  1. Preceptor issues

    londonflo replied to atlnurse7's topic in Critical Care

    Do you draw up the wasted amount (squirt it into the blue bucket) or keep it in the vial when you place the vial in the blue bucket? Is the blue bucket sealed so that no one can get into

  2. Preceptor issues

    londonflo replied to atlnurse7's topic in Critical Care

    But you do waste them (disgard the waste -- how?), don't you before you put the vial in the blue bucket? I am retired but it used to be an understanding, that to prevent med errors, you should...

  3. Preceptor issues

    londonflo replied to atlnurse7's topic in Critical Care

    I am confused by your reply. Don't you draw up what you are going to give in the med area out of the vial or are you drawing it up at the bedside? You need to bring the vial to the bedside to scan I...

  4. Preceptor issues

    londonflo replied to atlnurse7's topic in Critical Care

    Does this mean she said it? The odds are this may happen if you continue this practice. And it is very serious to walk around with a narcotic on your person. So serious that you may be accused...

  5. Would you pass the 1920 NCLEX?

    londonflo replied to londonflo's topic in General Nursing

    While I should have been doing more sorting of books yesterday, I spent a fair amount of time re reading what an RN was expected to know and practice 100 years

  6. Victory College of Nursing - Fort Lauderdale LPN to RN

    londonflo replied to Tray's topic in School, College Programs

    Their website seems to be down

  7. HIPAA Violation

    londonflo replied to Cat59's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well, looks like they were violating HIPAA too. This is only a small blip in your nursing education. If I may ask, what state is it in? I wish you better luck with future education and I wish you...

  8. 4 yr program vs community college

    londonflo replied to sms777's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    the community college in my area has scholarships for first generation students who go to college. Now is the time to contact your local community college to find out what your chances are for being...

  9. Unemployed 68 yr old NP told she is "too old" for job

    londonflo replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I do wish you the best for obtaining an NP job. I don't have any recommendations beyond joining a health institution to progress into an NP job. Why hasn't your previous job (if you applied) accept...

  10. Community College Versus University

    londonflo replied to Guest 1191353's topic in School, College Programs

    You do not have a clue about the intense content you are going to study in an ADN program. And you don't understand how a BSN builds on previous nursing

  11. Do I need to take a RN refresher course?

    londonflo replied to SueK's topic in Home Health

    I am retired now but have sold books for many years including currently. I retired at 62 for Social Security but as you said the longer you work, the higher the benefit. I was just ready to be done....

  13. Temporary Lifting Restrictions?

    londonflo replied to harachisauce's topic in General Students

    Will these restrictions still apply? In your first message (repeated below) you said only 2

  14. HIPAA Violation

    londonflo replied to Cat59's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You are not the first one to do this, nor the last. Can you appeal the decision with the Dean or Academic Vice President? This will not follow you I would expect. You can just say the nursing...

  15. Temporary Lifting Restrictions?

    londonflo replied to harachisauce's topic in General Students

    Yes. If you are not interested in putting your learning and patient safety first, you are in the wrong educational program. You are not there to sit at the nursing station

  16. Temporary Lifting Restrictions?

    londonflo replied to harachisauce's topic in General Students

    If a patient would fall, or buckle at the knees you need to be there to help them. More like protecting patients who need a stable adult to guide them getting out of bed and walking. Get...

  17. FNP student

    londonflo replied to Henry123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Where did you go to school? Ask you faculty for ways to improve. Did you have no standardized testing in the

  18. ANA representation & Workplace Violence

    londonflo replied to xbananachipsx's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This seems to be what keeps them busy, in my opinion. https://www.nursingworld.org/our-certifications/ There is no money in dealing with actual nurse's problems. Where were they during the...

  19. Techni-pro institute

    londonflo replied to PennyMT's topic in LPN to RN

    Techni-pro stats for one year 397 students took NCLEX 38 passed Pass rate

  20. What to expect from Walden's PMHNP program?

    londonflo replied to Kalibear17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why do you think Walden is being so generous ? Walden has canned programs. Adding a few at a discounted price means nothing to them but can mean a lot for your career. When I was young and...

  21. Help: How to Improve Clinical Skills in Online Learning?

    londonflo replied to Mathew O.'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    I looked at your college site. It doesn't say that it has a skills lab as part of the teaching program. I so wish I could help. It is hard to learn skills without handling the equipment and actually...

  22. Skills Testing

    londonflo replied to oldie's topic in General Students

    You like to criticize your nursing program (differences to emergency medicine) and don't like questions asking for more information or rebuttal and want to close the discussion. You posted......

  23. Skills Testing

    londonflo replied to oldie's topic in General Students

    We are still discussing this (not arguing) because you made a post. The 43 steps are because when writing behavioral objectives (actions by student) you can only measure one thing at a time. I...

  24. Skills Testing

    londonflo replied to oldie's topic in General Students

    You're right. I did not read the AACN competencies. But after 40 plus years of ACEN (NLN) visits and Higher Learning Commission criteria and visits I stand by my comments. If AACN really dictated...

  25. Skills Testing

    londonflo replied to oldie's topic in General Students

    Competencies are not content specific. The OP wanted skills testing requirements (testing criteria with points assigned) to be universal, such as he had in an EMS program. Guidelines are...
