celclt

Any out here- would love to hear about your experience. I am a new grad ACNP with ICU experience.

think about the conditions that caused her to code and what happens during a code that with out proper perfusion, ventilation and oxygenation (you may have heard this as the goals of ACLS). If she had a poorly functioning valve why would she most likely have coded? How would that have contributed to the state that she was more than likely already in before she came to the hospital? Hope this helps to look at the big picture-- you are doing great in asking questions!!

I am stating Vanderbilt's program next week- it has a ecelent reputation-and is online and requires travel to Nashville several times a semester for block classes- I am really excited!!

yes, keep it positive and you WILL do great!!! did you guys do ATI? I used a saunders + their calendar to organize + LaCharity's Prioritization and Delegation- really felt prepared! I am very excited- I am a RN now so next yr is prespecialty-little nervous about work+kids+ classes/workload- do you know if we have each class for the entire semester or are some only done during blocks? I'm coming for Aug block w another RN from NC, where should we stay?

lol lol- aww vandy IS flexible- fo my RN program, your spot was lost if you did ot turn n initial titers,backround check info,ect- now yearly tb and cpr they were mre flexible-- your county health dept is aso a good resource for immunizations meredith! mammac-how's it going, when do you sit for NCLEX?

FNP at Chapel Hill and Western Carolina are not entirely online, class in on campus for a good portion; UAB, Univ So.AL, Vanderbilt are close-ish options :)

14.9 with no vit k til 2nd day of admission, complaining of a backache "I think my kidney stones are back", no-that would be the big, fat retroperitoneal bleed! :/

def just get all the titers done, so much easier-you will prob need record of lastTetatus or tdap and the Hep B series tho (+ new tb)-hth!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTT!! SO EXCITED for you- knew it would happen -see you in August! Are you moving to Nashville?

I am bridging w/o BSN it is considered graduate for bridge+ MSN work- hth! I got a combo of stafford sub, unsub and PLUS grad - it was offfered in excess of tuition (living expenses,ect )

I am a new grad and that sounds VERY skeery- BAD BAD idea!
