   Hello! I work in HomeCare and I am trying to figure something out. I have a patient who is currently on Plavix and Aspirin daily. He is having surgery on 10/24 and his MD said he would have to hold both prior to surgery. He has AFib and a pacemaker. ...

   I am currently in the day program at Ptec and at times it is a little unorganized, but you get what you pay for. This program is so much less $$ than any other program that I can stand a little chaos. As far as getting accepted, I got 12.9 on the TAB...

    At the orientation the PN advisor told us only 24! I am super nervous! And on top of that they postponed the St. PETE start date so there is just the Clearwater traditional program and the hybrid starting in August. I guess they have had a lot of cut...

    I took version 5, they changed the point system based on the new TEAS because it so so much harder. Now you only need a 58% to get in instead of a 70%. I was thinking about re-taking it, but unfortunately I just took it last Friday and there is not 3...
