  1. Dress Code for nursing students?

    justjenny replied to NPTeacher's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I hope that you don't mind a student commenting on this issue. In my opinion, a dress code for classes/Lab that is not campus wide would be very unfair to the Nursing students and is sure to...

  2. What does BLS mean?

    justjenny replied to J Lynn's topic in General Nursing

    It is one step up from a basic CPR class. Usually can be done in one Saturday. Call local hospitals to find out when they are having their BLS classes. It was required for us before we started...

  3. What is an ACLS & a BCLS certification? Is it the CPR training...

    justjenny replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in General Nursing

    What you have is BLS. It is one step up from the basic CPR course and is designed for students and "medical professionals" I asked the RNs running my BLS class if it were possible for me to take the...

    justjenny replied to beccaleigh72's topic in General Students

  9. Medication Errors? How many are allowed?

    justjenny replied to TKD momma's topic in General Students

  14. Right thing? personal opinions needed.

    justjenny replied to ejm99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This sounds like a very sad situation, indeed. I don't think it is fair to "blame" anyone. The hospital obviously was not sensitive to her needs, and did not have protocols in place to care for a...
