    How much do you remember from A&P?

    I actually understand and remember more than I did when I took A&P a decade ago. Regarding five bone tissues, the answer is much easier than you think about it: blood vessels, periosteum, nerves,...

    Working in Wyoming

    I cannot confirm or deny that I have ever worked as a nurse in Sheridan. What do you want to know? It is a small town that has seen a fair amount of Californication over the past few years. The...

    New Grad Nurse Positions in El Paso

    UMC is completing a new peads/womans health expansion to their hospital. You would be wise to learn Spanish if you do not already speak this language. Otherwise, El Paso nursing will be more difficult...

    Falsely Accused!

    Shut up and lawyer up. If you are serious, we will no longer see you post on this
  10. Actually us old farts ( five or so years and beyond ) can be either so complacent or so stuck on old and incorrect ways, we are just as if not more dangerous than a new
  11. I hunt on occasion; however, I will utilise as much of the meat as possible. Even the scraps do not go to waste as they can go into a good chile. The meat does cut down on the food bills during the...
  12. Yeah, it's a tough thing. Fly

    Has Feminism Abandoned Nurses?

    One of these days we will actually look at one and other as human beings and let the absurd concept of male versus female dominance die a horrible death. The only question is will it occur before or...
  16. If these people are not keen enough to associate the rolling eyes "sarcasm" smilie after the statement in question, they have more to worry about than confusing the specifics of entry level RN...
  17. All I get is BSN's are more likely to peruse MSN level education. Unfortunately, the MSN and the newer DNP are not the end all in education IMHO. All bloviating aside, I think many would agree that...
  18. I think it has been answered; you can expect more gen ed courses and possibly additional nursing theory and clinical courses (management, research, & public health) in a BSN
  19. There exist more threads than I care to mention on this topic. A two year degree is an associates degree. A four year degree is a bachelors degree. It does not matter how long it takes, if you...

    Are nurses smarter than resident physicians?

    You must also understand utilising romazicon is playing Russian roulette with the patient. You give it to reverse an overdose to a person who has dependance, tolerance, and/or addiction pathology,...

    HELP: anaphylactic attack

    Being that open airway is an option, we must assume a closed airway. Likely, opening the airway will be the first

    HELP: anaphylactic attack

    1) Open airway 2) Give Epi: IM not SubQ, give IM or even IV if needed 3) Start IV, see above Putting a nonrebreather on somebody who cannot ventilate is an exercise in futility, therefore it's not in...

    Can I handle transport nursing?

    I totally disagree with people who say it's not possible. Using the right medicatios such as dissolving Zofran tablets, it may be possible to fly. I cannot even get In a swing without promptly...
