   I have applied for admission in the spring semester. One of my friends is a nurse who graduated a year or so ago, and she told me that it took a while for her to get her letter. However, that was three years ago. Maybe they've streamlined their pr...

   If you are looking for a dog that would be a great companion, you should try the kind I have, a Boston Terrier. They are very lovable and sweet and love to play and love to learn. My dog Tiger is so smart! He knows which toy to get when I tell him...

10. How is code blue announced at your facility?

    tyger9966 replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet (I will be starting my nursing prerequisites in Jan.), but I do work at a hospital. We don't use colors here, we use numbers. A code blue is "Stat Code 99" and the floor. We don't announce the room number either, I guess think...
