Has anyone one the waitlist heard anything ? Would anyone who was accepted be able to let me know when your secondary enrollment deposit is or was due ? I was placed on the waitlist and told positions may open in May

I know for other schools they look at the GRE, but I went to an info session for Jefferson over the summer and I asked about it and they said they don’t look at it. So it might help you elsewhere, but if you’re thinking of this school in particular I...

Hello all, I work in a medical ICU in a primarily cardiac hospital. It is rare we see patients in HHNK but it does happen. Most recently, a patient was admitted at 4 am and not initiated on fluids until day shift arrived at 7 am. Of course there is ...

This is why I was wondering if a protocol worked in other institutions, because of those kinds of nuances. I'll just be doing some reeducating. Thanks ?

I applied in early November, I received an interview Dec 9th but I was out of the country so I deferred it to the next interview date which is this Monday, hope that doesn't hurt me. When I scheduled my interview there were more dates in January so...

“Undetectable.” Guy’s ph was 6.5 and blood sugar was 11. He somehow managed to survive another 12 hours. Only 23 years old ?

Did anyone upload “additional documents”? Not really sure what kind of thing schools are looking for there

My boyfriend is a cardiologist who frequently takes call in the ICU. He just doesn’t schedule himself for call on days he has his daughter. If they try to schedule him, he just says no. His mom and I both help out a lot as well. I think once you hav...

We usually give blood while the patient is on dialysis. That may have helped. Or a dose of lasix or bumex immediately following transfusion if she is still making urine. Hard to say based on this info.

The infectious disease doctor was rounding on a 87 year old patient who had been started by one of the fellows on antibiotics for possible gonorrhea. The ID doc writes in his progress note: "at this time I will discontinue antibiotics as it is unlike...

I have the littman master cardiology. worth every penny

i guess technically the orthopedic doc would be allowed, but i hope he wouldn't do it without consulting cardiology.

At my hospital there's an order whether the patient needs to be transported on tele or not. There's a protocol in place they must be transported on tele if they're on a drip like amio, lido, cardizem, primacor, etc. Usually those are the only patie...

I'm an RN at a small hospital on a tele unit. As an RN the doctors trust me to read an EKG and alert them for anything alarming but I couldn't sign it off. We have a few PAs and NPs and their scope of practice is very narrow. They can't sign off on ...

Hi all, looking for a little advice. I graduated with my BSN in May 2014 and I have been at my first job on a cardiac step-down unit since November 2014. I want to further my education, and my end-goal is to work as an NP in a hospital with a focus...

1. If a patient exhibits say a 10 beat run or less of vtach overnight and already has labs for the morning, should I wake up the cardiologist or primary doctor if they don't have a cardiology consult to let them know? if they don't have labs, shou...

I found that I obtained strategy tools better by doing Hurst review than by doing Kaplan, but I found Kaplan's questions closer to the NCLEX questions. If you get the Hurst online course you get access to all different videos that are broken down by...

I took the CAT exam! It moves up and down the way the actual NCLEX does like how if you get one right it will give you a harder one and if you get that one wrong it will give you an easier one. By way of questions I'd say study just like you did fo...

Hi! So i'm a high school junior and it's time for me to start looking at colleges and know what I want to do. Ultimately, I want to be a neonatal nurse practitioner. So I've been trying to research it and I'm really confused. I was wondering if anyon...

theres a stickie on this already if you click here: https://allnurses.com/nicu-nursing-forum/day-life-nicu-309385.html

I understand why it would be worrying that I wrote that I want to be an NNP! ...what do they do? But that isn't exactly how I meant it. I knew a general of what an NNP does, but I was looking for more of a day in the life of kind thing. I did find...

Thankyou! But, why would you choose to get a degree then go to nursing school when you could just flat out get a nursing degree? Just getting your nursing degree would be faster right? Does doing it the longer route do anything better for you, or ...
