  1. Anyone currently working for Clarian?

    cc_nurse replied to cc_nurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Thanks! That was the impression that I got too, but as I said, I am a whole lot 'skeered' by the idea of moving that far away and am happy that I didn't have 'rose colored' glasses on when I...

  5. Bloomsburg and Cedar Crest nursing students

    cc_nurse replied to lovemeformexox's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I graduated in 2007 from Cedar Crest. It is a demanding program that will definitely prepare you to pass boards and work as an RN. The good thing about CCC is that they have several "tracks" you can...

  7. license transfer

    cc_nurse replied to sweaver27's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Thanks I hadn't thought of it that way. I knew there were state tests prior to NCLEX, but was thinking that there still were areas that offered that option... :imbar or actually I should say I wasn't...

  8. license transfer

    cc_nurse replied to sweaver27's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The only way you would have to retake a licensing exam is if for some reason you took something other than NCLEX. I know when I was applying for my IN license there were questions verifying that I...

    cc_nurse replied to cc_nurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

  16. Time involved for Indiana endorsement?

    cc_nurse posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    Hi everyone, I sent for my temp license/endorsement license this past week and don't expect anything for a few weeks at least-but I was wondering if anyone else had experience with this and could give...

  18. Do you swab for MRSA upon admission?

    cc_nurse replied to BittyBabyGrower's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We went through a very nasty bout with S.aureus last year and had to revamp all of our infection control procedures as a result. Now we swab every admission regardless of whether they are in-house or...

    cc_nurse replied to cc_nurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Thanks to you too! We would prefer to stay pretty rural to small suburb if possible. We live in a mid-sized town now and would like a different environment for the kiddos. I am sending for my IN...

    cc_nurse replied to teeituptom's topic in General Nursing

    :angryfire I have seen that so often! Clueless parents drive me nuts... I also love the folks who bring the 7 yr old to an "R" rated movie...what could they possibly be

  22. Shift times

    cc_nurse replied to steelersRN's topic in General Nursing

    No- of course not, our hospital overlaps shifts too, I think that is probably the norm. I was wondering why the night shift doesn't get the extra 1/2 hr. I wondered if the other shifts felt that was...

  23. Shift times

    cc_nurse replied to steelersRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious as to why it is set up like that-seems

  24. Clear TPN?

    cc_nurse replied to EricJRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    When we admit a micropremie or otherwise critical kid, we always use "Stock TPN" which sounds like what you are describing. Its only used for that first 24 hr period at which point the TPN /c MVI is...
