Good luck to you! I received an email from the cordinator, our deadline to complete the application process is March 1st, the email stated that I will be contacted in April.

Haven't. Deadline is March 1st, so I am not bothered.

I am still in the process of uploading my documentations. Good thing, my transcript is not required since I graduated from the master's program at this same university 2 years. I appreciate the experiences everyone share in the various programs. I ...

What webinars, is this Duke - specific or for any DNP program?

I too have applied to the DNP program at UT for fall 2018. I have also applied for government loans. The school said they are working on approving nurse faculty loan for DNP students. They will know very soon if approved or not. What have you exp...

If you've taken this 3 hours long, 150 items and $500 worth of test, please respond with pointers on how to be successful. Since May, I have finished going through the two review books, attended a live prep, reviewed a webinar on CNE prep by Billing...

Awesome!! I am scheduled to take my test at an H&R Block Tax Prep too. I will definitely get ear plugs, thank you.

Quite encouraging, thank you. Any strategies you'd recommend in tackling the questions, topics to focus on, possible environmental distractions and how to ward off any such interferances?

Will you infuse through a port-a-cath that has no blood return?

So sorry to hear about Brian Short. I pray that his family and friends find a way to grieve appropriately and be able to overcome this emotional trauma.

Hi Melissa, The kit to administer Boniva comes with a butterfly and a tubing attached. First prime the tubing with the med to clear the air. You may request from the suppliers extra tubing in case you miss the vein. Yes pull back to make sure you are...

Does any of you infusion nurses have any idea or interventions to make a port-a-cath draw blood? I have a newly revised port that has not drawn blood twice since after the revision but infuses and flushes with no discomfort. I have tried coughing, ...

Yes, I will run back to ICU or look for another infusion room job that do not operate in an unsafe manner. I do remicade, rituxan, actemra, steroids, orencia among other meds for the rheumatology dept of my clinic. I have maximum 13 patients a day ...

Thank you so much!!!! I do IV infusions on rheumatology patients. 2 to 3 of them have port-a-cath. For 21/2yrs since I took up this job, one of these Patient's port brings back only pink tinged blood and I've been able to draw blood only 2 to 3 times...

"I used to do that until I was told that it was against P&P unless the physician had specifically ordered IVF. Silly, I know, but be sure to check your facility's P&P on that." I work as an infusion nurse at a clinic, I noticed every IV tubin...

Does any one of you smart nurses administer Orencia, Remacade,Rituxan and Bonivia IV? How do you administer this according to MD's orders. I am looking forward to working at an outpatient clinic where that is all they do.

I have just recieved a call from the imaging centre at the clinic asking to access a power port for CT. Has any of you done this, how and what was the outcome? Can contrast for CT scan be infused through a port a cath ( power or broviac)?

Document this incidence as already stated and give it to the charge nurse that is lassie faire. You have to cover your ass. We swab a patient's nostrils to test for MRSA if there is a splash into your nasl mucosa, even a drop can grow to a colony. ...

I have decided to go for the nurse practitioner program or nurse educator at UT. Can I work as a nurse educator if I train to be a NP? I am currently an infusion RN and intend to keep my job full time, cause I love it! Maintain good family relat...

Mainly academic, but either one can be gratifying I think.

Go for it, only after you have recieved your MSW, that way you have both options of a career. My husband is an MSW, the pay is not good compared to nursing but it's got perks. He runs his own case management business, funded mostly with federal an...

I also need expert advice: I am preparing for GRE to enter into state university for Masters in nursing education or adult nurse practioner. I am torn at which of these disciplines will be best suitable for me. I will work full time or part time t...

read this one somewhere on allnurses, and it really helps me remember. hypo= hippo "With hypo tonic solutions, there is more water than solutes. To maintain a balance, water leaves the vascular system and goes into the cells. Your cells swell like f...

As a student we were allowed to make copies of chart without patient information, shredding it as we leave clinical area. Anything to do with the chart and information in it photocopied sounds "spooky" to me. Why did she take a picture of the info...
