I'm working on a use-case scenario for a wound vac and looking for input from wound care nurses: 1) Where do KCI pumps come from at your facility? What type of facility do you work at and do they typically own or rent? 2) Where do the pumps come from...

Thank you!

If floor nurses struggle so much with the dressing changes, who is teaching them on the floor? Is it the KCI rep? The wound care nurse? Or just part of orientation? Do you guys have to do ongoing competencies in wound care or dressing change? Than...

Do you know the length of time it took to get your license?

This is all we can afford now that reimbursement is based on patient satisfaction.

Has anyone done this program? What are your thoughts? Thanks.

Roll call and discussion for all of us applying to Frontier Bound spring term 2013. I haven't submitted anything but I'm so excited. Anyone else?

How did you do on the exit HESI, jt?

Good for you! I taught the OB portion of an LPN program and have a great respect for the career! The Path to LPN

I would go directly for RN, but if you do go the LPN route, familiarize yourself with the process. You can always go back for your RN. Just make sure the school is reputable! How to Become a LPN

How is it going? Do you need any more clarification?

Did you figure this out? Happy to help you clarify.

I would recommend reviewing how to write a SOAP note. This is a quick article on the down and dirty basics of SOAP note charting.

So how far is everyone in their programs? :)

It's my first travel job and I have only had 2 shifts, but I have so much anxiety I don't want to go back. My recruiter made it sound so rosy & I am miserable. I don't think that it's the assignment, I think it's just being a traveler. I don't...

I'm curious to hear from other nurses who are responsible for Chloraprep prior to a c-section. I've never done it before and am now at a facility where we are required to do it. Do you use sterile gloves? Any resources to watch it done? I am looki...

I'd love any tips, advice, how to remain an island when people are unprofessional or rude...

It's getting better, and I am trying to stay positive. How are you doing, perfexion?

How are you doing perfexion?

I spoke with my agency and manager, called off one day because of a migraine, slept about 18 hours and now am ready to face the next 10 weeks. There just may be more chocolate & wine in my off hours for a few months. Should I really bring donuts...

I completely don't understand travel nursing at all. I thought my agency went to bat for me. The shift charge nurse is dismissive of my questions, and this is my first assignment. It is significantly different from any facility I have worked at be...

Yes, I had an attorney review the contract. I already spoke with people at my agency last week, and it's still not better. I am working with my agency to try to improve things this week, but if that doesn't improve than I am flabbergasted. I have ...

Yes but if I am missing facility specific things, I hear the other nurses talking about me, but no one ever mentions it to my face. I ask for help or where something is on my third shift and get told that I should already know. I had a migraine the...
