   I graduate in December. Trying to figure out the next step. Has anyone heard good or bad things about any hospitals in Nashville, excluding Vanderbilt? I'm so thrown by the fact that Centennial doesn't use PCTs on most floors and still has a 5:1 rati...

11. HELP! Prioritizing nursing intervention

    rooftop-yawp replied to Chaeryeong Pak's topic in General Students

    I'd talk with your classmates. Quick thoughts from me: Always culture before administering ABX. So grab that and your other bloodwork before Rocephin. ABC, so oxygen first. Some of these routine things are weird, so like is it time to take vital si...

14. Moving to Tennessee

    rooftop-yawp replied to britgirl's topic in Tennessee

    Chattanooga is a wonderful place. I've heard good things about Erlanger. Cost of living is much more reasonable than Nashville, but it's more small-town too. I haven't lived there, but have lived in all directions of Nashville. I like east Nashville ...
