   acblds5 replied to lostrnugh's topic in New Nurse

   I work in the OR. Essentially I am dealing with one patient at a time and I work to make the surgeon happy so he/she can do the required job. My charting is minimal and I consider myself spoiled, although of course this can vary with location. An ...

   Cummings is expensive. Unfortunately, unless I'm reading it wrong (may be!) as I look at the course descriptions, many of them do not list the book. I am a plan-ahead-person, but I'm afraid of buying things I don't need. This Cummings book is list...

   Eastsider, looks like you are on here right now. What group did you get placed in (A, B, C, or D)? I met you before our CPR class. I forget your real name though. Bad with names.

    Why don't you just change careers if you are unhappy? Do something about it.

12. a positive thread?!?!

    acblds5 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with you, Mr. Murse. I just got accepted to nursing school and I can't wait to get busy. I prefer to surround myself with positive people and to be one myself. I have not read all of the replies to your post, but I think that th...

    Yes, the UT Student Affairs replied very quickly with the information that the above mentioned class (by eastsider, 8-hrs on 3/17) WILL work to satisfy our compliance needs. I thought I'd pass that on. I'm still seeking information on the procedure...

    I played email/phone tag with Mr. Villanueva today, and he does not think the 8-hr class mentioned above is entirely appropriate for nursing students. So, I think I need to check into it more before it's a go.

    That's exactly the class (for CPR, etc.) that I had my eyes on and I have emailed them to see about registration/payment. I may see you then! Since I am still working full time, I do not plan to do any CNA classes at this time even though it sure so...
