  1. MMR vaccination vs. titer?

    Unknown member posted a topic in General Students

    Hey Everyone, I was just curious... what is the difference between an MMR vaccine and an MMR titer? I received both MMR vaccines when I was younger, but my school said this is not sufficient for...

  2. Unique/Uncommon Nursing Careers

    Unknown member posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi All! I'd like some information regarding careers for nurses that are not your typical bedside, manager, DON, OR, acute care, doctors office, anywhere in the hopsital, LTC, etc. I'm looking for...

  3. Can i do just 75 questions for 6 hours?

    Unknown member replied to ineverseeu's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This sounds like a bad idea. They are very strict about the NCLEX and if any activity seems odd, they review tapes/recordings/each question and how you answered it etc. I think it'd spark a red flag...

  4. Time Frame for Med Administration

    Unknown member posted a topic in Patient Medications

    Hi, In school, we learned that meds can be given within an hour of the designated time frame. In other words, if a med is due at 2100, it can be given between 2030-2130. Here on AN, I've noticed...

  5. Time Frame for Med Administration

    Unknown member replied to Unknown member's topic in Patient Medications

    Why take the time to comment if you're just going to be rude? Very unnecessary. Please close this thread, as I didn't come here to be spoken down to, rather seeking advice from my soon-to-be fellow...

    Unknown member replied to serenie222's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similiar test question in the past. But the question specifically stated that the COPD pt was terminally ill and was SOB on 2L. Options were: sit with the pt, turn O2 to 3-4L, get a fan, and I...

  9. Local Community Hospital

    Unknown member replied to Unknown member's topic in General Nursing

    The DON referred to it as a local community hospital and they do on their website as well. I accepted the job today. I read the threads on here about how bad HCA facilities are....alot of them focused...

    Unknown member replied to Unknown member's topic in General Nursing

    Update: I GOT THE JOB!! (pending I pass the NCLEX of course) This was the first job I applied to and only had ONE interview. I live in a difficult area for new grads too. Thanks again to everyone who...

    So..I was just looking on facebook and saw some really cute pictures of 3 Patriots players with a bunch of sick children at Children's Hospitals. The kids looked so happy, I almost cried! But then I...

    Unknown member replied to sle1191's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm graduating in May and give all medications on my own including injections such as Lovenox and Insulin, except for IV meds (I flush without supervision but can't hang meds or push). I go to the med...

  16. It only takes a few extra seconds....

    Unknown member replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously nursing care comes first as the PP explained.... but I agree with the OP that nursing is most definitely related to customer service. In fact, I just recently went on an interview where the...

  17. I have no work experience what so ever... what do i write under work experience?

    Unknown member replied to Nurseadam's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you are already a registered nurse and never worked as a CNA but held a license, I wouldn't put it on your resume. Did you work part-time in high school ANYWHERE? If not, I'd leave that section out...

    Unknown member replied to simply_commenting's topic in General Nursing

    Michelle, First semester, every student does 6 weeks of long term care. I happened to be placed at the VA on their community living center unit. It's in a hospital but is a long term setting. Others...

  20. What is the answer to this question!?

    Unknown member replied to panduhlove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Commonsense, I'd stick with 30 ml/hr for NCLEX. I'm not sure if our test questions are made up by the professor or not. I just now since first semester, on ANY test we've had, 30 ml/hr was never...

  21. What is the answer to this question!?

    Unknown member replied to panduhlove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd go with A as well. Even though it's only been two hours, the patient still should have voided more than "a little". It used to be 30ml/hr minimum, now it's moving more towards 50 ml/hr...one...

  22. Teaching plan HELP!!??

    Unknown member replied to septembernurse14's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How about self care deficit? The patient will have to wear a cast and will have to adapt at home to perform ADLs. A teaching plan explaining some adaptations may be a good

  23. I hate nursing exams

    Unknown member replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    I, too, hate nursing exams. Often times I think "well the nurse would assess ALL of these, not just one" but the question is asking what would you assess FIRST. It's extremely frustrating but I've...

  24. The Negative Effects of Foam/Alcohol Hand Sanitzer

    Unknown member replied to *4!#6's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me like you're using sanitizer way too much. I'm still a student... we were taught to only use 3-4x per shift. Hand washing for all other times. Maybe doing this will be less aggressive...

    Hi! I will be graduating with my ASN in May. I have to agree that cost is a HUGE factor... I left UMass Lowell to go to a community college because it was far too expensive. However, I want to give...
