   JCCCNurseGrrl replied to aneres1390's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

   It just depends. I work in a cardiothoracic surgical ICU - CTS ICU - but we also take vascular patients, though we have not always done this. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with calling and asking...

2. CNA Training Prepare You For Nursing School?

   JCCCNurseGrrl replied to gkbroaro's topic in General Students

   It certainly won't hurt! CNAs do the skills that nurses designate to them - and in nursing school, you'll be doing a lot of those skills yourself. You WILL use this knowledge and experience you gain...

   JCCCNurseGrrl replied to JCCCNurseGrrl's topic in General Nursing

7. Anyone know when JCCC will send letters for Fall '07 ADN???

   JCCCNurseGrrl replied to momma&nurse2B's topic in General Nursing

    JCCCNurseGrrl replied to vintin2nm's topic in General Nursing

    PS - we have lots of "older" students. Wherever you are, there you are. If it's something you believe in and really want to do, put a couple years into it - you'll love nursing school, trust

11. Brown Mackie?

    JCCCNurseGrrl replied to vintin2nm's topic in General Nursing

    JCCCNurseGrrl replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Students

    Where I work there are several code teams. They rotate by week, I believe - so they only respond every third week. We have 2-3 doctors, and several nurses, from all over the hospital. They carry a...
