RN in 10!

I'm interested! What is the name of the Facebook page? I'll try to find it. I am actually working four 10 hour shifts per week with one day off but I'm hoping this is doable!

I don't know anyone personally who has gone through this program. I completed my BSN through UTA with essentially the same 5 or 10 week format. It was fast paced but easily doable while working full time. The FNP program will be much more intensive b...

Hi Branden...I haven't selected a degree plan yet. I received a phone call from Kim Kephart who is my enrollment advisor and she said I needed to call my academic advisor to request my degree plan. I will only be able to take one class at a time sinc...

Nene1488...any word yet?

Yes! I like the idea of forming a support group, Facebook page and anything else that will help! I received an email this evening from the degree plan evaluator stating she received my acceptance confirmation and will be sending me the degree plan sh...

I received an acceptance letter via email on Jan 29. I didn't see it until today because it looked like junk mail and I didn't pay attention to it! Nene 1488...check your email carefully. You may have received something! Best of luck!

I applied in September...when did y'all apply?

I applied in September for the January start date. I was wait listed for consideration for the February start date. I was told we would hear something about two weeks before the start date. Good luck to you.

Angella, I applied for the January start date but haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully soon 😀

I should clarify my earlier posting. We always ensure the patient's IVAD/PICC is patent and has a good blood return prior to hanging the chemo. If the patient is receiving several IV premeds and chemo drugs, as long as the solutions are compatible,...

In our clinic, we don't always follow each drug with a saline flush. But, there are some drugs that you do need to flush the line well before administering the next drug. Vectibix is one drug that comes to mind. Saline flushes and heparin flushes ...

Hi everyone, I hope I am posting to the right forum but if not...please point me in the right direction! I still consider myself a novice nurse. I graduated in December of 2009 and have been working for a hospital that is part of a large health ...

Thank you for your advice. I struggle with finding a way to learn the more difficult concepts (F & E, cardiac) but I'm trying! Thanks again!

Hello all - I'm still kind of new to allnurses.com but am in my 3rd semester of nursing school. I have to create a care plan for a new mom with PIH; her uric acid was elevated but her protein and albumin were actually below normal. She also lost 12...

Daytonite, Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I know, this patient was very interesting. Here's her story: Four days postpartum she began to have severe headaches and went to her doctor. Her blood pressure was 180/100 and the doctor dete...

thank you for the reply daytonite! yes, the mom did have pitting edema in both lower extremites, as well as some facial edema. she didn't n & v or dyspnea though. your diagnoses make much more sense to me. but, here is one question i shou...

Thank you Daytonite for the reply! I may be in the minority but I enjoy writing care plans, I just need to improve in gathering the abnormal data during my assessments. I have not posted to this forum before (I don't know why - I'll be graduating i...

I am curious about interventions and rationales for when writing care plans. Most resources I use have a rationale for each intervention and we are usually required to reference where we got the intervention/rationale from. As I've gotten further...

Hi - I just found this thread on externships and was happy to find someone in Houston with experience in this area. I will be in my last year of nursing school next year and want to apply for an externship but am having a hard time finding which hos...

I'm a first semester student who just passed my Skills II practicum. We sign a confidentiality agreement agreeing not to discuss the skill we were tested over. Apparently, there were multiple violations of the confidentiality code and we were asked...

No worries :nuke: You gave great advise - I need to focus on being a successful nursing student and being sucked into classroom drama isn't going to help. Thanks again!

Thank you for the moral support! I'm going to focus on studying for finals, review the practicum info and move forward. Thanks again! :wink2:
