  1. Iv/blood draw Skill set in the home

    I do a ton of PICC care and a fair bit of implanted port access and care. Blood draws and IV starts are pretty stressful in the home if you aren't confident you can do it. If you aren't confident in those skills you definitely need to speak up and ...
  2. There is a girl at my school that was on home dialysis. She seemed to be able to handle everything. She did say though that if a kidney came along she would walk away from nursing school in an instant.
  3. Risks & Benefits of Hospital Birth vs. Birthing Center

    "If there were some kind of happy balance... a carefully monitored pregnancy, in hospital, but hands off unless a complication develops, fewer women would take these risks" My thoughts exactly. I am not a nurse yet, but I wanted so badly to have a...

  6. Jeff State St. Vincent's program

    I have already completed a semester of an ADN program. At the end of each semester you take a test called the ATI that is used as a predictor for passing the NCLEX. The highest level is a Level 3. I believe the TEAS is on a 150 point scale so a 7...
  7. Jeff State St. Vincent's program

    Oh I hope not. I have great grades - only one B - and scored Level 3 on the ATI. I guess it is good to hear a hard truth now though rather then spend the next 5 months pumping myself up.
  8. Jeff State St. Vincent's program

    I don't want to hope for anyone to fail but I am hoping that someone wins the lottery or their husband/wife gets a huge raise to take a job out of state or something :) I want a spot in your program!
  9. Jeff State St. Vincent's program

  11. Jeff State St. Vincent's program

    Are there any current students in 102 in the night program at Jeff State? I am trying to transfer in to the program joining in 106 in the summer and am curious about the progression rate. Put simply, are most of the students doing well and progress...
  12. Need some advice...fast

    I might would try get in touch with my contact for the interview and ask if they have time to perform the interview given the current circumstances. Say something like you understand things are probably hectic right now and just want to be considera...
  13. Just wondering....

    I have read and posted on the thread Snow Days and it got me thinking. Is it standard to expect nurses and other healthcare workers to pay for hotel rooms and spend possibly days away from their families in cases of inclement weather? Does your fac...
  14. Snow Days....

    Keeper, lol at snopocalypse - we have been calling it that too here in Birmingham.
  15. Snow Days....

    I am also in Alabama and understand how impossible it is to get anywhere once there is ice on the roads. Several of our interstates are closed and there are many cities that have simply closed all of the roads in their jurisdiction. There literally...
