  1. Single-stay unit

    MissChloe posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I am a senior student, and I applied for a post-grad residency in a cardiac single-stay unit. From what I know/understand about it, it sounds very interesting, but I'd love to hear more about what a...

  2. Single-stay unit

    MissChloe replied to MissChloe's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    The unit I've applied for isn't the same as a short-stay unit. It's a unit that takes cardiac patients from admission/immediately post-procedure through to discharge, rather than moving them from...

  3. Nurse Residency at DHMC in New Hampshire

    MissChloe replied to Yolanda_M's topic in General Nursing

    No information, but I'm thinking of applying for a summer or fall session so I'm interested in any responses! Anyone have any insight about the Lebanon area? I've never

  4. Pulmonary Shunt/Dead-space Ventilation

    MissChloe replied to MissChloe's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you! I have passed these answers/resources along to the others in our class and they are very

  5. Pulmonary Shunt/Dead-space Ventilation

    MissChloe posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am in my last semester, taking high acuity. A few of us are having a hard time getting our brains around V/Q mismatch, shunts, and dead-space ventilation. Does anyone have any tried-and-true...

  6. Accelerated vs. Traditional Program

    MissChloe replied to theivleague's topic in General Students

    babeinboots, I'm really curious how that works. Do you do a couple semesters of generals, then start the accelerated program? Otherwise I'm not sure how you could do a full baccalaureate degree in...

  7. Accelerated vs. Traditional Program

    MissChloe replied to theivleague's topic in General Students

    I'm a second-degree student in a traditional program. I was able to transfer in all my general courses except for a couple, so I did 1 year part time and 2 years full time for the BSN. I'm finishing...

  8. compensation in your state

    MissChloe replied to bjy26's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm in Maine, I've heard starting pay for new BSNs ranging from $22-25/hr. Cost of living isn't bad, especially if you live outside of Portland. Around where I live a 3 bedroom apartment starts at...

  9. African American Hair Problems in Nursing

    MissChloe replied to desertstar6's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I absolutely agree. As long as it's not pink, standing in sharpened points off your head, or dirty/smelly/unkempt, it should make no difference at

  10. How common are grants/scholarships?

    MissChloe replied to Summers3's topic in General Students

    I'm another second degree student. I wasn't able to get any financial assistance until this year because I had to report my parents' income, but this year, I was able to get several scholarships....

  11. Can any of you please answer the following questions it is for a school project

    MissChloe replied to shennellsmith123's topic in General Students

    I'm really hoping that the OP meant a figurative picture of what it's like to have your degree, not a literal photo of a diploma. I

  12. Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    MissChloe replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Never mind the fact that there are only 4,000 people in Fort Kent and any movie theater (or other public place) she goes to is very unlikely to be

  13. Postpartum DVT nursing interventions

    MissChloe posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've been given the following question: A patient is 3 days postoperative from a cesarean birth. She has tenderness, localized heat, and redness of the left leg. She is afebrile. As a result of...

  14. Postpartum DVT nursing interventions

    MissChloe replied to MissChloe's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you guys! I think I'm probably going to go with D, but 650mg isn't outside the adult dosage for aspirin, and the question does say she has tenderness. I'm just thinking that's more for...

  15. Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    MissChloe replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Exactly this. I live in Maine and people are being VERY nasty towards her. It makes me sad that people don't understand. I think if I were her I'd probably just do the 21 days to get people off my...

  16. Have you ever heard of Keesler Cream and what's in it?

    MissChloe replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Students

    I'm guessing the name is local, we use something like that in a couple places I've worked but we call it something else (which of course I can't remember at the moment,

  17. "Bad" tests--what to do?

    MissChloe posted a topic in General Students

    I'm in my second-to-last semester of a BSN program at a state university. I've maintained a good GPA and do well on tests and assignments. We have to have a 77 test average in every nursing course...

  18. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    MissChloe replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Wow, I'm surprised at all these negative responses. I do knit in class and so do at least two others in my class (~30 people in my cohort). Nobody has ever said anything to me and the professors and...

  19. Shoulder surgeries and recovery time

    MissChloe posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm looking at a possible SLAP tear, which will most likely need to be surgically corrected. I'm in my 2nd to last semester of nursing school now. Has anyone had this surgery done while in school?...

  20. Shoulder surgeries and recovery time

    MissChloe replied to MissChloe's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I know, this will be arthroscopic. It sounds like clinical wouldn't have been possible for you? I'm really not sure how I'm going to make this

  21. Where to request practicum/internship?

    MissChloe posted a topic in General Students

    Our school does a precepted practicum program (like an internship) in the last semester and it's time to put in our requests. We get to pick top two hospital choices and then top two unit requests...

  22. Where to request practicum/internship?

    MissChloe replied to MissChloe's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your input! I hadn't thought of it that way! I was thinking med/surg would be good to work on foundation skills but it sounds like the ICU might be a good place to do that as

  23. Sock color and school req.

    MissChloe replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Navy or black socks would work in my opinion if you have darker colored uniform pants--blue, burgundy, black, etc. NOT with white pants and white shoes both,

  24. Feeling like an idiot during sims lab... Normal?

    MissChloe replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    Don't be too hard on yourself--you've only had two! This is why we're students and we do simulations before they set us out on real patients. I'm still a student too but after my first whole...

  25. When Does Life Begin? The Scientific Definition of an Abortifacient ...

    MissChloe replied to cncyana's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think you're missing the point. Nobody is arguing that what the FDA has said is untrue. Those forms of birth control may prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. That's a fact. What...
