Thank you so much scottaprn. Your response has been very helpful in getting my thinking.

Hello, I am in need of help with starting my thesis. I'm a first semester in the Family NP school and we're starting the topic of our thesis (not the exact topic yet but narrowing down a few ideas with the topic of our choice). I'm highly interested in Palliative/Hospice Care. Our thesis has to be built around Primary Care Practice. I am having a hard time bridging the gap between how Palliative/Hospice care in relation to Primary Care and how to put that into a thesis topic I can write about. I am not looking for direct answers but rather ideas that I can get some light from. I've done a few search and the only thing I can find much of in relation to Primary care is Palliative/Hopsice Care referall from primary care providers. Insights? Suggestions?? Please let me know what you think. Thank you!

Hello ALL. I just recently started on a NICU unit and had just a BRIEF overview on the 20% rule of medication administration. Do all NICU units use this rule???? I am very confused as I am trying to work on some problems right now. All the diluting and etc!! If the syringe size is 1 mL, minimum accuracy is 0.2 mL. Will someone please try to explain this to me or be kind enough to share an example?

Congrats KickPushCoast! What's your secret (if you have any -- Tips, etc)?? Thanks and congrats again!

Thank you so much for the reply! Once every week or every other is not bad at all. What I would really like to know and forgot to ask is, how is your work schedule like, in regards to the workload of the BSN-DNP program? Are you working full time/part time? I would like to know so I can have an idea of a work-school schedule. Thank you!

That is great! I'm glad you didn't actually listen to your nurse manager on this one. Would you be able to tell me some of your stats (GPA, etc) and are you doing this program through a regional campus or are you actually in SF? Thanks!

Hello! Just wondering how this all worked out for you?? Would you be able to fill me in? Thanks!

how do you know you were rejected from icn?

Yes, I did.

Took mine June 21st. From CA and no results yet Plus been trying to get a hold of BRN through phone but no answer.

Are you from CA? Referring to the Pearson Vue trick, I did do it and it gave me the good pop up but not confident until my name is posted on BRN website :-) Good luck to you, hope everything works out in the end for you!

Nope, no results yet. I took mine the June 21st. A lot of the people who took it before I did have already found out their results! A classmate who took hers the same day I took mine found out she is licensed TODAY. There's only one classmate who took his before mine and is still waiting too. I don't know what's going on at the BRN in Sacramento or how they are handling transcripts, etc. IDK but I just want to know my official results! My school sent out my transcripts on June 12th so by now they should have received it...really don't know what the hold up is and I'm having a hard time contacting them. I'm gonna wait it out until another week and if no results yet, I'm gonna make sure I get into contact with them.

Thanks for the info :-) Good luck!

May I ask what unit you applied for? And even though she told you that your application has been forwarded to the hiring manager, did your application status actually change online? Thanks! :-)

I would not worry about any pharm meds. I would recommend to understand side effects of psych meds though. I had a lot of those (akinesia, tardive dyskinesia, parkinsonism, etc). Know to differentiate those.
