    UTVOL3 replied to Phyllis B's topic in Home Health

    UTVOL3 replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    UTVOL3 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I second Makesigns.com. They have live people to answer questions. They even helped me with ideas for improving the quality of photos I used. I suggest using their templates versus a dinosaur template...

  6. Attending school with client?

    UTVOL3 replied to UTVOL3's topic in Private Duty

    Thank you for the response! Did you pack your lunch? Since there isn't much to do when the child is doing school work, did you bring a book? This client is high school age. And apparently requires...

    UTVOL3 replied to BusiestBSN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Trying to respond to you on my laptop but it's not cooperating, BusiestBSN. Not sure if it will let me quote. But yes, great question. It is a religious school. There are assignments where the Bible...

  8. Staff Development

    UTVOL3 replied to BusiestBSN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    UTVOL3 replied to 42pines's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  14. Breast biopsies- steri-strips and blisters

    UTVOL3 posted a topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Anyone here work with a lot of breast biopsy patients? We have many patients for ultrasound or stereotactic breast biopsies. The techs use steri-strips to close the incision afterwords. Occasionally...

    UTVOL3 posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    UTVOL3 replied to UTVOL3's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    UTVOL3 replied to abbyrenalRN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

  25. Would you still become a NP or would you go the MD route?

    UTVOL3 replied to OrangeSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Have you taken many premed courses? If it was me, that would play a big role in the deciding. If you have and did well in them, why not finish them up before you graduate? Then you could keep your...
