  1. What rhythms do I need to know for ACLS class

    Jimmah555 replied to Orion81RN's topic in General Nursing

    You just have to know the major rhythms. The blocks and stuff aren't really covered so much. If you want a good example of what you should know, go to the pre-course test. You have to complete it...

  2. Have you ever cried when a Pt died

    Jimmah555 replied to Topaz7's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I've never cried in front of a patient or family/visitors, but I was a Pediatric Hospice Home-Care CNA for a while, and I broke down in my car many, many times. I'm great in a crisis or other...

    Jimmah555 replied to Twinkle toez's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Drawstring is a MUST! I started the program when they still said no drawstring, but I got them anyway. Nobody ever checked, and I'm about to start 4th semester. Get pants and a top that have POCKETS!...

  5. Drug Guide

    Jimmah555 posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hey everyone. I was talking with a 3rd semester CSN RN student and he said that the Mosby drug guide sucks. He recommended the 2009 Prentice Hall drug guide instead because it helps you do the drug...

  7. CSN Spring 2012 question

    Jimmah555 replied to michellegookin's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hmm. I wonder why the names were edited. Is there some rule saying we're not allowed to use professor names? If not, they are ----, -----, ------. If so, they will be edited again and you can send me...

  9. Anyone going to CSN this semester?

    Jimmah555 replied to Kchaffin's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Another tip: COM 215 is a lot easier than COM 101 in my opinion. No speeches, just a group assignment. Good luck!

  10. Drug Guide

    Jimmah555 replied to Jimmah555's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yeah I got the Davis, the Mosby, and the Pearson drug guides along with the Mosby Distionary and Taber Dictionary. I have a total of 15 books now. Can't wait to lug them all around for group study...

  13. CNA jobs in Las Vegas

    Jimmah555 replied to Optimom's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The CNA market is really unfortunate here. I have been a CNA for about 18 months. It's absolutely a "who you know" kind of situation when it comes to acute care and hospital jobs. I currently have 2...

  14. Drug Guide

    Jimmah555 replied to Jimmah555's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I had some money left on that book grant, so I used it with the two drug guides, and I also got the Taber's Dictionary. Someone recommended it, and it's basically free with the grant, so I said why...

  18. CSN Spring 2011 RN Program

    Jimmah555 replied to Cupcake89121's topic in Nevada Nursing

    From the research I've done, pretty much everyone is going with the Littmann Classic II SE. I bought it and it's awesome. SO much better than the cheap Prestige Medical steth I use to do vitals as a...

    Jimmah555 replied to Cupcake89121's topic in Nevada Nursing

  22. CSN Spring 2011 RN Program

    Jimmah555 replied to Cupcake89121's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Switblad - It shouldn't keep you out of the program if you get a CXR and it comes back OK. Many people I know from places in Africa have positive TSTs and they have to get CXRs, which works out better...

    Jimmah555 replied to Jimmah555's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Just an FYI for everyone, the ADN patches have heat-activated adhesive on the back. This means they are iron-on. Use a medium setting when applying or you will burn the material. I ironed them on, and...

  25. CSN Men's Shoes

    Jimmah555 replied to Jimmah555's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm familiar with Zappos. They rock, but I'm very weary of shoes that I can't try on. I ended up finding these at the old Belz Mall on the south strip: The search for completely white shoes is over....
