   AP0525 replied to camiluvsNURSING's topic in New Nurse

   The biggest thing here is when did her symptoms start? ( as others have said) If she is out of the window to be called a "code stroke", her vitals were stable, she was awake and alert, etc., then she was fine to wait for the doctor for a bit. If she...

7. NP Changes that need to happen...

   AP0525 replied to Sabotai's topic in NP

   I 100% agree with Myelin! All of these online schools like Georgetown, Frontier, University of Phoenix, etc that call and haunt you to go there are completely in it for money. And they all make you find your own preceptors and could care less where y...

9. Waiting for a reply to masters application?

   AP0525 replied to Dalla's topic in CNM

   Congrats! Unfortunately, Georgetown's online programs are not approved in NC (where I live) so I can't apply there. I have a friend in FL who is doing the FNP program through Georgetown though and she likes it. Good luck with everything :)

14. Ugh, those "I'm so stupid" moments

    AP0525 replied to TheCoppertop's topic in Emergency

    In some cases, let docs yell and act stupid. You did the right thing by not leaving her in trendelenberg if she felt worse. With a pressure that high, he should have just been able to lay her flat and stick. I'm pretty sure she probably had some JVD ...

15. Resume Critique requested

    AP0525 replied to heron21's topic in Job Hunt

    Good format. Correct spelling. Both a plus. Personally, I'd leave out where you did your clinical rotations on a resume. It's not necessary and takes up a lot of space. That's something you may discuss during an interview, but not necessarily include...
