  1. CCRN with tele experience?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to jennysong81's topic in MICU, SICU

    I think you have answered your own question. Tele=PCCN, ICU/ED/Cath Lab=CCRN. Without the experience you will have a very difficult time passing the exam. Good luck!

  2. HELP! Where can I have my ACLS training in Hawaii?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to alohanars18's topic in General Nursing

    Generally speaking, your facility should provide resources for ACLS certification to you. If that is not possible you can check with Pam West to arrange a class. Pam West, RN 98-1565 Hoomaike...

  3. CCRNs -CMC exam?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to *RN123ABC*'s topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Congrats! I know exactly how you feel, it was a very hard exam!

  4. Lidocaine for v-tach thru IV line?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to OldButCuteBSNStudent's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Just push it. Lidocaine is compatible with D5. Just flush after the push to get it in unless the IV is running wide open.

  5. Who Draws blood from a-lines??

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to bran1101's topic in MICU, SICU

    We allow our tech's to draw off our A-lines and central lines when they are equipped with the VAMP system. All of our tech's receive training and are re-certified annually on their use. We have had...

  6. Help I'm going to Riyadh.

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to male_nurse22's topic in Men in Nursing

    Regardless of how nice they may make it sound, I would seriously suggest you reconsider. That is my polite way of saying don't go. I spent two years living there (Saudi) and no money in the world...

  7. Question about Online RN-BSN progams in Hawaii

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to KarangRN's topic in General Nursing

    Check out Excelsior College. Lots of info for you in the Distance Learning forum in the Students section of this board. Good

  8. CMC Exam HELP!

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to fromtheheartRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Okay, well I just home from taking the CMC exam and thought I would pass on a few things while they are still fresh in my mind. The exam is broken up into 4 areas. Cardiology patient problems, other...

  9. CCRNs -CMC exam?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to *RN123ABC*'s topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    　 Hi, I am using the Med-Ed right now. Seems good but would like the opportunity for more practice questions. Not a lot of resources for the CMC/CSC exams out there....

  10. CCRNs -CMC exam?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to *RN123ABC*'s topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Good question! Anyone have an opinion?

  11. Are you using PreSep catheters as part of your sepsis protocol?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to geekgolightly's topic in MICU, SICU

    They are part of our sepsis bundle. We like them!

  12. Anyone else studying for CCRN exam?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to deeDawntee's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I will echo much of what has been already said. I used the materials that have worked well for others. The Gasparis DVD's where helpful. I was fortunate enough to attend her CCRN Review class a few...

  13. Anyone Lived Overseas for extended period of Time?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to Maslenp's topic in General Nursing

    As has already been stated, a lot will depend on what country you are currently residing in. If you have no luck with military bases, I would suggest you consider private medical evacuation...

  14. Has anyone taken the ecco course from AACN?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to Eirene's topic in General Nursing

    ECCO has lots of great info. The PAC section is very good. It can be dry and boring at times but IMHO it is worth the effort, especially for the new ICU RN.

  15. Can anyone other than nurses draw from lines?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to Jetskisgurl's topic in General Nursing

    Our CCT's are allowed to draw blood from our central lines & a-lines as long as the pt. has a VAMP in place.

  16. anyone worked in saudi ?

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to time4meRN's topic in International Nursing

    I spent two years there. There is NO way I would ever go back. I highly recommend that you think very hard and long before you decide to go.

  17. Aline insertion

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to kurlykay's topic in General Nursing

    In my ICU we start our own a-lines and my experience is that when the patient is on significant amounts of vasopressors (esp. Levo) it becomes much harder to get a line due to vasoconstriction and the...

  18. When will they change the name???

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to hand2cut's topic in Men in Nursing

    If the name is enough of a reason for you not to become a nurse than nursing is not for you.

  19. Legit LPN-RN Online programs???

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to sconoli's topic in Online Distance Learning

    As I am sure others will tell you, stay far away from TCN. Go directly to Excelsior College and skip the middlemen.

  20. Talk story on all kine nursing in da islands

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to malamarn06's topic in General Nursing

    I believe Straub has a 2 day ACLS provider class in March. It may already be full and of course, preference will be given to HPH employees. Can't hurt to give them (Nursing Ed) a call and see.

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to dayshiftnurse's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Try this: http://www.pacep.org/ Registration is free and there is LOTS of info!

  22. online programs for lpn to rn feedback

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to dmhawaii2007's topic in General Nursing

    It most certainly is not a program for everyone. You must be HIGHLY motivated and able to learn in a non-traditional method. It is up to you to arrange clinical time in any areas you feel you need...

  23. online programs for lpn to rn feedback

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to dmhawaii2007's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, Oahu.

  24. online programs for lpn to rn feedback

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to dmhawaii2007's topic in General Nursing

    This is not a bad idea but probably difficult to get. I personally wouldn't really worry about it as there are several EC grads working here that I know of personally.

    CC-RN-EMTP replied to dmhawaii2007's topic in General Nursing

    Hawaii BON accepts EC without any problems. Realize when you call the BON you are getting a career gov't employee with minimal motivation to assist you.
