    Microbiology/Excelsior

    BBFRN replied to **Trinity**'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wide complex SVT versus VT

    BBFRN replied to jdiekhof's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    It depends on any other abnormal beats present. If the episode was preceded by a premature atrial beat, then it was most likely SVT. If it was preceded by a premature ventricular beat, then it was...

    CPNE Workshop in Atlanta

    BBFRN replied to TNNurse65's topic in Online Distance Learning

    FNP student applying as "non-degree seeking"??

    BBFRN replied to grapejuice01's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It shouldn't affect your graduation status, but it will likely affect your financial aid status. You won't be able to get Stafford loans or gov't grants if you are registered as a non-degree-seeking...

    Nursing Dx??

    BBFRN replied to Firemedic7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    BBFRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    You should be using NT sxn tubing to sxn anything in the nares. My guess is that you could cause damage to the nasal mucosa, turbinates, etc. if you use a yankauer. This would be a more realistic...

    Hi- DM nurse here. They will most likely want to know your background, what areas you liked the most, your reasons for leaving the bedside, etc. You shouldn't have any real surprises there. If you...

    Personally, I wouldn't listen to anything a TCN rep has to say. Their main prerogative is in selling their study guides. Talk with ISU directly for any info you may need regarding their programs....
