   ana78ng replied to dnnc52's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

   Questions to consider asking.... Were there any ST/T wave changes during her pain episode? Any arrhythmias? What type of "stress test"? Chemical, non-chemical, which chemical? If she can't finish the...

3. Carpuject!?

   ana78ng replied to hendersonar's topic in Patient Medications

   No air. Air = screwed in tube closure device unscrews and flies across the room, with your med. I learned that quickly while giving IVP meds in nursing school. We have carpujects, but not many use...

4. Shands @ UF Gainesville

   ana78ng replied to ghost's topic in Florida Nursing

   I don't work at Shands. However, they hire plenty of new graduate nurses each cycle. Many of the ICUs are staffed with new grads (neuro, for example, comes to mind). I actually find that a bit...

5. Lowest H/H I ever saw...

   ana78ng replied to my2sons's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

   Hgb 2.1/9.0. Pt who hadn't been to a doctor in 40 years walked into the ER secondary to weakness (I'll bet). Did a cardiac work up, had an EF of 10 - 15%. Infused with multiple PRBCs, diagnosed with...

6. UF Nursing Students / Alumni: Q&A

   ana78ng replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

   I graduated in 2008 from UF's ABSN. The program does a moderate job of preparing you for nursing, but requires you to put in quite a bit of effort. The instructors are a mix of amazing professors...

8. did UF cancel rn-bsn

   ana78ng replied to hot chocolate's topic in Florida Nursing

   The last ASN to BSN class was Spring 2008. There were only a handful of students - I want to say between 8 and 11. It just wasn't a financially viable

9. *Weird* Patient Allergies

   ana78ng replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

   Favorite allergies? Pt was allegedly allergic to cookies (all types). I actually had to write that on the chart. Had a mental image of bringing in some chips ahoy into the room and seeing if hives...

10. Rant/question about NCLEX

    ana78ng replied to mcs1505's topic in General Students

    1. You are an accelerated BSN student at UF? So was I, last year. 2. Took the NCLEX two weeks after receiving my letter to test, even though I submitted my application one week late - took the test on...

11. engraved stethoscope

    ana78ng replied to nursealongtime's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The bell. My master cardiology went missing when I left it on the table during report (something I never do, but did just once). I paid a ransom for its return and immediately had the bell engraved,...

12. What about PA school?

    ana78ng replied to kurlygurl's topic in General Nursing

    I completed an accelerated BSN and am currently in NP school. In hindsight, perhaps the PA route would have been better, although my local school required medical experience for 2 years to be a...

13. Need Advice About Hca Hospitals In Florida

    ana78ng replied to limaya2003's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I will be the one to be contrary, but I work at a Florida HCA facility and love it. We're small enough to know almost everyone, and our staffing ratios are average. Also, the for-profit/non-profit...

    ana78ng replied to grouchybuthappy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX RN on Monday - 75 questions, mostly SATA...and Passed! So I am a proponent that many SATA's are good

15. 21 SATA questions on my NCLEX!

    ana78ng replied to rabird's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just finished the NCLEX. It shut off at 75 and over 85% of my questions were SATA. I had one math problem, maybe 10 or less multiple choice. I, too, am scared and really hoping that the SATA were a...
