I am sorry, poor choice of words. My frustration from this issue and it was uncalled for.
When I researched this patient, they came from LTC on hospice, was "allegedly" on a pureed diet, although ED reports suctioning out "chunks" of food. The E...
Thanks, this pt was basically a nursing home dump on our ED door. Family is mostly absent, so there is little clarification. As I mentioned, my local management is also absent.
I was just looking to make sure I am covered as I do not have much d...
Today I have a Patient on CMO... although, the patient is on IV fluids, has daily labs drawn, on IV antibiotics. Someone placed a new IV before my shift. My interpretation is that this patient is NOT CMO.

you do not need three binders, one will do. Your binder will be mostly for lecture, maybe a section for lab. I don't know of any clinical that ever used/needed a binder. Although, folders are a must. At clinical you should have a folder for all the p...
I did the EXACT same thing, and I have to agree that THIS system works. While I did not buy the Kaplan online tool, I can say the book is valuable. My school also used ATI as well and even gave us the three day "prep" course. ATI and the three day p...
I recently completed the Fast Track program at Boyce, sure it can be done in 17 months. A few things should be mentioned. Being a Fast Track program it is a "set program", thus if you have a bunch of unfinished co-req's your choices are very limited ...
You really don't need the packet to start getting ready. The books you need are on CCAC central under 101. The books for day/evening at Boyce are the same. Since Boyce is big on lippincott and if you have the $$$, buy directly from the publisher (wit...
I agree with *LIG, I fell for the 101 trap and bought the massive collection. I never used all the books even though they swore we would use them all. I am entering my last semester and agree 100% to wait. The books you can count on using... the fund...
Books... ask around, there are some you really do not need (ie, they are ancillary) and you will NEVER crack them open. If you REALLY want them, I suggest renting them. The same goes for 102 and beyond, some books will carry from semester to semester...
The lottery system varies by campus. Allegheny there will be a list that gets posted across from M720, the early bird gets the better choices, last on the list gets what is left over. In 101 you "should" have gotten a note to call registration and si...
Over the summer, I had a clinical instructor that alluded that they are considering making it a REQUIREMENT to have all the pre-req's out of the way. Regardless, getting them out of the way is preferred as the nursing courses are fixed. Basically, th...

Will the evening/weekend program work? It can, there are a bunch of "things" that can work against you though. To start, E/W (weekend only) usually is clinical only and not too many seats. So, if in your class there are not too many people who need w...
orientation tomorrow night, then class the next day... pass/fail drug calc the first night... talk about pressure! :) BTW.. Ipod touch.. best thing ever, saved my back from carrying those books and the ATI app is nice.
