I used to have a code for my school as I'm a student but I can't find it. Does anyone here have any kind of code I can use on my $300 (ugh) Skyscape order? Thanks! :)

Wow, this is a tough one. I'm a student nurse and have seen a few issues like this come up already. They puzzle me since there are so many sides, plus there is no unanimous standard. They don't...

Interesting. I didn't have a central line until I woke up from my liver transplant - the line was just there. But they found that it was too far in after a CXR so they reinserted it and did another...

Wow, this post is amazing! Anyone have a "master" list? That'd be amazing! Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

Bump. My question is, why would you choose a central line over a PICC line with all the risks? Plus, I had a transplant and had a central line myself and after seeing how invasive and annoying it...

Not at all! For me, nothing held a candle to physiological chemistry, and once in nursing school, general nursing of adults is a ton of info in a small m amount of time! I guess it all depends what...

They always introduce themselves by first names, and I've never heard a clinical instructor be called differently!

Currently on break awaiting a liver, excused by my school. All in all, I have 3 more semester till graduation. Is it a blessing or a curse? Anyone have any experience? Can employers prejudice...

Yeah, this came up again in clinicals today. Our new clinical instructor is a MSN CNP and says she will be grandfathered in, but they're doing away with MSNs, going the "physical therapy" way and...

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm a senior in nursing school and have had chronic liver disease since age 5 and many chronic pain problems since being in a car accident 2 years ago. It really is a...

Good questions & answers. How about students and clinicals? I'm getting nervous for this coming semester - clinicals an hour away in Cleveland (lake effect!) and I'm absolutely terrified of driving...

How about if I'm not going to try to conceive for a while? My fiance and I want children - not for a few years, but definitely when it's the right time! Will working with chemo/oncology directly...

Hi, I'm a student in a BSN-RN program and am really interested in oncology nursing. I decided to do my summer externship on an oncology inpatient unit until a friend of mine who works on an oncology...

... this is my 5th year in a BSN-RN program and it's going so slowly. I have a lot of health problems that are getting in the way of the rest of my schooling so I'm thinking of transferring to a LPN...

I've done freelancing for Kaplan. Sometimes you'll just see a random "call for submissions" floating around nursing blogs/this site. Kaplan just told me they're done with the series, but who knows...

I'm in BSN-RN at Kent state - they have a few campuses and different options as well. I love it here! I know we have an LPN-BSN/RN option. :) Good luck!

Right now does EVERY APN (NP, CNS, etc.) degree consist of a MSN? Or is that something you get first? And what are the "four" advanced practice roles? Are they the only types of the APN/MSN/?...

Yes, definitely. I think mostly everything is okay, but there are definite assignments you have to wonder about. Right now I have a clinical instructor who is insane - she wants nearly 100 drug...

I'm in a BSN-RN program, and we lost a TON of people in "pre-nursing" because they couldn't get through the 3 semesters of chemistry, the A&P, etc. We even lost a few in our "Intro to Professional...

I agree!! But for other reasons - like if we were to miss because of being sick or registering late, especially for the first day/orientation, I can't imagine any of my past instructors would...

This is interesting to me. I'm a student and I can tell which nurses like us, which don't, and which don't but are pretending to. I just make sure I do absolutely everything I know to do, keep the...

Do you have a link to "official" information on this? Is it ONLY nurse practiioners that are affected, or other APNs as well? Will existing NPs be "grandfathered in" or will they all have to get...

Going to the link right now! Good luck :)

VERY confusing! There are already "doctor nurses" with of course the standard doctorate and now the "doctor of practice" degree they recently approved (last few years maybe?). Honestly? I LOVE...

I say no. Why should it be? Now, just for the record, I DID get the H1N1 vaccine because I'm immunocompromised to the point of where getting H1N1 would probably be worse than any vaccine effects....
