  1. ICU Nurse in USA To Ask Questions Of

    Wow I am amazed. To be a CCRN here, you have to be employed in Intensive Care Unit and the at the same time, complete a post graduate course is 12 months long at a University. We are 1:1 ratio in ICU. If there are 2 patients that are waiting a ward b...
  2. ICU Nurse in USA To Ask Questions Of

    Hi Guys! I am an ICU nurse in Australia and as my husband is from Phoenix, we are in the process of getting an immigration visa for myself, so we can return to the USA permanently. Our daughter already has dual citizenship. I am looking for an ICU nu...
  3. Obtaining permission to sit NCLEX exam confusion

    The university I got my bachelor of nursing from has finally told me that they have posted my course details to the CFGNS. Do I just sitback and wait now?
  4. Lawyer considering nursing

    Too true! If I had the brains to be a lawyer, I wouldn't be a nurse but a Doctor. I can't possibly see how nurses and lawyers can earn the same amount of $. Speaking of which, I could do with a free lawyer right now, not the $300 per hour ones here! ...
  5. PIP ventilator settings

    I am making a basic learning package for some nursing students at my university and are having trouble trying to decide how to descibe maximum airway pressure which is easy enough, but then how do I basically describe what say an alarm pressure of 42...

  7. Obtaining permission to sit NCLEX exam confusion

    Hiya, Wow that isn't good! Please tell me it isn't La trobe as that is who I contacted about possibly doing the mid subjects? I would be following that up with the Ombudsman if I was you, as well as the local gov. I didn't enrol in the subjects, I...
  8. Obtaining permission to sit NCLEX exam confusion

    True true true Ceridwyn... Joeldew, I am hoping that is right that they can pass me with my experience only. What is your specialty, where and when are you looking at leaving? I'm in Melbn.
  9. Adult CNS-EXAM

    Hi Rose23, We all fail at something. I once attended an interview after working in ICU for 3 years abd I was so tired from being up all night that I couldn't answer the questions she asked me about pacing and ventilators lol Needless to say I didn't ...
  10. Dopamine in cardiogenic shock

    It's like the cardiothoracic consultant's..... they have their own preferances. Unless the ER doc is able to explain why they didn't agree with the dopamine then I would take it with a grain of salt. At some of the hospitals here that only do cardiot...
  11. Obtaining permission to sit NCLEX exam confusion

    There is a difference I believe. When you first graduate as an RN it is expected that some nurses work in different specialties until they find the one they love and want to base their whole career in and will maybe change between 3 or more, BUT I h...
  12. Obtaining permission to sit NCLEX exam confusion

    I have already looked up the local university and asked if I would be able to take two midwifery subjects to complete this year. This is not going to be easy as I work full time and are completing another Post Graduate course at same time whilst also...
  13. Obtaining permission to sit NCLEX exam confusion

    Ridiculous
  14. Emergency Nursing Equipment

    It's an Infection control issue also. N/saline is considered a drug in most countries and even flushes should legally be written as an order by the docs but hardly anyone does here in Oz.
  15. Emergency Nursing Equipment

    Pens with your name engraved on them and permanently attached to your body so the docs can't take them. Stethoscope, tape, and I used to always keep a clean pair of gloves in my pocket because the bleeders used to always come in during my shift and d...
