The hospital I work at has Meditech...In my ICU we document Q2H and PRN. 3 head to toe assessments, 0800, 1200 and 1600. Q2H assessments which are focus assessments like IV sites, Neuro assessments, Skin, etc. are done at 1000, 1400 and 1800. Narrati...

I bought the notes on ICU nursing book, it is very helpful and very clear about what is being said.....doesn't read like a text book ....so it gets you out of that school book feeling....although I have to say being a new ICU nurse and actually being...

BSN and looking into a MSN or DNP......I would definitely recommend it if you plan on furthering your career and education! :grad:

All I can say is learn from the situation and be glad that it was not you. The persons involved did something totally unethical and yes they do deserve the repercussions of their actions. As terrible as they may be. To you, and your other classma...

If you don't have any previous experience in a hospital and don't know anyone who could help you out, I would recommend that you apply at the hospitals that you had clinical. Most places like that will remember you and might give you a chance. Good ...

I got my letter yesterday and I tested on the 11th of July. My friend says it takes about another week to send that letter off and for your lic. to show up on Illinois Board of Nursing Lic. lookup. Ugh....so over waiting.....I got a job waiting for...

Well I am currently a senior in my last semester of the program. I am currently enrolled in an intersession clinical for our leadership rotation. 2 full weeks of 645-1500 clinicals. I'm totally psyched!!! We have a project where we are to provide...

Thank you all for your input....It is very much appreciated. I like the idea of asking what interests the unit nurses, but our leadership clinical has us working on many different units, different positions (managers, supervisors, staff, etc.). We ...

As a Senior student I welcome you aboard. Please keep up the excitement and love for wanting to be a nurse. Sometimes, as rough as the ride will be, it's all you have to get you through. Make friends, learn new study habits, and read, read, read!!...

THey have approx. 150 or more applicants a year and they accept 40 students. Yes, you have to take teas test to get in.

: ) yay for you!

Great Job! :)

I'll be happy to answer those questions for you. 1. I pay approx. $4000, per semester, summer was about $1000. I'm a resident of Illinois, so I pay residential prices. I don't live on campus, most students don't. I live on the far north side (Ed...

I'm currently a student at CSU and in the Nursing Program. I think the program here is just as competitive, challenging, educational and deserving of it's certification. Just like any other University there are some exceptional professors that I ad...

AWWWWWWHHH : ) nursing's lil perks! lol.....

you give me motivation to be an ICU nurse right after graduation.....no one ever said it was going to be easy.......But we can do it! u rock!

good luck.....: )

Not so much for the single payer system. As much as I think the insurance companies aren't fair. I just think the government taking away a free market (bite by bite), is just horrible. Ideally I feel it would be wonderful if everyone could have s...

I think we all come into this profession looking and seeking different paths. And we are all lucky that we have so many avenues to choose from. I totally and fully respect you for the path that you have decided to take, because it is what you seek ...

I have to admit that they love it. I still talk to a group of friends who attend their program. They say it's hard, but they seem happy. The group of students become really close. I wish you the best of luck!

Chicago State....it's a wonderful program.....it is difficult like most programs.....I'm not sure that any nursing program is actually easy...but yes...I would recommend it....you get so much diversity.....so much insight to urban nursing and your ou...

screw truman...I had a 3.6 GPA and I didn't get in....when I applied they did it by lottery....some people I knew got in and had lower grades in their pre-reqs than I did.....but whatever...I'm in a BSN program now and will graduate only a year later...

I think it makes sense....plus the last 2 years of school are usually a lot more challenging than basic general ed. classes. My school only gives credit for transfer and your GPA is determined by the classes in the nursing program..... The honors ca...

I work at a small community hospital in Chicago that is slowly moving toward full computer documentation.....but the secretary should be the one doing so....and ofcourse the nurses can do it as well to help out......but I finished clinicals at one ho...

Personal opinion.....isn't getting married to someone about being with someone who supports you in what you do and how you choose to live your life. Statistics say marriages are not lasting very long anyway. So if she were smart she would keep her ...
