All of our fresh CABG's , IABP and CRRT patient's are 1:1 regardless. Other than that both of the units I work in ICU and CVICU our ratio is 2:1

CVU would be a great experience.....they deal with alot of s/p CABG ect and you would get really familiar with cardiac drugs......can't say exactly what your working experience would be like as I don't work there specifically....I do know that critic...

I know they are going through some huge changes on CVU right now.....new management ect

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! Things have been crazy lately I just finished up my first term with frontier!!! As for you questions, yes I am working while in the bridge year....right now I work full time at one hospital and PRN at another....

I can't comment on MCCG as I've never worked there. I recently took a job at Coliseum as a transfer from another HCA facility and I can honestly say I love it there! What departments are you looking at? That makes a difference!

Hey there! I am in my first quarter of the ADN-MSN/FNP program at frontier. So far I really love the program! If you have any questions just let me know :-) Kel

Most of the sonographers at the hospital I work at are male and ultrasounds are done equally on male and female patients given their diagnosis. The most common ultrasounds we see are abdominal, renal, carotid, dopplers to r/o dvt and echocardiograms.

You must work for an HCA facility:wink2: .....I personally usually do not get the flu shot but will be this year, no way I'm wearing a mask for 6 months or more!

Our hopsital has all private rooms as well. It's nice because most are large enough to be semi-private so if there is a caregiver staying we have plenty of room for a rollaway bed and still have room to get around!

here is the formula we use.... (4-albumin)X0.8+CA++= true CA++ From my understanding it is a rough estimate

It took several days for my aplication to be posted to the website. The only thing that showed as complete was the payment up until the day I was licensed! I did call on several occasions and it really depends on who answers the call as to how helpfu...

My application took about 5 weeks to go through approval. I too was worried about when the board was meeting as I had been told that it would have to go before the BON for review.......that wasn't the case, It doesn't have to go through full board re...

Ok here is my dilema...... I been working in a hospital ran acute RDU for right at a year now, I actually kind of fell into the position because I needed more hours. A little background.....I have worked in the same hospital my entire nursing career....

Actually LPNs who were enrolled before July 1,2008 can be licensed without any stipulations. LPN's enrolling after July 1,2008 must complete 350 precepted hours, Paramedics enrolled must complete 750 precepted hours. It looks like the biggest stipula...

Sounds pretty standard to me....is that a FT position? I don't live in ATL about 3 hours south and I make $28 + diff PRN, granted our cost of living is a little lower here.

Yay! I can now finally sign RN behind my name at work:D I guess all considering the wait wasn't horrible but 5 weeks seems like forever when you impatient!

This has just gotten totally insane! I can't believe they still haven't granted you licensure!
