1. Issue With Narcotic Count

   meiplums posted a topic in General Nursing

   So I'm in a pretty bad situation here... I am a new nurse who's in my third month of working in an LTC facility. We use a Controlled Substances book to sign out whenever we are going to take a narcotic drug. I was working with an agency nurse, and wi...

   I know latex is efficient in protecting your skin from viruses or bacteria, but does vinyl gloves provide that same level of protection? I know vinyl is cheaper material.

5. Psy NP program in Wilkes university

   meiplums replied to Suna100456's topic in NP Students

   Thats interesting! I am located in Philadelphia and I know Wilkes is far up north, so they might not have sites to recommend in my area. It's really hard to find preceptors in Philly since there's so many schools & NP students here.

   Oh okay, I see. Do they have a surgery rotation (like to teach you suturing)? I got accepted into their FNP program for the fall but I'm a little hesitant to go (pricey tuition & the thought of finding preceptors all on my own stresses me a lot)....

9. Pharmacists admitted to BSN Program

   meiplums replied to CYNTO Y's topic in Pre-Nursing

   also sorry if this sounds defensive, I'm not trying to be. If what you said (greyhound & motel) works for some that's great. I was just trying to point out unfortunately it still won't work for everyone in really tough situations.

10. Pharmacists admitted to BSN Program

    meiplums replied to CYNTO Y's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Motels can be expensive for a whole month of stay, and most new grads are already over 100k in debt. Lots of them can't get approved for more credit. I know some health care professionals who have been working for 5+ years but still can't even get ap...

    I noticed during job search a lot of people recommend to relocate. But considering this person is a new grad, how will new grads have the funds to relocate? Relocating usually cost a couple of thousands.
