Mother in Law had a cardiac arrest, stents and 1 month after that, a CABG. Has been 4 months since original incident. Was put back in hospital today after passing out. Details are difficult to get, but what they are saying is that the doctors thi...

ASICS, hands down.

Hello all. ED nurse with very little experience with post MI care. Family member recently suffered MI while in an ED. Revivied, flown out and treated in cath lab. I have some questions about what to expect recovery wise as well as the care. After...

Anyone have ideas on why it is taking them longer than 48 hours to show the results are available? Phone calls have only warranted a 'you will have to wait' response. Thoughts?

Just a question for the ICU nurses...........Our ED faxes reports to the floors, but calls report to ICU and CVU. When you are notified you are getting an admission, do you then have the ability to access the pt's records/labs etc in the computer sy...

Hi. New grad in ED for 6 months now. Getting the hang of the flow, paperwork, assessments etc. Now I'm looking for more education. I would like some referrals for reading material, websites etc that will offer more education about conditions/illn...

Hello everyone. I am searching for a sterling silver pendant to wear on my necklace. I was thinking of one that had some 'RN' significance. I have found several with the caduceus on it, but am not really taken with those. Just wondered if anyone else...

I have spent a lot of time using Google to search. Part of the problem is that I do not recognize many of the companies with results, the other problem is that I haven't found what makes me happy yet. Just looking for suggestions to sites/companies...

Asics gels.

My strong suggestion is to avoid the Shox (see the post I started about it earlier this week.) They have no cushion in the heels. They were awful to stand in for 12 hours. I now have Asics and so far, so good. Seems like everyone has an opinion a...

I finished school in May and started my new job in ED in Aug. 3 twelve hour shifts per week. Started with a pair of Asics that I had had for awhile. By hour 8 or so, the heels of my feet are painful. I stand with all my weight on my heels I guess...

The 'fluids' were the exact reason I originally chose the Shox. Now, after having sore feet, I'm willing to take the risk of fabric:) Thanks everyone for the replies. Keep them coming. bg

Does anyone have experience with the Asics?

I agree with the answer of B. The turkey will contain some fat, I do not believe rice has any. My 2 cents.

Marklena, Are you interested in doing some home health type work for about 10 days within 20 minutes of Kirksville? Would be 1st weekk in Aug. Basically 'checking' on an elderly person in their home while their family is on vacation. If you are no...

My classmate tested 8:00 am Wed. Still no results available. Thanks for the response. This is torture.

I was wondering that to. Does every state have a site for this? So far out of my class I know of 10 not passing out of a 40 person class. That sounds very high to me. Thoughts?

Hi. I was wondering about checking Pearsonvue vs CTS. Pearsonvue still shows my exam results 'not available', but after I read this, I checked CTS and it shows pass. I can't decide to be relieved or not. What do you think? If it is my result, wh...

I took 75 yesterday and am feeling ill as well. I feel awful about the questions and my answers. I got a LOT of SATA, some priority, lots of meds that I was not familiar with. One math calc. I have been on Pearsonvue all day, but still no results...

Took my test this afternoon. I still feel like throwing up. Have no idea what my results will be. I got no med calc, no OB, 2 MH and the rest were all Med Surg, priority etc. I got a lot of SATA. Shut off at 75. I hope by this time tomorrow I c...

Hello. I am testing tomorrow in Missouri. Can someone tell me how I find my results and how soon they should be available. We use Pearsonvue and Continental Testing Services. (I didn't see a link on their web pages) I think we have an option to p...

Thank you. I don't see that option yet, but I guess it is because I haven't taken it yet:) bg

I have read quite a few responses about the test being heavy on infection control. Is there a specific area you could recommend focusing on for this content area? Thanks.

Any updated thoughts on the VATI? I'm using it now. Don't have anything else to compare it to. Using my Saunders book as well and the CD. Don't feel very good about how it is going, but don't test until July. Anyone who completed it taken the NC...

Hi. Newbie here with a final coming up. I had a couple of questions about things that I can not narrow down on my own with books, notes etc. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be very appreciative. Here goes..... 1. Difference...
