  6. University of Phoenix- RN to BSN- Good Idea?

    BSN75 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in School, College Programs

    I wouldn't say it's a diploma mill; they don't just pass everyone. Quite a few people in my class didn't make it. We started with 40 some people and ended with 23. The program was very challenging!...

  7. University of Phoenix- RN to BSN- Good Idea?

    BSN75 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in School, College Programs

    I went to UOP for the LPN to BSN program. They call it online, but I had weekend classes quite often on campus, and occasionally they threw in some night classes. I thought it was a very good program....

  11. Question about your practice and disposal of urine cups

    BSN75 replied to darla09's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I work in Family Practice. We have a "dirty" sink where we dump all urines, then we throw all cups into the regular trash. It would be a big no-no for us to throw them in the bio-hazard bags since...

  12. what nursing school do/did you attend?

    BSN75 replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    University of Phoenix in Colorado. BSN- good program, but had a hard time finding clinical placement. Supposedly they've fixed that issue. Very expensive, but no waiting list. Overall a good...

  13. flu shot required

    BSN75 replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    Are you absolutely positive it's the flu? Did you have a positive culture? We have many patients who swear they have the flu, but then culture negative. So if you're not absolutely sure, I'd say the...

  14. 1st med error

    BSN75 replied to NurseGizmo's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I don't really see this as a med error. Yes it should have gone into the glut instead of delt, but I think the odds of this one time injection causing a problem with the muscle are very...

  15. flu shot required

    BSN75 replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    Why 2 shots for the seasonal influenza A? I 've not heard of that before, we just give one every year including this year. As far as I know 1 shot should last the entire flu season. But I guess things...

  16. Leech therapy

    BSN75 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I know this therapy can be very beneficial, but I just don't think I could do it. I just about have a heart attack if I pass a leech on the sidewalk,

  17. Should I stay or go?!?

    BSN75 replied to Spoiled1's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I think I would take the new job, but that's just my opinion. I've worked in hospital and in office, and I much prefer office. The money is less for sure, but we work no holidays, and much better...

  18. H1N1 will you be giving the vaccine?

    BSN75 replied to darla09's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    We will be giving H1N1 vaccines in our office if we can get it. We can only get it from the state, and they are trying to determine which offices it will go to first. I will probably get one, but I am...

  19. help with organizational skills

    BSN75 replied to pmksis's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I have been working in Family Practice for a long time, and know how hectic it can be sometimes. I try to do things in the following order: 1. Always make sure the doctor has a patient to see. 2....

  20. Need Some Help

    BSN75 replied to heyheyhey's topic in General Nursing

    Alot of nursing schools have an acclerated program if you already have a bachelors degree. I think school is only about a year long, but it is very fast paced. That might be an option if you can...

  21. Hospital vs. Office nursing?

    BSN75 replied to MerdalRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi MerdalRN. No offense, but your husband is crazy:coollook:...office nursing is never boring! Everyone always thinks that all we do all day is take blood pressures, but that is so not the case....

  22. Process for Pharmacy Refills from Dr's. Office

    BSN75 replied to Jolie's topic in General Nursing

    In my office the only reason we ever do it that way is to double check with the pharmacy to see when your last refill was and to make sure you aren't getting narcs from other docs as well. That's not...

  23. Perscription Drug Abuse

    BSN75 replied to Toquay's topic in Emergency

    "I think that it is a little much to ask everyone who gets a prescription for narcs to sign a contract! I can understand people who use narcotics routinely, but if I sprained my ankle and needed to...

  24. Perscription Drug Abuse

    BSN75 replied to Toquay's topic in Emergency

    I work in a physicians office and it seems that half the new patients we see are drug seekers. It's sometimes very hard to weed out the pts who truly have pain from the ones who just want drugs. Most...

  25. LPN to RN schools online???

    BSN75 replied to kerri2686's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm in Colorado and did the University of Phoenix program, which was mostly online but also some classroom time(usually on Sat and occasional evenings). They set up all clinicals. I wouldn't have...
