  5. Need Help!!!

    Future_Nurse_Natalie replied to Nursegirlgg's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I go to Mercy and there are now day and evening classes available but only RN. We don't have an LPN program. Owens has a crazy wait list and supposedly Lourdes is getting full. I'm not sure about...

    Future_Nurse_Natalie replied to student_nurse_2006's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  13. How did you learn IV Push technique

    Future_Nurse_Natalie replied to Carla25's topic in General Students

    We were taught to push each incriment in 15 second intervals. 1 minute seems too long to wait with each push unless otherwise indicated. Make sure if it's compatible with a running IV or if you have...

  21. Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

    Future_Nurse_Natalie replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing
