thanks, i actually just looked at the review i did and it was a ccrn and pccn exam cram with Debbie Tuggle. i am going to take the pccn just did a review with Debbie Tuggle for 2 days, she was an excellent speaker out of Kentucky,

Is CCRN the same as ACCN?

so what happened............ wow, i could never handle what you handled.........med error for 5 days and dig no less, pretty bad,,,night shift should weigh patients before they go to bed and you should never have to handle that workload...maybe getti...

Hi Rod, I just started 13 weeks of weekends so I probably can't. Also, thinking of selling RV lock stock and barrel for what I owe..only used 6 times. We bought it because my husband was going to be transferred to tampa and instead was laid off...so...

Well here is my experience. I had a patient who was quite ill on a cardiac floor and one night he really felt like he was not going to get discharged. He was scared and asked me to pray with him. I am Jewish, he is Christian. All I did was hold his ...

I picked D after rereading the question, first would of been A but then thinking like an nclex question I ended up with D thinking that an infant/toddler would not of understood humor but might (small might) understand a more real (reality) train of ...

hi i have just applied at an agency in south florida, and was wondering about the test you have to take before you get placed..i work tele/imcu now but we have great monitor techs and a lower patient ratio..i am confident, been nursing over 2 years a...

U need to switch your thinking into the "I am not to old" Thinking you might be to old at thirty...doesn't look like you have had any medical jobs in your job quest so be sure but its the best graduated at 51,

Reading the above post, I guess the difference is that in my hospital you would NEVER have to float to ICU if you didn't work in ICU..as soon as a friend of mine transferred to HSU (heart surgical unit), when necessary she floated to ICU and if it wa...

Cardiac step down and IMCU, 18 beds, 3:1 IMCU, and 4:1 tele, rarely 5:1, nights monitor tech,2 PCA's till 2300 and one PCA 2300-0700, we do vitals when we assess and pca's do 2400 vitals and accuchecks. we again do vitals when we do meds at 0500.

I agree, work cardiac floor and can have IMCU patients but would of been ok with that patient especially with other experienced RN's around to answer any questions....would of been a great learning experience...we have to have ACLS on our floor too.

I agree, I went to a cardiac step down unit after I passed my boards, I love cardiac but don't like ventilator (ICU), so IMCU was a perfect choice for me. Also a 3:1 ratio for IMCU and 4:1 for tele..so lucky to be where I am!

check out the travel nurse forum, great info

We titrate cardizem but our ratio is 4:1 maximum, rarely 5:1, full time monitor tech and charge RN with no patients..and only 18 patients on the unit maximum..we are cardiac step down/IMCU..

hi would love your powerpoint, going to a review at memorial in feb.. for the pccn, thank you so much robin
