  1. NNP program reputations?

    I'm currently considering NNP programs. I'm interested in University of South Alabama and University of Alabama at Birmingham. These are both online programs but are close enough to my home for me to...
  2. University of South Alabama NNP program

  3. I'm considering attending USA's online NNP program. I've searched allnurses and found a few threads about USA's online FNP program. Most students didn't have great things to say. I'm just wondering...
  4. University of South Alabama NNP program

    Thanks BlessedX3. I sent you a message to get the email. I had another more general question.... about the tuition. I had trouble making sense of the price list. Is the online tuition the regular...
  5. Agonal breathing

    For the record this is what I said: I don't see how that can be taken as "just do cpr". However, I'm sorry if it was taken that way. Maybe I should have said in a pre-hospital, on the street, by...

  7. What would you do?

  8. What is wrong with these people?

    I too live in a very small town (though I work in a large town---long drive --sigh). However I did at one point work in the small town (teacher then--- before nursing school---- EVERYONE talks about...
  9. So what would you guys do?

    Maybe you should see if you can shadow each before you make the decision. The LPNs I have worked with did the same work pretty much as the RNs (with a few exceptions like IV care) just for a lot less...
  10. Agonal breathing

    Isn't this why in an emergency you can do cpr with just chest
  11. I posted in another thread

    Two people I know that moved right after graduation took nclex where they moved TO. But neither state was Colorado. Maybe call the Colorado BON? A lot may also depend on your job

  13. How does your unit handle daylight savings time?

    I have always been told that it is ILLEGAL not to pay hourly employees for the extra hour. Not just nurses any hourly
  14. Posting pictures to facebook

    Families take pictures of everything. I mean EVERYTHING! They also want to keep everything including bloody blankets ("that touched my baby!"). I'm sure Mom wanted the pictures posted if this woman...

    You mean a NURSE took these pictures of
  16. New nurse cross-training in 6 different OB areas??

    O Yep. If you find yourself in a situation that costs you your licence then you won't have ANY job. By the way I would figure any cross training to a Level III NICU would be to take care of "feeder...
  17. Patients and the race card

    If a patient accuses you of racism you just ask yourself if you are treating that patient any different than you would someone of another race. If in your heart you know that you are not being racist...
  18. Just like Pig-Pen from Charlie Brown

    Doesn't help at work but I have found that bathing with baking soda helps get rid of any smell when I get home. You can put it in your bath water and even wash your hair with it. You can also add it...
  19. What the heck is going on?!

    Seriously, how many nurses don't know the difference between Type I and Type II??????? This is the second time under one
  20. What the heck is going on?!

    If this is a smallish town or city it may be a case of parents talking...... Ex: Little Susie is thirsty all the time......My friend at work said her nephew was thirsty all the time and he just got...
  21. older babies in level 3

    Yes! What would we do without movies? Of course when you come home with Sponge Bob Square Pants voice ringing in your head it is much worse than even hearing the alarms at home! Mom picked out Sponge...
  22. Cleaning protocol in nicu

    It really makes me mad when I get a baby and there is poop or blood all over the counter or incubator/warmer. But what makes me the most mad are those milk splatters inside the incubator! What a great...
  23. Pregnancy and CMV patients

    The mrsa isolation surely helped you because you were extra careful. I work in the NICU and we don't have any special precautions for possible cmv positive infants. Just gloves. Our pregnant nurses do...
  24. Home entryway

    I leave my shoes in my utility room. ALL my shoes not just my work shoes. Who knows what we step in at the store or parking lot. It might be worse than work!
  25. So..is it true what they say?

    Once you begin to practice these things that seem "over your head" now will be the very things that will pop.into your head when you are trying to figure out what is going on with your patient....
