    Ace1Rnelp replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

  3. legal to dispense meds....

    Ace1Rnelp replied to Mandylou's topic in General Nursing

  4. Finding a mentor

    Ace1Rnelp replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

  5. Telemetry versus Med/Surg floor for beginners?

    Ace1Rnelp replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi, Just to throw in my 5 cents. There's not a lot of difference between telemetry and med/surg, at least in the acute care hospital I worked for. Telemetry in fact is also med/surg with the addition...

    Ace1Rnelp replied to SunRose7's topic in General Nursing

  19. Curious About Your Views On Having Teacher's Assistant In The Clinical Setting

    Ace1Rnelp replied to Ace1Rnelp's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  25. MedSurg vs. other fields

    Ace1Rnelp replied to burn&trauma's topic in General Students

    Hi, I get this question all the time (being clinical instructor). I'd say 6 mos to a year in med/surg is a good way to brush up on all the skills that you have learned from school (IV starts, NGs,...
