   SchoolRN,BSN replied to millhouse's topic in School

   SchoolRN,BSN replied to SchoolRN,BSN's topic in School

   Bergren~ Thank you for the clarification. Until our PS health component is ready, I will use the log like you suggested w/ in & out times but no documentation other than home or return to class. I have been working on a form as well for individua...

4. Clinic Log

   SchoolRN,BSN replied to SchoolRN,BSN's topic in School

   Per the conference staff the problem with the paper log is that if your records are subpoenaed then you have multiple students information on one page. I guess redacting isn't allowed? Thankfully, I haven't had to find out. I don't remember her menti...

   Hi, I went to a conference last week & was told that a running log is a huge no-no for legal reasons. The presenter suggested using 2 part carbon-less slips (custom made by a local printer for their school corp) in which front copy is kept in cli...

7. How important is it to get a nurse tech job?

   SchoolRN,BSN replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in General Nursing

   I completely agree. A tech job will make you much more marketable. If you can swing it with school, I would absolutely look for a position in the hospital I wanted to work at after graduation. Good luck!

   I can't offer specific advice about the Tampa area, but just wanted to encourage you to look at the bridge programs. I graduated at 42 with a BSN after going the ASN, then RN-BSN route. It was much longer route than it needed to be (I also have a deg...
