I was just trying to find this information myself :) I found this website helpful: http://www.cna-aiic.ca/CNA/nursing/rnexam/faq/default_e.aspx as it explains about the Canadian Prep guide and a readiness test. Hope you find it useful too. Good luck!!

Thanks. Yes, I too need the 36" inseam. . . :wink2:

Thanks to all of you! I am going to try and order some online; I finally found a few sites that carry pants with long inseam. One of them is Lydia's which is advertised here on Allnurses! Thanks again!

Does anyone know where to order long length scrub pants? Most places say 32" is long. . . that is not long! Looking for at very min. 34" but preferably 35", yes, for LONG legs. :)

I personally believe we learn more from those who are willing to share their experiences. . . (other than experiencing it first hand; and even if we have lived with similar events, we learn how others with the same experience have lived it). It is sad that your "boss" found it necessary to reprimand you instead of commending you on sharing your experiences, as it is not always an easy thing to do . . . As long as your "sharing" was within the context of the learning atmosphere, I can't understand why, from what you have mentioned, this would be a problem. To me, nursing is about sharing our experiences; it is not always easy when it hits close to home, but we are never finished teaching and learning from each other :wink2: Life is definitely a journey and we don't always follow the same route! WE all have different life experiences; some more than others. Keep your chin up and knowing within yourself that you have done no wrong is the biggest commendation.

too funny :) . . . it is kind of interesting :chuckle

Hi, Does anyone have any comments about working in a plastic surgery office or in hospital? It looks fascinating, but . . . what are the pros and cons?

Hi, Does anyone know of a helpful website to study microbiology? . . . one with pics of microscopic bacterial slides would be most helpful!!

vomit, yes, and especially big gobs of stretchy, slimy sputum....makes my stomach turn just thinking of it...:barf01:not sure I'll ever get used to that one!!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I was not agreeing with what was being done (not changing the patches at the same time), but had nothing to back it up....I appreciate the link, and I will have a look.....:nuke:

Is there benefit for pts., i.e. better pain control, if fentanyl patches are changed on alternate days? I.e. An order for fentanyl patches 125 mcg. to be changed q72h. So there would be two different dosage of patches, a 50 and a 75. I have seen in some cases the 50 patch will be changed on a different day then the 75 (on purpose), with the rationale of better pain control. Is this true? Would this be a med. error, as the dosage is "125mcg. to be changed q72h"? I cannot find any literature on alternating the different dosage of patches to better benefit the pt., and I continue to see it being done with palliative patients. All thoughts and expertise are welcome!!
