    almostthere08 replied to lflyew's topic in General Nursing

  9. Can a nursing student use the word "code"?

    almostthere08 replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    Your nursing instructor is clueless. She has obviously been away from the bedside too long. Have not doubt that you did the right thing. As the saying goes, "There's nursing school, then there's real...

  10. Can a nursing student use the word "code"?

    almostthere08 replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    I think you definitley did the right thing, and you have every right to initiate a code blue. I believe it's better to be safe than sorry in calling a code, and that anyone is obligated to do so if...

    almostthere08 replied to bridgfor428's topic in MICU, SICU

    During the day we have a secretary who refuses to do ANY form of patient care, including bringing a cup of ice to a pt. At night we have no one but us lil ol nurses to fend for ourselves. Our backs...

  16. "Accepted" with only a year of experience?

    almostthere08 replied to brazuca's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got in with only one year SICU experience. I have a 3.6 gpa and 1140 GRE. It's all about what you make of that year, in my opinion. Some people may have 3-4 years in which they coasted through with...
