   I'm glad you directed me back to UW Green Bay, and it is back on my list. Actually, it appears they have combined the UW system into a single online program called BSN@Home (for Wisconsinites), and BSN-LINK for out of state-ers. I'm still troubled ...

   Thanks for posting spreadsheet! I don't know why there are not more programs to choose from that have lower in-state tuition in WI. I'm still looking though. I have about 4K I can spend a year through work, with a capstone of about 12K for any sin...

4. Confused evaluating RN to BSN online programs

   SkateBetty replied to SkateBetty's topic in Online Learning

   Oh, interesting. I live in Wisconsin. For some reason I can't remember I ruled them out. I'll have to look back and re-consider. I think it's because, like so many programs, I'll have to do a lot of generals before the upper division nursing core...

   OK, so the range of requirements, coursework, and price-tags from one program to the next has my head spinning! :confused: Chamberlain has such an excellent reputation, and with only 14 courses required for any RN it seems so straightforward......

7. Online RN to BSN through Texas Tech

   SkateBetty replied to SkateBetty's topic in Online Learning

   Would you all say this program is appropriate for a busy, full-time working mother wanting to take classes part-time? Or is it better for someone that can be a full-time student? Thank you, Wendy

   Is anyone working on the online RN to BSN from Texax Tech? Is it really as short and inexpensive as the website makes it sound? Any details or opinions about the program would be appreciated!

11. Art-Line System

    SkateBetty replied to SkateBetty's topic in CCU

    That's the one. It's made by Hospira, and is the Transpac IV Monitoring Kit with Safeset Reservoir. I so appreciate useful replies, rather than those that waste time with heckling mockery. Thank you! :heartbeat http://www.hospira.com/Products/s...

12. CVP and PAD

    SkateBetty replied to SkateBetty's topic in CCU

    Alright, that rationale makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the reply. The reason we don't wedge, as a regular practice, is because the PAD closely approximates the PCWP, and there is a risk for the patient in wedging.

    This system is similar to, but not the one I am looking for. Thanks.

14. Reasoning against pushing meds through a-line?

    SkateBetty replied to mummer43's topic in CCU

    Also, arteries are end-points, and meds are more likely to sit there, locally, causing ischemia, before they are finally taken back up through capillaries and distributed centrally where they are needed.

15. Reasoning against pushing meds through a-line?

    Arteries are anatomically different than veins, and have a layer of muscle. They are more likely to spasm when drugs are administered into them, which can cause tissue necrosis.
