    TazziRN replied to vnsam's topic in General Nursing

    Requirements for taking the RN NCLEX.

    TazziRN replied to cathouse46's topic in General Nursing

    Each state has different requirements, but I think that they all require graduation from a program. And frankly, the thought of someone attempting to take the boards without finishing a program makes...

    Medication Schemas

    TazziRN replied to ballybricken's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Les. It was a lifesaver for one pt's wife, she was going nuts trying to figure out what meds were taken when after he had his stroke. When he stroked again she took it to the ER with her and...

    TazziRN replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    TazziRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess I'm a barbarian, then, and so is my husband. When I was pregnant we decided that if the baby was a boy he would be circ'd. My doc said my insurance didn't cover it. I said "We'll pay." He said...
