I agree, forget the LPN. Most hospitals don't even hire LPNs anymore. If you can't do the BSN right away because of money or time, get your ADN then do RN-BSN. I got my ADN and then worked full-time...
I think most schools require the GRE within the last 5 years, at least the ones I applied to. I think that's because the scores are only available for 5 years from the testing site. I waited until I...
How'd your interview go today Loveseacraft? Did they say anything about when they are making decisions? Last week I heard by the end of the month, but the waiting is already killing

Well, I've been in Tulsa for almost 2 months, and just started at Saint Francis a few weeks ago. So far so good. I miss Charlotte more than I thought I would, but everyone here seems really nice and...
I figured it was just a preference, or whether one is taught using RAP vs CVP. This particular nurse was adamant that it was RAP and that to call it CVP was wrong, although the values for CVP and RAP...
I've always heard CVP referring to RA pressures, including the research I've read. I just recently moved and when I called the RA a CVP (talking about the proximal port of a PA catheter) I was...
