1. I can't do a thorough patient assessment?

   guest1115066 replied to polkadotti's topic in Pediatric

   That’s your right, but as someone who’s trying to become confident in assessments she should do as thorough an assessment as possible on all of her patients so she knows when something is abnormal. If she never feels pedal pulses then she won’t be co...

   guest1115066 replied to OncRN2015's topic in CRNA

   I think that would be a really cute gift! Also check out "iheartguts". They have really cute plushies with different organs and stuff, not sure if she specializes or not but maybe it'll give you some ideas. Also she would probably really love this A&...

   guest1115066 replied to polkadotti's topic in Pediatric

   So if no one is using stethoscopes, they're not auscultating any sounds, are they charting that they did? Because on my floor you're supposed to listen to every patient. How would you know what resp issues they have if you're not listening? That soun...

6. CSN RN Program Curriculum

   guest1115066 replied to SKF19's topic in Nevada

   Everyone says it is very hard to get in, but I got in my first try. This is because I had a lot of points. If you get your CNA or another cert and get work experience that increases your chances of getting in and helps you TREMDENDOUSLY through the p...

7. Starting practicum this semester, any advice for pediatrics floor?

   guest1115066 replied to sd610's topic in Pediatric

   Learn their normal vital signs. Study the medications if you want to feel prepared with what they'll be getting, which is usually antibiotics, steroids, zofran, fluids and pepcid on my floor at least. Any time you interact with a child on the floor a...

   Girl, you NEED Dave Ramsey. He will change your life, there is hope. as far as the 10 year working for a nonprofit and them forgiving your loan, thousands of people have applied for that and I believe it is like less than 10% are being excepted. It ...

   guest1115066 replied to Chelsea.K's topic in Nevada

   You can expect anything within the Valley Health System (Centennial Hills hospital, Summerlin, valley, etc) to pay around $34-$40/hr roughly. The pension is desirable at UMC, however the culture is not great from what I've heard. I'm not sure if it's...

10. What are they teaching?

    guest1115066 replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in an ADN program now, and have worked as a CNA for 4 years. Most programs (including mine) don't require CNA or prior medical experience, so students don't fully understand what a day in the life of a nurse looks like. My teachers don't fully di...

13. Valley vs Sunrise

    guest1115066 replied to babygenesis2009's topic in Nevada

    $18/hr at Summerlin as a CNA vs $23/hr at Sunrise, so yeah that's much better for me at least. Can't speak for the charting system though.

14. Valley vs Sunrise

    guest1115066 replied to babygenesis2009's topic in Nevada

    They’re both in a not so great area of town. Valley is really small, lots of homeless people and psych patients. Sunrise is huge and HCA so will Pay much better, I believe they’re union. Like the other poster said they get more traumas. If it was me ...

15. CNA's that are nursing students practicing skills at work?

    guest1115066 posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Just wondering if you or any one you know have practiced skills that aren't under your scope of practice under an RN because they know you're a nursing student and want to learn/practice? [obv not the right thing to do]
