  2. Children's Health Dallas July 2020 Nurse Residency

    CrunchyEvenInMilk replied to Taylor Barnett's topic in Texas Nursing

    Nope. He just asked me which of the two days I would be available so he could pass that on if anyone was interested. Children’s is incredibly slow. It took almost two months to do the on-boarding...

    CrunchyEvenInMilk replied to lv2bakc's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sorry I'm just now replying to this! I've been a bit busy. I am in the traditional program. I work full-time nights at a hospital, and I've managed to keep a pretty high GPA. The best advice I can...

  11. West Coast University DALLAS 2018 NEED INFO

    CrunchyEvenInMilk replied to lv2bakc's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don’t know the answer to that one! I had to take critical reasoning and cultural pluralism at WCU. It kinda ticked me off too. Cultural pluralism counts as a Humanities credit, which I already...

  12. ARE MOST RN SCHOOLS LIKE THIS??

    CrunchyEvenInMilk replied to Anon143's topic in School, College Programs

    My school is exactly like this! You have to get at least 76% on tests and quizzes before any homework is factored in. If your test average is not 76% at the end of class, you will not pass. If you...

    Good for you! I'm still going strong. I'm a little bummed that we now don't have a full week 10 off, but I'm going to keep pushing through. I'm almost done, so I won't sweat the small stuff. As...

  16. What unit do you work in?

    CrunchyEvenInMilk replied to OliveOyl91's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I work ICU as well. Specifically, trauma ICU. We aren't assigned to patients, we're assigned to the floor, so we help all of the nurses on the unit. We don't take vitals since our patients are...

  17. Stelara injection how would you handle this

    CrunchyEvenInMilk replied to Slipping CMA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I used to be an MA at a doctor's office, too! I'm not sure about the personality of the doctor you work for, but mine would be thankful if we caught an error. You hit the nail on the head: you work...

  18. Stelara injection how would you handle this

    CrunchyEvenInMilk replied to Slipping CMA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You could always show him the package insert. It usually has the administration info. I would also bring the package insert along to show the patient. Here's the thing tho. It's still possible to...

    CrunchyEvenInMilk replied to lv2bakc's topic in Texas Nursing

    CrunchyEvenInMilk replied to lv2bakc's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey there! When I started at WCU, they took the HESI. I think they only do TEAS now, but I'm not sure. The credits for nursing usually don't transfer, but that can be standard for any program....

  22. West Coast University DALLAS 2018 NEED INFO

    CrunchyEvenInMilk replied to lv2bakc's topic in Texas Nursing

    Best advice is to manage your time wisely. Terms go by fast at WCU, so you need to stay on top of the work or else you will struggle. Stay ahead of the game, if at all possible. I'll be honest, the...

  24. How long does it take to complete PCT training?

    CrunchyEvenInMilk replied to Jessie.'s topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    If that's how long they say it takes, that's how long it takes. Some CNA classes only take 2-3 weeks. Honestly, there's not a whole, whole lot to the basics of being a PCT. Anything specific would...
