This is a 2 year accelerated RN degree in Louisiana: http://nursing.lsuhsc.edu/AcademicPrograms/Undergraduate/CARE/AdmissionCriteria.html That is just one, I found a bunch in the states you mentioned...
I think you do get used to it, but it doesn't make it much easier. In ICU, it happens a lot. Most of the time, it doesn't bother me. Sometimes, it does, and that never gets easier. When something...
Sorry to hear it, but I've never heard of it being wrong. The results can sometimes take a while to arrive in the mail, depending on which state you tested
Time and money are valuable, but they don't make it easier to get out of bed for work in the morning. Before you worry about it too much, at least check out the unit and see if you even like
Check out the thread at the top of the forum called "Primer for nurses wishing to work in US". You'd be much better to apply for NY than California, since they issue the license even without a social...
It comes in 200mg/5ml vial. We used to make it up (for ease) as 600mg in 100ml D5W. That meant that each 1ml/hr = 100mcg/min. [or modify to 300mg in 50ml syringe] 600mg/100ml = 6mg/ml = 6000 mcg/ml 1...
You can apply to a US state, meet the state's eligibility to sit the NCLEX exam, and get a license issued without having a job or definite plans to work. (Make sure you apply to a state that issues...
Initial licensure is nothing to do with a hospital. You don't have to ever work there. You need to pick a state you want to work in first. Then get licensed. Then get an employer. If the employer is...
I had to rotate in my grad year from a geriatric rehab unit to ICU. I loved it and never left the ICU for another ward!! Definitely take the offer of shadowing your MIL to see if you even like it...
Usually though, handover questions are because you want to know something. If you don't know, just say "I don't know, but I can find out if you'd like". Keep a notebook with you and write down the...

The answer is it doesn't matter if it's contagious, since unless you are immunocompromised, open cut (NO GLOVES!) etc, then you won't have a problem. It's not "contagious" ie illness causing unless...
Don't wave your finger at me! This is a nursing website, not an immigration lawyer website or a doctor website. If someone takes the info as gospel, then they are silly. Who would trust their...
To the OP, good on you for questioning this. It's really inexcusable to leave someone in pain "incase" they are "drug seeking". When I am in pain, hell yes I am seeking drugs! I would not only not...
I agree, you need a PRN or one time order, not a time-specific sliding scale. Another question is why is her BSL so high at that time of night?? Perhaps her overall insulin regime needs
I'd never heard of Casey hospital, but Berwick is a loooong way out of town. You will definitely need a car. Here is a site with info about the suburb: http://www.berwick-village.com.au/ ANother one...
I don't think the primer will help. The OP said they have already passed all requirements and just needs an employer, from what I read. Is that correct? Where do you want to
