  2. Will school nurses be extinct?

  6. low heart rate during dialysis

    I am new to dialysis nursing and I had a question about this patient I had. Typically it seems that patients will have higher heart rate during dialysis due to fluid being removed. I have a patient whose heart rate goes down to 48, 46 during dialysis...

  14. I don't know what to do (literally!)...

    I do think that being a nurse will give you an edge over other candidates for the position but I don't think you need to be a nurse. I attended the Lamaze International training course and our instructor wasn't a nurse. And half the class attending ...
  15. Boston College Master's Entry

    Hi, I graduated from BC's DE program and had the same concerns about the time frame as others on this post. However, I ended up choosing it because it was the least amount of credits (and thus least amount of money) than other schools. Also, it's p...
