    That is wonderful to hear, I am looking at this program now and was looking for feedback. I wouyld appreciate more if anyone has done the RN-BSN on-line.

  3. are you a grade conscious conscious student?

    litebrite replied to reign's topic in General Students

    YES, I must have an A too. I would have to say i am anal about it as well. I want a high GPA and A's. I work hard and learn to earn them. it was great to see the A's on the website where they post...

  4. charge nurse duties?

    litebrite replied to shannonRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    When I was charge nurse on 3-11, I had the same patient load as everyone else, if not more (usually 8-12 but had as many as 17 a few times). I would be expected to take a difficult or extra patient....

  5. Not enough time to finish my Chemistry test!

    litebrite replied to gordi24's topic in General Students

  8. Aspirating with IV pushes.

    litebrite replied to kimmicoobug's topic in General Students

    I was never taught to aspirate either. Like others have said, you can have a great site but get no blood return. So it's really not a good indicator of a patent site. It seems like an extra step...

  9. have you ever "written up" yourself in an incident report?

    litebrite replied to l.rae's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have and other nurses have asked me why I did it. I would write them up so I should write myself up. They are supposed to be blame free. The mistake I made didn't harm a patient though. I...

  10. Independent/distance learning

    litebrite replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am glad they started this forum too. I was wondering if people really did well and enjoyed the on-line classes. I have heard of the UOP and Excelsior. I was looking at MCP Hahnemann which is run...
