1. Disregarding 911 dispatcher

   16mm replied to 16mm's topic in General Nursing

   That's what I was thinking also. They said when EMS arrived they checked and there was no pulse. But this is after they'd been doing cpr for quite some time. Could that have contributed to it?

2. Disregarding 911 dispatcher

   16mm posted a topic in General Nursing

   An acquaintance of mine witnessed someone having a seizure in a restaurant. She and several others jumped up to assist the woman. 911 was called. The dispatcher informed the group that help was on the way and to wait the seizure out. A woman said the...

   Way too low. I'm in TN also and new grads where I'm at off around $24 with great benefits.

4. Nurse Extern Jobs

   16mm replied to azgal81's topic in Arizona

   Where I live you can extern all year long. The best way, IMO, to find an extern position is to put the term "nurse extern" into indeed dot com and save the search. You should get email updates when new positions are posted. I'm an extern currently in...

5. Is ADN sufficient to ba trauma RN?

   16mm replied to lena04's topic in General Nursing

   I would call the nurse recruiter of a few hospitals and ask them to be honest with you about whether or not they're hiring ADN grads. That's what I did. I'll be finishing up my BSN shortly.

6. New grads in specialties without the basics

   16mm replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   Consider me one of those new grads who will be going directly into a specialty as soon as I graduate. I know where I want to be (critical care) and I'm going straight for it. I'm lucky that I landed an internship in the CVICU in my last year of nursi...

   We had an hour lunch and were free to go where we pleased.

8. book question - Jarvis

   16mm replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

   When I did health assessment the lab manual was absolutely needed. We had to do exercises in it and rip out the pages to turn them in. So if I were you I'd ask your teacher. I had a classmate who had an older edition and she stopped using it because ...

9. IV push failure - how I am failing

   16mm replied to Brandazzle1's topic in Medications

   Interesting! I don't have any advice seeing how I'm just a student, but I do appreciate you sharing your new found knowledge. I wonder what the rationale is for this? But honestly, I feel that if your job wanted to fire you, you'd be fired, not gett...

10. ADN vs BSN Battle

    16mm replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in ADN/BSN

    Lol. I see more bashing on this site of BSNs more than anything. Especially for pursuing a more "difficult and expensive degree" when ADNs are "better prepared clinically" and blah blah blah. I don't see why anyone has to judge another's choice at al...

    Yep. You're absolutely right! Guided imagery is for PAIN. Sheesh what was I thinking lol. But the good thing about missing questions like these is that I bet I'll never miss it again!☺️

13. Medsurg Question

    16mm replied to 16mm's topic in Student Assist

    Yes A and B were the one I was stuck on for a little bit. My thought was that the patient was becoming dyspnic r/t anxiety of the upcoming surgery you know? So calming him may relieve the anxiety. But I'm probably just looking too much into the quest...

15. One Year Later

    16mm replied to NurseGirl525's topic in General Students

    Good job!! I think we finished up prereqs and started our programs around the same time!! It's so crazy to think we're actually DOING it, you know? Instead of just fantasizing about it. But one things for sure, I can't wait for this semester to be OV...
