Hi All, Does anyone know of a dog daycare in the Raleigh/Durham area that could accommodate a nurse's 7a-7p schedule? I have had no luck so far and I would hate to leave them alone that long! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Maggie

I am currently in Nursing school. Last week I had my first isolation patient. I was very confused as to how to record the vital signs without contaminating anything. The charts are outside the patient's room, and BP, HR, O2, Weight, and temp is just too much for me to keep in my head without the risk of making a mistake. When I asked my instructer she told me to write the vitals on my glove. This just didn't make sense to me because I had to wear the glove out of the room and PPE should be taken off before exiting the patient's room. Anyway, I was just hoping some experienced nurses might have some advice on the best way to do this without putting others at risk! Thanks!

Great thread! I am graduating from a BSN program next May. My school allows direct entry into the FNP program with a minimum 3.0 GPA, although I would like to look at other schools. The schools in my area all require at least one year work experience as an RN. Which programs do not require experience? Thanks!
