  1. Critical Care University

    arv posted a topic in Emergency

    Hello to all! My apologies right off the back for a question that has been bandied about time and again; I just want to put a different spin on it. I will be graduating in May and know that I would...

  2. Critical Care University

    arv replied to arv's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for all your replies! The link that is posted above is, in fact, the Critical Care University that I'm speaking of. I'm actually going to go to a dinner they are having Monday night, where...

  3. Drug Guide

    arv posted a topic in General Nursing

    This thread is open to all nurses, not just for nursing students! My college currently uses Davis' Drug Guide for Nurses, however all of the instructors HATE it. As this is the only one I have been...

  4. Nursing students and new nurses.....about injection sites

    arv replied to TazziRN's topic in Patient Medications

    Hi Tazzi! I really enjoy your posts. Just a quick note from nursing school on the East Coast - when we covered IM injections the first semester; we were told to disregard the DG site. It was on some...

    arv replied to LoveTheNICU's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Seeing a patient's b/p & pulse on the monitor after having none actually ranks only behind my marriage and the birth of my son in the best things that have ever happened to me! We were on a Peds...

    arv replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lori, Normally just a lurker, but I wanted to let you know that I am so truly happy for you and your husband. I haven't really posted on this thread because I felt that I just didn't have the right...

    arv replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  8. Anyone ever work full time while getting their RN?

    arv replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I just wanted to add another word of encouragement. We were told that they don't recommend that you work, but they know that most people have money issues. I have been working FT (40-45...

  9. Ok maybe a dumb question but.....

    arv replied to cristina2581's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that schools should be able to make that a requirement. I know it is disappointing when you don't get in and they end up with spots open but excluding people who have no experience is...

  10. Can someone please give me an easy to understand definition of status post?

    arv posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am a first year nursing student who is currently in clinicals. Can someone please give me an easy to understand definition of "status post" ? My current pt is s/p tracheostomy. I haven't really...

  11. At report-off time...

    arv posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What exactly do you tell your nurse when you are reporting off? I usually end up telling her everything I can think of because I am afraid that I will leave out some important information. I don't...

    arv replied to arv's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks so much. I tried to look this up in the 20th edition of Tabers, but it wasn't listed (not under status at least!) The way you explained it is exactly what I needed to know. Thanks
