    question for Txspasdequeen

    EricJRN replied to calliesue's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree. No signs of a problem in TX so far with licensing EC grads. If restrictions do eventually come up, hopefully it would come with a grace period for enrollment or graduation (so that enrolled...

    EricJRN replied to pypersmomma's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Once you begin taking prerequisites for the LPN program, you'll have at least a little better idea of what it's like. It's a little difficult to answer questions about difficulty because everyone...

    should I take a&p I and a&pII at same time?

    A lot of schools require A&P I as a prereq for enrolling in A&P II. I'm assuming you checked that out

    becoming a "Code blue" team nurse

    EricJRN replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Students

    A lot of times the team is made up of one or two people from various departments - like one ICU nurse, an ER MD, one respiratory therapist, one pharmacist, etc... Nurses from non-critical care areas...

    EricJRN replied to bisacat's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I like three in a row, especially when my assignment is the same (or similar). I'm tired by the third, but I know what's going

    Working as an NA will be a great way to see nursing up close. We have seen highly-educated people (undergrad and grad degrees) have great experiences in such positions as they prepare for nursing...

    Securing UVC/UAC?

    EricJRN replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I so wish we'd try securing to one side with Tegaderm rather than bridging. With the Duoderm I don't think the bridging is too hard on the skin, but it seems like I spend half the shift trying to...

    Does this mean I failed?

    EricJRN replied to NHGN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't ever sweat one type of question. Even for people who get several math questions, we can't say that's a bad sign because we don't even know which questions are scored vs

    EricJRN replied to kat12n's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everyone's exam is different, but the "hot spot" and put-in-order items rarely appear and they don't provide any information on the pass/fail result just because you had or didn't have

    Question about Heimlich Maneuver and restaurants.

    EricJRN replied to HappyPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    From your standpoint, it's a good idea to take an instructor class before teaching. As far as whether employees would be protected by Good Samaritan Laws, that's a different consideration. Good...

    I think you've already hit on the biggest difference I can think of: timing. While autonomic dysreflexia remains a concern for months or years after an SCI, a patient would enter neurogenic shock a...

    Methotrexate for ectopic pregnancy

    EricJRN replied to cubbynurse's topic in Ob/Gyn
