  2. Quick question... IV protonix

    zilla704 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I called our pharmacy, and I just got off the phone with Wyeth, and both pharmacists confirmed that Protonix has not been tested nor FDA approved for

  5. 18 SATA?

    zilla704 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What the heck? and just as many or more priority questions, back to back to back. It cut off at 75, and I feel horrible. I just feel like I probably screwed up on all the SATA, that it quickly made...

  6. "Community" Insulin

    zilla704 posted a topic in General Nursing

    How do you guys feel about sharing insulin for all your patients? What is your hospital's policy? I'm just a student, and it is the unforgiveable sin for us to give insulin that doesn't have the...

  11. Clinical supervision by instructors

    zilla704 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    I haven't had a problem with them disappearing at all. It does seem though (I imagine this happens everywhere) that if they aren't around they are usually busy with needy students. Our ratio is...

    zilla704 replied to CAPA2008's topic in General Nursing

  13. What if men dominated the Nursing profession?

    zilla704 replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, just wanted to clarify. You typed LVN/LPN/ASN/RN. I agree with everything Gila in that I don't think gender would change a thing. EMS is similar in that EMT-B, EMT-D, EMT-AI, and EMT-P are...

    zilla704 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I literally have been sick since Dec. I'll get well and then a few days later it's on again. It's all viral I'm assuming as I'm passing on the "gift" to everyone in my house. I started clinicals...
