   And if it is ONLY 79% on 4L then your first priority action is to turn up her O2!! :)

2. Help! Decreased Cardic Output but....

   luvs637 replied to zpb72000's topic in General Students

   I saw that it says 79%, but after that it says she was placed on 4L. It should be higher than 79% on 4L or she is in real trouble...

3. Help! Decreased Cardic Output but....

   luvs637 replied to zpb72000's topic in General Students

   Well the question asks for your primary area of concern...So my primary area of concern would be her breathing. I know it says they put her on 4L, but it doesn't say what her pulse ox is after that, so that needs to be reassessed. After that I would ...

4. Advocate System?

   Currently work at a different Advocate site and I also LOVE it. I love the people I work with and I love my tuition reimbursement. I would not leave!

5. How much do cna's make at hospitals or Dr.'s offices in Illinois

   luvs637 replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Illinois

   ...What is a level 2 CNA? Never heard of that before, so I guess I am a level 1 and I have a hospital job.

6. Please help!!

   luvs637 replied to cbrennan1188's topic in Illinois

   I would say your chances of getting in are pretty high due to your masters GPA and extra-curriculars. When did you take A&P though? Alot of schools would like to see it taken recently and with a good grade...maybe retake A&P to give yourself ...

7. Oakton Community College - NLN and admissions

   luvs637 replied to cantbeagoddess's topic in Illinois

   Personally I never did NCLEX questions. I would just study the powerpoints. I worked for a few years as a CNA in a hospital, so a lot of the stuff in 104 came easily to me. I have heard that 104 is a weed-out class, but I actually thought 108 was muc...

8. Oakton Community College - NLN and admissions

   luvs637 replied to cantbeagoddess's topic in Illinois

   The teachers write their own tests, but like I said, nothing in 103 is difficult. They are trying to get you used to being in the program, not challenge you. Everything is common sense for the most part.

   All the clinical sites are done by lottery.

10. Oakton Community College - NLN and admissions

    luvs637 replied to cantbeagoddess's topic in Illinois

    The info in 103 is pretty much common sense. I don't think anyone ever fails 103. 104 is the class to worry about more. Do you have to do the community project for 103? When I took the class each group received 100% on the project so those were basic...

    luvs637 replied to cantbeagoddess's topic in Illinois

    I would focus on the powerpoints and skim the reading.

12. Oakton Community College Fall 2011 program

    luvs637 replied to omonhpy's topic in Illinois

    Lab meets once per week. Clinical meets twice per week. Lecture meets twice per week....can you account for all those sessions? I'm sure they will clarify for you at orientation.

13. Anyone worried b/c you did RN and not BSN?

    luvs637 replied to Chris99mu's topic in General Students

    I am in the exact same position as you--previous Bachelor's, doing ADN, 1/4th done, guaranteed a job....EXCEPT now my floor manager is leaving. So makes me wonder where my "job" is going to be. The hospital system can send me anywhere, but I was real...

14. Anyone been told a lie about making money as a CNA?

    luvs637 replied to JoeM's topic in CNA/MA

    Actually, that is a pretty typical salary where I am from. I made about that much last year.

15. HELP! Nursing Programs in Illinois. HELP!

    luvs637 replied to MaleCNA87's topic in Illinois

    Yea, I mean all of that stuff certainly helps! It can't hurt!! My bf graduated from UIC and he really liked it there. The dean was referring to the graduate entry program. The national ranking for UIC's nursing school just went up to #6 so wow I am s...
