    Apple-Core posted a topic in Orthopedic

    Stretch/Fitted Scrubs - TShirt?

    Apple-Core posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm sure this topic has been beat to death, but I've searched and can't find anything, so bear with me! So I'm searching for scrubs that are fitted and have stretch. I can't stand the feeling of the...

    Nurse-Patient ratios in rehab?

    Apple-Core replied to coopman712's topic in Rehabilitation

    I work with anywhere from 13 to 19 patients. I find once I get over 15 it starts to get really tough. Everything is fine of all I'm doing is standard care - med pass, G-Tubes, IVs, TPN etc. Once any...

    As someone who has *served on the selection committee* plus has gone through the CEP program, I can assure you that this information is incorrect. Since I doubt you have served on a selection board...

    What is it you want to know about EMCC and NAU? My advice before you start school would be to brush up on your A&P, especially diabetes, heart, lung, bowel diseases. Start learning/refresh medical...

    Apple-Core replied to chicogotti's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The GPA for the CC is taken from specific classes, NOT from every class you've taken. For example, I had a previous AA degree, with a certain GPA. However, they didn't use that GPA, they pull the...
