1. HELP! Social question-over the line?

   quetepye replied to jlove1821's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Wow, this is a tough one. I'm a student nurse and have seen a few issues like this come up already. They puzzle me since there are so many sides, plus there is no unanimous standard. They don't...

2. Diff b/w PICC and Central Line

   quetepye replied to angelique777's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

   Interesting. I didn't have a central line until I woke up from my liver transplant - the line was just there. But they found that it was too far in after a CXR so they reinserted it and did another...

3. Diff b/w PICC and Central Line

   quetepye replied to angelique777's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

   Bump. My question is, why would you choose a central line over a PICC line with all the risks? Plus, I had a transplant and had a central line myself and after seeing how invasive and annoying it...

4. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

   quetepye replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Not at all! For me, nothing held a candle to physiological chemistry, and once in nursing school, general nursing of adults is a ton of info in a small m amount of time! I guess it all depends what...

5. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

   quetepye replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

   They always introduce themselves by first names, and I've never heard a clinical instructor be called

6. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

   quetepye replied to quetepye's topic in Advanced Practice

   Yeah, this came up again in clinicals today. Our new clinical instructor is a MSN CNP and says she will be grandfathered in, but they're doing away with MSNs, going the "physical therapy" way and...

7. Snow- at what point do you call out?

   quetepye replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

   Good questions & answers. How about students and clinicals? I'm getting nervous for this coming semester - clinicals an hour away in Cleveland (lake effect!) and I'm absolutely terrified of...

8. Nurses in oncology having stillborns

   quetepye replied to quetepye's topic in Oncology

   How about if I'm not going to try to conceive for a while? My fiance and I want children - not for a few years, but definitely when it's the right time! Will working with chemo/oncology directly...

9. Nurses in oncology having stillborns

   quetepye posted a topic in Oncology

   Hi, I'm a student in a BSN-RN program and am really interested in oncology nursing. I decided to do my summer externship on an oncology inpatient unit until a friend of mine who works on an oncology...

10. RN student thinking about going for LPN...

    quetepye posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    ... this is my 5th year in a BSN-RN program and it's going so slowly. I have a lot of health problems that are getting in the way of the rest of my schooling so I'm thinking of transferring to a LPN...

11. Publishing in Nursing

    quetepye replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've done freelancing for Kaplan. Sometimes you'll just see a random "call for submissions" floating around nursing blogs/this site. Kaplan just told me they're done with the series, but who knows...

12. LPN - RN Schools in NE Ohio (Cleveland Area)...Please help =)

    quetepye replied to Mspie23's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in BSN-RN at Kent state - they have a few campuses and different options as well. I love it here! I know we have an LPN-BSN/RN option. :) Good

13. Anyone heard anything about no more masters degrees?

    quetepye replied to quetepye's topic in Advanced Practice

    Right now does EVERY APN (NP, CNS, etc.) degree consist of a MSN? Or is that something you get first? And what are the "four" advanced practice roles? Are they the only types of the APN/MSN/? you...

14. Nursing school.... is just a bunch of BUSY WORK?

    quetepye replied to SilenceDogood's topic in General Students

    Yes, definitely. I think mostly everything is okay, but there are definite assignments you have to wonder about. Right now I have a clinical instructor who is insane - she wants nearly 100 drug cards...

15. People are dropping like flies

    quetepye replied to 20mom10's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN-RN program, and we lost a TON of people in "pre-nursing" because they couldn't get through the 3 semesters of chemistry, the A&P, etc. We even lost a few in our "Intro to...
