I am a little freaked out right now. I had my first pt ever and I am a freshman in the nursing program. We were put on telemetry and I hear that usually only sr's get telemetry. But since they are trying to keep instructors on same units everytime an...

I am a first yr nursing student and I am in my first semester of clinical. I do everything I am told and treat the pts well and take care of them. I am in a telemetry unit. It is hard and overwhelming sometimes but I do what I am supposed to. I thoug...

I know how to get all the info I need, that is not my problem. I am having trouble getting the info onto a 5x8" index card by printing it from my computer. I have a drug book and I also have the Mosby drug cards 2005 so all the info is here but when ...

I have a friend who was just hired by Tidewell. She loves it already and she just finished her 2 weeks of training in Sarasota. She says the benefits are out of this world and cost nearly nothing. She is a CNA til she gets her business associates deg...

I hear CTC is great. I was going to take a test there recently to get my LPN and then wait on the RN list for MCC but I had one issue with CTC. Since the LPN is not a degree program but a certificate, I would have to take A&PI and II and all the ...

venice!! Yay! That is very close!!

Hi FL-Nurse. I think you may be referring to the MCC in Bradenton. That one is about a little more than an hour from North Port. But, the MCC in Venice is only about 15-20 minutes depending on where in North Port you live. Sarasota is at least 45 mi...

We moved to North Port from NH almost 2 years ago. I miss NH a lot but this is a nice quiet town. My husband built our house here and we bouth the land just before the prices went through the roof. now, the prices are way down and like someone else s...

OK, I have read a lot about this but I have a question for anyone who knows anything about this. From what I read... a. you should have (and it is required for hire) at least 1 semester of clinical under your belt if you are an RN student (or LPN stu...

well, I did it. I applied for a PCA position at a hospital. I even wrote the lady in charge whose e-mail i saw on the website with the on line application. I sent her my resume and I also filled out the application. I do not have my license but I tol...

This thread may be old but I was looking up this topic and felt I needed to respond. Yes, trach care is the airway and I do think that a trained PCT could take care of it if the qualifications I have have seem for PCT's are true. While in nursing sc...

Thanks. This actually happened about 3 years ago. I guess the thread was bumped when I responded with a question to someone. hehe. I did not make excuses for the incident. I understand that the student is always wrong. I just accepted ti and moved on...

I used to have one when I was on allnurses a couple years ago. I have recently rejoined the ranks of allnurses (long story why i left to begin with. Maybe another time...) and now my avatar is gone and I can't figure out how to put a new one up. I ch...

I never paid for a subscription either and I had an avatar at one time. hmmm.

All I know about it is what I have read on the threads here. I personally can't stand the sight of sputum and mucus and phlem. The only reason I was looking into it is because I have all me pre reqs done and all my gen eds done for the nursing progra...

Oh, thank you. I guess it has been changed since I was last on here. :)

I feel your pain. :) :paw:

OK, I know it has been a couple years since I posted this but I thought I would let everyone know what I ended up doing my paper and speech on. ready......*drum roll** It was forensic nursing. I found it very interesting and fun to do. I had lots of...

Class. I am in a class called Communications and the Lierature of Science and Technology. I need to do a research paper in my field of nursing that has to do with science and technology. Please help me with ideas. I have to start this research asap ...
