I have a 9 year old daughter who receives nursing care, I’m an RN as well mind you. Our daughter has a trach, LTV vent, straight cath twice a day, gtube, nebulizer, CPT vest, mist collar when sprinting, o2 with pulse oximetry monitors, AFOs, hip spli...

Community College may have continuing Ed classes that could help you gain skills. BTW I am very disappointed for you about your school’s utter lack of clinical preparation. You paid for an education that should have prepared you to hit the ground r...

I am staring this program in December and wondered if anyone had any advise, tips or experiences they wanted to share?

1 semester each Block. Semester is 4 monthsish. Unless you do the accelerated and then then are 8 weeks or so. If I remember correctly. It's been awhile now.

Well your ratio is acceptable... although at 9 1/2 lbs? No way would 2 oz in 10 hours be enough... do you mean 4.42lbs? Then yes that would be ok.

Do not be too hard on yourself... as you learn the patients and the meds you will get faster. The important thing is to get it right.I was an LPN in LTC and had 30 residents with two main med passes and 1 small med pass, along with the dinner meal to...

Depends on the size (weight) of the 5 week old. Is this a typical child, a premie, or micro premie? Was this for 24h or just the time you were there? How long was your shift?

Oh thank God I thought we had to do the whole thing by memory like we did first semester in Nursing School! LOL Ok so two weeks of a break between old job and new job and I will knock this out. Then I can move onto my last three classes Stats and Com...

I was going along like gangbusters in this program and loving it. Then LUT 1 (Communications) and the record yourself portion and write a script, followed by the C349 (Health Assessment) record yourself portion. The rest of it DONE.... why on earth a...

My computer is special... apparently it hasn't gotten that concept, because I do :-( My toys when I was a kid= dolls and things I could fabricate into syringes, bandages, and IV equipment. It took me awhile...

ok I will answer this... but first... how do you make paragraph spacing?

Depends on if you already have a job? If you do wait at least a year because you will need all of the brain power to learn everything you need to know to transition from student to actually being a working nurse.If not working, start taking classes r...

There is at this time a more than two year waiting period for the RN programs at the Community Colleges in Phoenix. After you complete the list of pre and co required courses you can apply to get on that list.Right now the market is saturated with Ne...

Congrats to you! I just accepted a position in a Cardiac Care Unit and am pretty excited and freaked out. My orientation starts Dec 8th.My career has progressed from LPN working LTC to Peds Homecare, then RN at an Urgent Care. Just goes to show that ...

youtube Conrad Fischer videos! awesome content for Nursing School cardiology exams! Taught for doctors trying to pass their boards but it was the exact content taught in my nursing school and I aced this section because of it.

I had to log out and then log back in and my scored showed up.

$20-26 depending on shifts... some maybe lower than others depending on where you work. I worked LTC and Homehealth and the least I made was $24 I did the LPN-RN program through the Community College in Phoenix. Now i am working on my RN-MSN online a...

Not really actually... if you are applying to a program in the traditional route an LPN will not help you because you'd be at a different level... but prior medical experience sometimes gives you a leg up in an application process from being a CNA......

My LPN gave me a huge leg up to getting into the RN program because they allow an advanced placement application and I did not have to sit and wait on a two year long waiting list... for example... our RN program was 4 Blocks... I was able to bypass ...

Not sure about the rate because that actually depends on the area.But in a Primary care office you will be doing a lot of preventative health, community outreach(mainly your patient base) and disease prevention.Not to mention, lots of script refills ...

5 night shifts in a row is very hard and you are not lazy or anything for not wanting to do this. It's not a natural shift and not everyone can actually physically do it. Infact it makes some people physically sick. There are always other shifts and ...

Story where I work and it was right before me... Nurse Manager was being fired and walked out of the building... as she was leaving she lunged for a nurse sitting at the nurses station and started choking her. No one was sure why it happened, but she...

You don't have to do it if you have an RN it won't come off the main screen until after your semester starts

So far I have completed 12 CUs, so technically the required semester in 30 days. I am in the RN to MSN program and had a few extra General Eds to completed as well. Mostly they were not hard, just tedious. I have completed: Applications in US and W...

I work fulltime and have a 8 month old and 4 year old and started on 9/2/14... I have managed to finish 9CUs and it's only the 22nd.I like it ALOT... course I still hate Biochem!
