (5/8") which is inappropriate for obese patients. But the oth...

13. To aspirate or not to aspirate?!

    So.very.blessed replied to RNStephNicole's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an "old" RN, but attended the local health department immunization conference in 2006 where we were instructed we "didn't have to aspirate anymore." (And wasn't I up to date on the current procedures?! -- felt even older...) I questioned this, b...

14. Advantage for Speaking Spanish?

    So.very.blessed replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona

    Were you looking to become an interpreter? That would take way too much work as you realize. But, having graduated from Univ. of AZ in Tucson (30 years ago...), and working @ Maricopa County Hospital, I sure wish I had had some Spanish. It really ...
