I figured if I got this as my Nurse car, they would have less room to put logos!

It's sad that your CNO would want to take this sort of action and now had set precedence that any med errors in the future will more than likely go unreported and not only creates poor working relationship between management and nurses but also creates unsafe environment for the patients. These things MUST be reported for safety measures and to learn from these mistakes. Who here hasn't had a medication error. I as management pulled the wrong medication for a nurse to give one day and the nurse who was more diligent than I caught the error. I still had to report it to myself and then escalate it to the DON as they are my next supervisor in the chain of command. I'm sorry but it seems to me as if the CON at your facility is trying to make a name for herself and sadly with these actions that name is going to be mud!

I know this is an older post but hopefully if you are still considering the program this might help you out! I took the Health Assessment class online and it simply consisted of doing a video recorded head to toe of a patient while describing the landmarks, sounds, general head to toe assessment. I filmed myself assessing my wife and then edited the video later and got an A. No need for "embarrassing" area assessments, they assume you know that I guess! Either way decent class and not to labor intensive, but certainly not a phone it in class either...hope this helps!

I wish you all the best of luck getting into this college! It is an AMAZING Nursing School that is very well respected in the community for teaching outstanding nurses!
