Meant tips** not trips. Lol Hi. I am a new grad RN in the ICU. I have 4 years experience being a floating nurse tech in a large medical center and for my final semester did clinicals where I just got my new job. The first 3 days were amazing. Very helpful staff- already did more than I did all throughout nursing school. Had my first code and compressions. Hung blood. Insulin drip. It was awesome. Of course I was always being watched. :-). I am loving the environment and the challenges-- I couldn't be any happier! In one month I'll have ACLS and Tele. In May Ill have my BSN, so after that I'd like to become CCRN-- could anyone tell me about the course? What's it like? Any pointers? Is there any trick that you use in your mind to keep your labs straight... I can usually remember them, but it takes awhile... I have to remember what organ it deals with... Then ranges... What's high and low... And what can happen next-- what else can this effect/mean?... Is there a way to group some so that they make more sense? I plan to look through some things on days I'm off... But I'm always looking for a more efficient way of thinking/doing something. Love to hear any advice! Thanks

So, I am going to be a 3rd semester nursing student soon... And I have heard that OB at my school is EXTREMELY hard- (people who normally get A's are barely passing), and that the students must teach themselves by reading the book. I do NOT learn by just reading something, I need to see it visually... Does anyone know of any websites or study materials I could use to get a head start on learning OB (mother-baby) concepts? Besides ATI? Thanks!

Ok, so a little background I am going to an LPN school in Topeka where I have advanced standing... I went to a BSN program for a year where I had some EXTREME ISSUES with them, and ovbiously I'm not going there anymore...Ugh ANYWAYS- I live in Lawrence and I want to know what you guys think about some of the ADN programs around the KC area... I plan to get my ADN and continue working at KUMED where I'm currently at- and getting my BSN online through KU (Since they'll pay for some of it) and also because I'm probably done with most of it already... So, Good ADN schools Pros/Cons? The state board of nursing website is my friend- so I know some of the technical aspects But I want personal opinions and/or experience --Kelsey Also, does anyone know when KCKCC starts their ADNprogram? do they have both fall and spring entry?

I work at KUMC. Been here for over a year and couldn't imagine not working here! Great benefits! More money if you work: nights, weekends, and holidays. Plenty of room for advancement in your career and also the ability to 'test out' other units such as Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Surgical ICU, Peds, Transplant etc... there's so many different areas to work- and it is nationally ranked...Not to mention- they love their employees! In the past year I've gotten 2 $35 Price Chopper cards, an umbrella, 2 tshirts, a free massage, $25 target giftcard, 3 KU cups, Free meals, candy...haha and I know I've missed some things- just can't remember right now...

I would do option 2! You can work as an ADN RN and get your BSN online while youre working. And some hospitals or medical centers will pay for some of your tuition if you work part or full time while going to school...Thats what I'm planning on doing! --Kelsey

Hello, So, I absolutely LOVE working night shift... and for me to stay awake consists of sleeping well during the day and using caffiene and energy drinks to stay awake... What do YOU do to stay awake during night shift? --Kelsey
