Venofer
I'm an acute nurse I always give venofer or any other iron infusion in the last hour. My rational for doing so is if they get sick and demand to terminate treatment at least they completed most of the treatment for clearance and fluid removal

making myself more marketable BLS vs ACLS
You need to be bls (basic CPR certified) to do acls. Most places will pay for it for you. Concentrate on getting a job first!

Kaplan NCLEX-RN "strategies,practice and review book 2011-2012" cd practice test 59%
Kaplan was a JOKE a waste of money....my school forced us to all take the kaplan course....My test was 2 select all that apply for every multiple choice....I passed first try and had 86 questions....But I thought Kaplan was no help, what was good was paying attention in school. All Kaplan did was hold up my school from sending my info to my State BON and then I had to wait longer for an authorization to test.....I say save your money, pay attention in school....I only had one question from Kaplan and it was the easiest question on the whole test....not that the test was easy....NOT A FAN OF KAPLAN.....

Aria Health School of Nursing - Jan 11'
i was at holy redeemer and we walked in and walked out...Since that semester is psych, OB and peds there is not enough time anymore.... but some people in my class that were at Einstein did get to spend 1 day in the NICU.....Probably not what you wanted to hear.....But on the flip side many schools wanted to take the specialties out of clinical, Aria decided to keep them by packing them all into one semester. Basically take what you can get type thing

Problems with straight cath on a male pt
why push up farther if its coming out and then stopping???? How much does he weigh???? because urine should really be figured out by body weight not by ml/hour...maybe that's all he needs to make if he is very thin, and if he is not drinking or replacing fluids that may be all that is there.....

Aria Health School of Nursing - Jan 11'

Is this in our scope of practice?
in my nursing school we learned nail care in fundamentals, use a file and the wood stick like Brian Ruff CNA has stated, as well as NEVER use a clipper. PLUS don't do diabetics. But does your nurse manager want this documented each day??? That is crazy, is this LTC or acute care? I could see maybe in LTC and on a weekly basis maybe but everyday, how fast does the NM think someones nails are growing???
