1. KC hospitals

   fleasle posted a topic in Kansas

   I am relocating to Kansas City from Wichita in the next few months. I am wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of shift diff Shawnee Mission Medical Center and KU Med Center pays? I have talked to St. Lukes and they have a flat rate versus a perc...

2. Any Wichitans love their job?

   fleasle posted a topic in Kansas

   After another horrendous weekend, I am about to be done with my current Med Surg job. I am currently looking around for other opportunities in the Wichita area, and I am wondering if there are any facilities where it isn't grueling day in and day out...

   I bet the poor fella just needs a few good doses of Dilaudid and his pain will be much better. That Dilaudid does wonders...

4. Butler CCC or WSU Nursing Program

   fleasle replied to jjdsspring's topic in Kansas

   While I have worked with students of both WSU and Butler, as well as Newman, I would have to disagree and say it certainly depends on the student as to whom is the most prepared. I currently work with recent WSU grads that are not nearly as sharp as ...

5. Butler CCC or WSU Nursing Program

   fleasle replied to jjdsspring's topic in Kansas

   I went to Butler and worked about 30 hrs a week with no problem. However, I do not have any children. I work with some WSU nurse techs and they are able to work 48-72 hrs a wk, so it probably has a lot to do with what your life exists of outside of w...

6. Hi all....I am looking to a different field.

   fleasle replied to lizdctorn2b's topic in Kansas

   Thanks for the info, Knarf. So on the electives, you have to take them elsewhere and transfer them or what? Doesn't make any sense.

   fleasle replied to lizdctorn2b's topic in Kansas

   Hey Knarf...totally off subject, are you doing KU's online RN-BSN? I just applied for spring semester. Would love any info you might have, like, how many do they admit each semester and what do clinicals involve? Thanks!

8. Mixing IV meds

   fleasle posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi all, I am a relatively new nurse and had never considered mixing IV meds together before administration. This was never something that came up in school, nor something I ever saw during clinicals. However, several nurses on my floor regularly do t...

   That is an urban legend. Dr. Pepper has never been made of, or contained prune juice. Here is the snopes page link to read about it if you wish.

10. Any Kansas students starting program in January?

    fleasle replied to GraceNotes's topic in Kansas

    I went to Butler. I am now finishing my Bachelor's through an online RN-BSN program.

11. Any Kansas students starting program in January?

    fleasle replied to GraceNotes's topic in Kansas

    What school are you going to? Of course, all schools differ in their curriculum and clinicals etc. I can say to be prepared for lots of reading, lots of studying, and lots of time management needed. Your clinical workups can take 6-8 hours or more on...

    I, too, will be starting as a new grad on a transplant floor. I vote yes to a transplant forum.

13. 7p-7a question

    fleasle posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all ! I will be graduating in May and, so far, the positions I have interviewed for have been for the 7p-7a shift (which is what I want to work anyway). During clinicals, we have only done day shift rotations and, therefore, I have no idea what...

14. IV push rates

    fleasle posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone know of a reference, like a laminated card of some sort, that lists the most common IV push meds with dosages and push rates? I have searched the web, but I haven't been able to locate such a thing. Thanks! Fleasle

15. for those in a 4 sem. program, which semester was hardest??

    fleasle replied to speedykicks's topic in General Students

    The dean of the nursing department told us at the beginning of our 1st semester that the hardest semester, "is the one you are in". She was not lying. LOL. :wink2::wink2::wink2:
