    tyvin replied to poodloo28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my BSN program we had to do all ... bio, organic, inorganic. In the quarter system I was in it took 3 quarters. It all depends on what type of degree you're going for...BSN or ADN. BTW; chemistry...

    Discharged at the point of death.

    tyvin replied to DixieRedHead's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Pyridium onset?

    tyvin replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    Can you chart too much?

    tyvin replied to Herr_Krankenpfleger's topic in General Nursing

    Freedom of speech is great but when it's abused as it is in the case of the OWS people it's doing no one anygood. They are picketing the wrong place...anyone with a corpus callosum knows they should...

    ICD9 codes is a nursing duty?

    tyvin replied to superwoman27's topic in General Nursing

    A small psych facility I worked at had us put them in if we did admissions or on lab requisitions. I seems the lab companies were getting miffed due to not understanding the real reason for a draw due...

    Is a double major, BSN/BSW worth it?

    tyvin replied to caw100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go for it. If not you probably have enough credits for a minor but it would be nice and certainly more marketable if you had both as majors. As far as standing out ... of course you'll stand...
