    Unique bones

    EricJRN replied to coonstina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought about the hyoid as well, but it appears that that's not it. What about the coccyx? I couldn't find anything in Google that suggests that other animals have

    Excelsior and the Texas BON

    EricJRN replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Distance Learning

    One of the most helpful things to do: Follow the meeting minutes of your state board of nursing. Given the speed at which governments work, it's very rare for a state to take action against a program...

    Rn To Bsn Excelsior College

    EricJRN replied to JOONKA's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm in the program, but I took all of the exams first and now I'm bogged down in the WebCT courses. I haven't taken that specific exam (it was slightly different and called Community Health Nursing...

    Diastat

    EricJRN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Diastat is a great drug for parents who develop a comfort level in dealing with a child's seizures, but I agree with traumaRUs. It just may be too much for a bus driver to be expected to recognize a...

    EricJRN replied to tambora's topic in Camp

    Over a third of the attendees are being seen in the clinic each week without counting the meds or repeats? Or am I reading this

    how would you respond to this question

    EricJRN replied to srachael's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Would it be possible to truthfully answer her question by saying that she won't recover? It sounds like her doctor can't even offer that, since he has simply told her that recovery is "low chance."...

    Sinus Brady vs. Junctional?

    EricJRN replied to Virgo_RN's topic in Cardiac

    How slow was the rate? The typical junctional rate runs 40-60, with a junctional bradycardia giving you a rate less than 40. How long did the PR/QRS changes

    What do I need know before my doctor gives me a vaccine?

    EricJRN replied to amarion's topic in General Nursing

    Only you can determine if the site has the info you need, but the site seems inconsistently edited and difficult to navigate,

    who die first?

    EricJRN replied to sam20007's topic in General Nursing

    Johns Hopkins has done a ton of research related to gender differences in immune system function. If you post a link to the specific study you're referring to, that is probably the best way to...

    RN here... sorry for intruding on your thread. Here's what will really burn you up: Once you do become a successful, happy LPN and decide to go for RN, there will still be people who mean well but...

    Refusing prenatal ultrasound

    EricJRN replied to 2curlygirls's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    So many of us on this thread are thinking about our own experiences in relation to prenatal ultrasound, but in reality, those of us with first-hand experience of prenatal problems may have more...

    EricJRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The members and moderators here at allnurses.com realize that the NCLEX can be one of the most stress-provoking events on the path to becoming an RN or LPN/LVN. By all means, if you have a question...

    BS plus ADN equal to BSN?

    EricJRN replied to mynameisk's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Usually not considered equivalent in my experience, unfortunately. There is something called Magnet status that many hospitals strive for and the percentage of personnel with BSN's is a factor they...

    From death row to pediatrics. Say WHAT?

    EricJRN replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    Go for it, Bortaz! As with probably any situation where you'd be a minority, it's possible that someone could judge you prematurely. It's a disadvantage that we face, particularly in...

    Question about CEUs

    EricJRN replied to kburr80012's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    This is completely dependent on which state board of nursing is issuing the license. I looked around on the NJBON website and didn't see anything that specifically addressed the licensure packet...

    RN's at my job tell me "Diastolic BP is when the sound 'changes' NOT when it stops!"

    EricJRN replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    Since I missed this thread on the 'first go-round', I'll weigh in now. Many med-surg texts are starting to address this issue. Some even mention recording a three-number BP in cases where there is...

    EricJRN replied to Nursonegreat's topic in General Nursing

    Patients also self-administer it at home all the time as well. When you're dealing with patients who are being followed/educated by a primary provider and have an established diagnosis of angina, it...
