   Peanut&Buttercup replied to EB12's topic in School

   I'm a nursing student. At my school, we work with several local schools to help with the hearing and vision screenings as part of our first semester of nursing school. We're free, eager and available!

4. Anybody ever heard of "kiskitis"?

   Peanut&Buttercup replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

   I found a pdf online from the Paralyzed Veterans of America that uses that term in the reference list The reference, I believe, was later corrected. "Kiskitis" became "discitis." The corrected reference is: Postoperative Spinal Wound Infections and P...

6. lpn-bsn programs

   Peanut&Buttercup replied to pediatricnurse2's topic in Minnesota

   Yes, the programs are competitive. I think the cut off is around 11 and above (a GPA of 3.5 with a TEAS of 75% or a GPA of 3.0 and a TEAS of 80% would get you to 11, but you'd probably want to aim higher). Each school has a list of classes required ...

   Peanut&Buttercup replied to pediatricnurse2's topic in Minnesota

   I am not aware of any (I also haven't looked), but you might want to look at the MANE program. First, you get your ADN at a community college. LPNS receive credit for their prior education. Then, you enroll at Metro State for the BSN. You are dually ...

    Well, I have no clue as to whether you should have called the provider, but I found on Exelon's website instructions on what to do if the patch falls off: Exelon Patch is designed to deliver medication during the time it is worn. If your loved one's ...

11. Should I quit nursing school?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    I'd vote for finishing because you are so close and nursing will be a great way to pay for that psych PHD. It doesn't have to be one or the other! A phd will take several years, so a part time, well paying job will be nice to have. There are so ma...

12. Can having absence seizures prevent becoming a nurse anesthetist

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to carrollca's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to contact malpractice carriers to see if they would insure you with your condition. I'd guess that no one will hire someone that can't be insured.

13. Graduate RN

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to IhaveNoLife.'s topic in General Nursing

    I'll give you my thought process on the NP vs PA debate. I'm older and have a non-health care-related B.S. Originally, I wanted to do the PA route. It's two plus years and done. Perfect! I think but: 1. Most PAs require a fair amount of prerequisites...

    If there are any non-nursing classes you need to take at any point in the program, taken them now if you can.

15. Drug testing TN

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to anc9513's topic in Recovery

    I'd offer to take the supervised test, if they are still open to it. If not, I'd probably find a place to have it done and pay for it myself. Your word vs. Your coworker's word comes down to a coin flip. Test results will prove you are clean.
