  1. Keiser Winter 2017

    Hey OP, I graduated from Keiser's Miami campus RN program in 2012. Right now I'm actually finishing up my BSN with them as well (RN to BSN program) after having practiced as a nurse for about 4...

    Thanks for the info! Def some things to
  4. MHSA vs. Healthcare MBA

    Good Morning All, I am currently at a crossroads when it comes to deciding what program to pursue. In lieu of seeing an advisor as I am still a couple of months away from completing my BSN, I wanted...
  5. ACNP Programs in South FL

    Thanks for the advice, BuyerBeware. My choices are limited because (1) I need to stay local and (2) as per what I've been able to find on my own, there aren't really that many ACNP programs out there,...
  6. Starting IVs

    The rationale behind starting distally and working proximally is that if you blow/damage a proximal vein (further up) then all veins communicating with that vein will run into that same...

  10. Census-related cancellations?

    Thank you for all the replies. I think I'm going to suggest we use a list of staff names instead the method we're using now. It's essentially a tiny printed Excel calendar and the names are printed...
  11. Census-related cancellations?

    We tried that originally, but then apparently the spreadsheet wouldn't save right across all users on our intranet... not really sure
  12. Census-related cancellations?

    Fellow managers/supervisors: I work at an LTACH facility and recently we've been in somewhat of a census drought, which of course has led to census-related cancellations often--especially of nursing...
  13. Is it normal that my school doesn't teach us IVs?

    I straddle the fence on this one... My university taught us both IV & foley insertion, as well as the maintenance of both. They were introduced with "theory" (common...
  14. CCRN / Laura Gasparis

    I realize that the CCRN is more comprehensive, but just as an aside, I passed the PCCN with 83% only using the resources provided by the AACN. No DVD's, no expensive reviews. Their resources are...
  15. Sterile Water for Enteral Feeding Tubes?

    ^^^ This. The gut is not sterile, so I'm not sure how effective using sterile water for NG/OG tubes would be. Did those of you who use this method at your hospitals have some sort of evidence-based...
