Catheters with a clamp are the Non-Valved catheters. Must be clamped at all times when not in use. Requires heparin to prevent back flow of blood into catheter, causing clot formation. Catheters without clamp are Valved catheters, have pressure sensitive valve and no heparin needed when flushing.

My goodness!! I just lost my job. I was doing great. I just started to fell comfortable on the job and then a shift change cost me a job. I cannot believe I am terminated from my position. It was definitely wrongful termination. Job market is awful. It is difficult to find full-time position these days. I feel like a failure. As soon as I started the new shift I was terribly bullied and I was never given an orientation. The job was very hectic. As a supervisor you have to answer phone calls, do admissions, talk to MD's. Handle MD order's call RP etc. It was overwhelming. I am really devastated and do not know what to do. I am distress. I cannot eat, sleep. I am panicked that I cannot find a job. Any one experienced similar situation Help.

I took NCLEX on May 18 Tuesday. I Passed with 75 questions. I had a lot of "select all that apply" questions. I found out 48 hours later Thursday 20th. Good luck to you all. I prepared with Saunders review. :)

I know you want to hear good things about RACC but 50 % of the students flunk out of the program. Nursing 3 and Nursing 5 is the most difficult ones. Can you imagine to fail the Nursing 5 when you are too close to graduation. Anyone can tell you how stressful it is. Clinical can be nerve wrecking depending on your instructor. There was an instructor when I was student that she would threaten the students all the time. She would pull the student aside and tell them "I am going to report you to your school, I am going to fail you" Luckily she is no longer instructor there. She was fired for being terrible instructor. Another thing I would not recommend Reading hospital for clinical either. Saint Josef would be better choice. If you really have no other choice then I wish you good luck and do not let any instructor get under your skin and keep quite if you want to survive.

I would not recommend RACC RN program to anyone. There are other schools to go why nerve wrecking RACC. Before it is too late just switch to another school. Students without medical background flunk no exceptions. It is pure hell a nightmare. It does not have to be that way but unfortunately it is.

Yes when you completed your first year ADN program you are eligible to sit for CNA test in PA you need application forms may be your school can provide them for you
