Thanks for the response! In Oregon this is surprisingly all legal since I am under a RN, even though she isn't present at all times (eve shift, noc shift). I think it may vary from state to state. I'm not sure how other facilities run in other states...
I work in an assisted living facility (I'm not a nurse) my title is Health Care Coordinator and I transcribe MD orders, order and administer meds, give insulin, provide treatments and do light wound care send collect samples for the lab...My job is.....
http://www.sumnercollege.edu/blog/ I just read this article on the Sumner College blog website about a RN program they are going to be having there...they already have a LPN program too. I'm amazed schools keep on opening RN programs...I just want to...
A facebook friend who is a nurse posted this....I had to post it here! I'm not a nurse but LOVE them, and I thought some of you would like this! "You're a nurse?? That's cool, I wanted to do that when I was a kid. What do you make?"....."WHAT DO I M...
I work in a Jewish Facility and a lot of the residents are DNR. One thing that is very important to them is pain management, and not dying in pain. Most of the families I have dealt with when their family member is dying is that they actually desire ...
No we have have four carts for all of the residents, but two people do the main med pass while there is a third person to also do the med pass and do most of the paperwork. On top of that there are two nurses on duty and another person who is within ...

Oh, and no I'm not currently enrolled at PSU right now. I graduated from there but have been taking the rest of my prerequisites at PCC, but I'm probably going to go back to PSU to finish up, because like you said, its a long process to take the prer...

There are definitely professors that teach the same class at both campuses just like SVXPORT said, and really the main difference is the use of a human cadaver, so the classes will be structured a little differently. I took A&P at PSU but then ha...
I'm curious what determines a waitlisted student over an accepted student??? Is it GPA, experience, etc...or is it just space availability???? Would you mind sharing your GPA and experience??? I'm applying next year and I'm afraid I will be rejected ...

1. What nursing home do you work at and where is it located or what kind of facility do you work at? I work at an assisted living facility (not a nursing home) and it is located in Oregon. 2. What do you see as the greatest advantage for residents...
Hello everyone! I'm curious as to what your GPA's and other experience was for those who either got in, or are waitlisted...I plan on applying next year, and wanted to know what they typically look for in an applicant! Thanks for all those willing to...
