3. Does your ICU have CNA's?

   econ2nursing replied to Rose44's topic in Critical

   I work in a 12 bed CCU and we usually have a CNA scheduled, but rarely get to use them. They are usually pulled to sit with 1:1's somewhere else in the hospital. Our CNA's take temps, empty foleys, answer call lights, turns, and do baths. It is ve...

   econ2nursing replied to econ2nursing's topic in Post Graduate

   Good Luck sdj232RN!! I am looking at class 136 which is FB in March. I am taking the pre-reqs now, so can't complete my app until I have those grades. I have also heard about them closing the class for too many applicants, which is partly why I...

5. Frontier- how far out did you apply?

   econ2nursing posted a topic in Post Graduate

   I am working on my application for Frontier and wondered if applying to a later term would increase my chances of getting in and NOT getting wait-listed. What term did you apply for and when did you send in your completed application? Any though...

   econ2nursing replied to myty23's topic in NCLEX

   I just completed the Hurst review last month. I don't graduate until December, but I learned SO much that has already helped me in Med-Surg2 this semester. I agree with the other posters-Marlene's voice sticks with you. Our instructor was also fab...

8. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

   econ2nursing replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

   Ok, apparently we are all in the same class, but I have a few more... 1. Please don't ask me what video, lecture, homework, etc we are supposed to have done for today. You have a schedule just like I do, read it! 2. Yes, they really do expect you to ...

9. Is there anything I can work on before starting NS?

   econ2nursing replied to missdixie023's topic in General Students

   As a first semester student, I'd say Pharmacology and anything Nursing Fundamentals especially- the Nursing Process. Everything comes down to the nursing process, if you don't know it/understand it, you will never pass the exams! I bought 2 fundame...

10. Got a flu shot - now my entire arm hurts

    econ2nursing replied to shoelace's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't believe how bad my arm hurt after the H1N1 shot. Like some of the other posters, had pain all the way down my arm to my fingertips, couldn't sleep on that arm, had trouble dressing b/c it hurt so bad to lift my arm. I have never had a p...

11. Anyone Else a Fan of Dr. OZ?

    econ2nursing replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I like him too. Ironically, I'm watching him right now - he's talking about the face transplant... very interesting! I, like previous posters, also like that he offers home remedies- I have been using vinegar and water since I have been on my own. ...

    econ2nursing replied to econ2nursing's topic in General Students

    rbytsdy- I didn't realize the hospital left everything as is either. Our cases were DOA's at the scene so they never went to the hospital for resuscitation. The there were 2 cases we were able to view and the first was really interesting because he...

    I'm new also and I start my nursing program in January and I can't wait. I am I guess what they consider someone starting over as I have a BA in Economics already. I am sure we will all be "seeing" each other again soon as we get started in our pr...

    Just wondering how many students here get the oppportunity to witness an autopsy? How did you feel about it? What was the worst part for you? What was the most exciting? Or, it you have not attended an autopsy, would you want to and why? I had th...
