  1. Advice for Student Nurse in the ICU

    GeauxNursing replied to pogi's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    keep plugging away, you sound very dedicated to it. I also applaud ICU nurses. They are very smart ppl and I use them as a resource all the time. Some of the smartest nurses I know started out in...

  2. Dallas Nursing Institute

    GeauxNursing replied to Txstarr972's topic in Texas Nursing

    More than likely it will be night classes and weekend 12-hour clinicals. That's how we did

  3. New Schools....

    GeauxNursing replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I say the more the merrier! There are so many of us trying to get our license out there, and all these waiting lists can be very frustrating! I'm an LVN moving to AZ in May, hoping to get into one...

    GeauxNursing replied to Txstarr972's topic in Texas Nursing

    that'd be awesome. But it's just too expensive to do

  5. Advice needed please

    GeauxNursing replied to JillRNColorado's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I love my FA at my Davita clinics. She is awesome, and she taught me everything I learned as a PCT and eventually as a new nurse. She teaches me lots of things about the clinic management side of...

  6. Advice needed please

    GeauxNursing replied to JillRNColorado's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Lol, what about "no offense" to anyone working in dialysis? This is a specialty field. It's not like a no-brainer

  8. Dallas Telecollege A&P

    GeauxNursing replied to GeauxNursing's topic in Texas Nursing

    so my next question is, you took exams on campus, right? Was there one time that everyone had to be there, or were you able to sign up for a time? I'd hate to be registered for this section (which I...

  9. Dallas Telecollege A&P

    GeauxNursing posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Has anyone taken A&P thru DCCCCD telecollege? Any instructor suggestions? Also, these 2 courses, the 1407 and 1408, are they generally transferable as an acceptable A&P course to other...

  11. Dallas Nursing Institute

    GeauxNursing replied to Txstarr972's topic in Texas Nursing

    yea, nights and weekends would probably run them about 16 months I'd say, since that is how the night LVN program went. I'd be all in if that was the case! DNI was very easy for

    GeauxNursing replied to Txstarr972's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow, I didn't know El Centro had a work requirement...that sucks for most of us. Those of us in NHs, dialysis clinics, dr. offices, home health... What about Brookhaven, do they also require MS work?...

  15. What can we deny our patients?

    GeauxNursing replied to Crux1024's topic in General Nursing

    great question and great responses so

  16. Not 100% sure what to do

    GeauxNursing replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in LPN to RN

    true, true. But actually I figured that the one-year+ waiting list would be the year I need to provide residency! : ) As long as it only counts after you've been placed. And we do plan on moving...

    GeauxNursing replied to Txstarr972's topic in Texas Nursing

    wow 23 isn't too bad for DNI. I didn't like their required pre-requisites, though. I'm sure their own A and P won't even

  18. Not 100% sure what to do

    GeauxNursing replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in LPN to RN

    I am an LVN in Dallas and my husband and I are moving to Phx next spring so I can get my RN. My family lives there, (but we are not from there) and my husband expects he could get a great job ether...

  19. Anyone working or have worked for Davita

    GeauxNursing replied to NURSET2007's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Dialysis is tough. It's not for everyone. I think many nurses come into dialysis thinking you are basically sitting at a desk doing paperwork while the PCTs take care of everything. Easy, right?...

  20. Do you use 2 Bags of NS or 1?

    GeauxNursing replied to Nurseinthemaking's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Yep, that's what we

  21. Tech Certification....what's everybody else doing

    GeauxNursing replied to Kelly_the_Great's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I think all PCTS, no matter where, have until 4/10 to get it done. Davita is "reimbursing" the fees if you pass. I use the "" "" because some of my techs have had a hard time getting their money...

  22. No more reuse! Woohoo!

    GeauxNursing posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Locally we have a centralized re-use program that comes through, picks up our dialyzers and takes them away for reprocessing, then brings em back. Horrible waste of money if you ask me. We were...

  23. No more reuse! Woohoo!

    GeauxNursing replied to GeauxNursing's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I'm pro-dry pack, I thought I made that clear. I am not sad to let go of the reuse. The waste IS the chemicals, the driving expenses, the staff. Davita wide? Not sure. Just local as far as I know....

  24. Anyone working or have worked for Davita

    GeauxNursing replied to NURSET2007's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I'm in DFW, by the way. There are so many Davita and FMC clinics in our area. Seriously, 10+ of each? If there's a Davita on Walnut Hill, there's an FMC around the corner. If there's a Davita...

  25. Anyone working or have worked for Davita

    GeauxNursing replied to NURSET2007's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Someone has an opening posted, they get your resume/application. If they don't need it, they pass it around to their friends, the other area FAs, to see if anyone needs someone. Most ppl at my clinic...
