   They will check to make sure you are using the $ towards the loans. Do NOT apply the money towards any loans that were not included during the application process. That's just asking for trouble!!!

2. NELRP is there a thread?

   the1anonlycarol replied to JudithL_in_NH's topic in General Nursing

   There's no thread for NELRP participants who applied for their third year of funding/contract continuation... but I am just finishing up my two year contract at the end of this month and finally see an award letter and award worksheet w/ payment info...

3. Lining and labing in the waiting room

   the1anonlycarol replied to melimaras's topic in Emergency

   That is a major concern for us as well. If our WR patients see a midlevel provider when they are first triaged and have orders entered (labs, X-ray, etc) and end up leaving then they are marked as ELOPED and the visit is chargeable. If they don't s...

4. Lining and labing in the waiting room

   the1anonlycarol replied to melimaras's topic in Emergency

   Where I work, we sometimes have 5-6 hour waits (terrible I know). Our WR patients are never allowed to have lines and I can't think of a time I've ever medicated one. When they are first triaged, we sometimes have a midlevel provider that listens i...

5. BSN Preceptorships - Does ER level matter?

   the1anonlycarol replied to JustinAllen's topic in Emergency

   My accelerated nursing school program in Mass also had an internship... it was something like 300 hours. I asked to be placed in an ED in my home state (one state over - CT - ; ~ 1.5 hour drive). They agreed and got me into a Level 2 on the shoreli...

6. CEN test questions?

   the1anonlycarol replied to nursecass's topic in Emergency

   I was the same way. I studied for the NCLEX using the CD w/ the practice questions. I like instant gratification. Question. Answer. Not having to look in the back of the book. Or doing a whole test and then reviewing answers afterwards. So I s...

7. Failed the CEN by one question. Literally.

   the1anonlycarol replied to NorthBay's topic in Emergency

   I also failed it by either one or two questions. Was so mad! Secretly blaming it on how hot the room was. There were a ton of questions for me also on triaging mass casualties... they all sounded pretty dead, how do you decide which one is most de...

   Hi Guys, I'm an NELRP Recipient from August 2010. I remember last year I got my tax form for NELRP on time, but I have not yet received it for this year. They legally have to mail them out by January 31st, but as of today I still have not gotten it...

9. Online CEN resources

   the1anonlycarol replied to whichone'spink's topic in Emergency

   seeing as the CEN is only recommended for nurses who have had at least two years in the emergency department.. I'm surprised to see that your instructor is taking a majority of her questions from there. the best thing for studying for the CEN is hav...

10. Calling all night nurses!! Newbie night shifter needs sleep tips, STAT! :-)

    the1anonlycarol replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    I've been working 7p - 7a for a little over a year now. I work in the ED at a level 1 trauma center so coming home exhausted is the norm. I don't have a script for Ambien, but sometimes wish I did! I try and group my shifts together so I can have s...

    just wanted to answer some of your questions... first i got a phone call to do a 3-way call w/ chase to verify the student loan amounts with them. then a few weeks later (july 31st) i got an email... it asks you if you're still interested, has you g...

    the1anonlycarol replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

    my debt to salary ratio is "only" 102%. i sure hope that 140% isn't the cut-off. i was asked for my bank account information and to sign the preliminary contract and haven't heard anything since (that was july 31st). i did an accelerated program f...

    i can't even login. my account has been locked. i don't know if it was from failed logins (i had forgotten that i had changed my password)... or if they locked me out on purpose. i got the email and faxed all my paperwork on july 31st... i had ...
