Hi all-- I am really interested in the medical aesthetics thing--botox, stuff like that. Anybody know where I can get trained? I live in Colorado, by the way. THANKS

I'm just wondering why there's not more stuff concerning staff development on this site!! I know there's a lot of us, where are the rest of you hiding? Or are you just too tired to post (lol)? I would like to brainstorm with you!:)

Hey all here--wondering how I can go about becoming an AL director...Do you just get a job or is there a certification process you have to go through? Thanks!

Hi all, I am having trouble finding an answer to my question so I thought I'd turn to those 'in the know.' Patient is a geriatric male with hx of gout for quite a while, tophi formation frequently, one erupted on his toe and we healed it (amazingly...

Hi all, I am really interested in getting in on the botox and fillers stuff...Anybody know of anything closer to Colorado as far as training? Thanks!

Hi guys, saw this thread about UOP and had to put in my 2 pesos... I just graduated last month ADN, got licensed just the other day. Everything all set to go with UOP for my BSN, financial aid (supposed to cover costs), everything. Got ready to sta...

Wow, that's a heck of a way to get into nursing. I am sorry they are doing that to you. You should find a facility that will give you the REAL classes--you have classroom didactic time, and also clinical time where you work on the floor with the in...

I wouldn't call it a 'relapse' because it's a prescribed drug. If it were me, I think I'd have a talk with your director, just to be sure everything's out in the open and on the up-and-up. That's a hard one. Congrats on the being sober part, and s...

OK guys.... Tell me the ABSOLUTE BEST RN-BSN online program there is in your humble opinions....It's so hard to make a decision!!! :uhoh21: Tell me what you chose and why!!!

Hey can all you experienced people tell me what the prerequisites are to University of Phoenix's RN-BSN program or tell me where to find them? Thanks! Need to change my name to :balloons: KimmyADN!!!!!! :balloons:

That's what I wanted to do---but they told me to chill out until they can evaluate exactly what classes I need and stuff like that. I was going to stick with the CC where I got my ADN to do what I call prerequisites (they say there are no prerequesi...

Anybody got advice (Trauma I'm lookin' at you here :uhoh21: ) on anything I can do to get a headstart on this UOP thing? Can't really enroll until I pass NCLEX, just so bored and anxious that I wish I could focus on doing something that will get me...

Hey trauma-- How much did it cost? Did financial aid cover it all or not? I'm so curious!!!! K.

How does paying for UOP work? Do you just have to pay large amounts up front or can you get student loans or what?

OK, today my instructor says something about concept mapping as an alternative to care plans. What is this? How do I do it? I would like to get a jump on this. Anybody have useful info or web sites? Thanks!!!

I've still got a while (May) but I wanted to start thinking about what to get/make my ADN classmates for pinning...Any ideas (not too much $$, I am a student!)....Thanks!:roll

I am just wondering if any of you guys (I'm from Colorado, I know every state's different) had a feeding assistant curriculum. We just became able to employ these assistants with an 8 hour training period, I just don't know what to put in the curric...

Anybody know of somewhere I can find all the LATEST nursing diagnoses? I can find bits and pieces here and there, and mostly the old standards, just wanted a new revised listing. Maybe a website or something? When I do a search I only come up with...

Thanks for the ideas...I did try the NANDA one before posting but with no luck, however that other one by Mithrah (that is familiar because our Med Surg books take us to that addy) was great. Thanks!

Sounds like a great place to work :) Tell your SDC to count his/her lucky stars!!!

Well I'm the SDC here, which at least in rural places is a catch-all for a little of everything. I do staffing (we use agency a lot, can't find anyone out here), teach CNA classes, and generally do administrative junk under the DON. You really have...

My hospital is a CAH also, but we only have 8 beds in our hospital and 32 in the attached LTC. An LPN manages the LTC, an RN manages the ER/Hosp, and 2-4 CNA's work (mostly the LTC). It's quite different from the great big hospitals I'm doing my RN...

I am an LPN SDC but I believe it's because this is a VERY rural area, our hospital has 8 beds (smallest in the state whoo hoo) and our LTC has 32. Also nobody else wanted the stinking job lol. Actually before I got it there wasn't an SDC, the DON t...

Hey I was just thinking about going to Canada too...I'm an LPN right now, do they have those there? I'm working on my RN though, and probably wouldn't go until after that...but I wish the US had a health program like they do. So a nurse is a nurse ...

can anyone help? it seems like nobody's interested in this staff development board....but i'll try anyway! i have a CNA who needs some anger management education--anybody know of a good (board has to approve it) module? your help is appreciated!
