   Lilme04 replied to Lilme04's topic in Chamberlain College

   I am taking the same class! I may end up having to get a new computer though. I can't seem to access the student success stuff. So far I haven't had any other problems. "See" you there.

4. July 2016 RN-BSN online start!

   Lilme04 posted a topic in Chamberlain College

   Hello! I hope to find others who are starting their journey towards their BSN here. I have taken online classes before, but never any nursing ones. Is there anything I should invest in (flash drive, notebooks, etc?) My computer is about 7 years old, ...

7. Chamberlain vs. Grand Canyon

   Lilme04 posted a topic in Online Learning

   Hello everyone. I am this close to making a decision between these schools and I am looking for some current info/advice. On the one hand, GCU is less expensive, but Chamberlain has minimal group activities (yay!). I have more classes to take at Cham...

8. Plane Tree Model

   Lilme04 replied to onetiredmomma's topic in General Nursing

   I know this is an old thread, but we are starting to implement the Planetree model at our small hospital. I am hoping to attend the International conference in Chicago later this year. Have you been? I've never been to any conferences, so any tips or...

9. Jacksonville University MSN roll call

   Lilme04 replied to Amy'sGrandbaby's topic in Online Learning

   I am starting their RN to BSN on the same day. I have an issue actually getting onto the myJU page, but I don't think it will hinder me once I get it solved. Good luck to you!

10. Back to school...or not?

    Lilme04 posted a topic in Operating Room

    I graduated from an ADN program in 2011. Got a job at a surgery center and an endoscopy center about 6 months later, and that's where I've been. Mostly I work in recovery, and mostly phase II patients, with some phase I thrown into the mix. I'd reall...

11. NSAID's use after surgery

    Lilme04 replied to brownbook's topic in Gastroenterology

    At our facility, the sedation nurse lets the recovery nurse know if cautery was used. Then the discharge form has a spot where you can check off that the pt has to avoid NSAID's for 2 weeks (in the case of cautery), or indefinitely, as the doc sees f...

13. Patients who "cheat" and drive home

    Lilme04 posted a topic in Gastroenterology

    I work at an endoscopy center (and a freestanding surgery center). A few times, we've had patients lie to us about how they are getting home, and they've ended up returning to their cars, and driving home. Of course we find this out too late to get a...

14. Endoscopy interview/no experience

    Lilme04 replied to ajeffs2's topic in Gastroenterology

    Hey there. I applied to an endoscopy center about 6 months after nursing school. I had no hospital experience at all, and I got the job. Yes, I had to basically learn IV starts again, but the patients were, with a few exceptions, really understanding...
