  1. Giving insulin late patient request

    sarsett replied to daniela095's topic in General Nursing

    Right??

  2. Am I being too pushy??

    sarsett replied to RoseyRN22's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You did the right think IMO by sending a thank you message for the interview. Based on the response I would leave it at that, since any further communication will probably only hurt your chances. You...

  3. How to approach this situation from management standpoint?

    sarsett replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't know if you are present when the oncoming nurse is there for her wound care, but if you are able to, maybe observe the patient when he is getting his dressing changed so that you can see first...

  4. drug calculation

    sarsett replied to priya0504's topic in General Nursing

    As others have already confirmed the 1.6ml is correct. The 2nd part of the question is a little confusing and I'm not sure what they are specifically looking for...is it how many doses in 24 hours or...

  5. CDCR/ CA State prison schedule

    sarsett replied to Beatricenurse's topic in Correctional

    You can, but you run the risk of getting mandated on any of your 8 hour shifts, ie you can do 16 hours swap one day and be mandated to do another 16 hour shift the next. There are creative ways to...

  6. why is the corrections facility hiring so much?

    sarsett replied to luckie's topic in Correctional

    Like everyone else has mentioned: stress, mandates, inmate manipulation, and it's a fairly thankless job. Correctional nursing is not for everyone and it takes a pretty thick skin to get through the...

  7. When male prisoners intentionally expose themselves to females

    sarsett replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Correctional

    This is good advise for a community psych hospital, but in prison this response will have you looking "overfamiliar", which is a cardinal sin in prison. Any wind that you are aware of and ignoring a...

  8. When male prisoners intentionally expose themselves to females

    sarsett replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Correctional

    Exactly. Don't act like you didn't see anything because this will definitely indicate that you like the behavior (as far as prison rules go...). I call them out loud enough so the whole tier can hear,...

  9. Handling remarks/comments

    sarsett replied to KmtWLPN's topic in Correctional

    I usually just say something along the lines of "You need to stop. I expect you to show the same respect to me that I show you." Then I ask what their medical concern is. If they continue the behavior...

    sarsett replied to Nissan350z's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tell me about it! Irinachka, if you haven't started already, definitely get all your blood work/injections/physicals done ASAP as well as your BLS course like Laura pointed out (AHA only). Otherwise,...

  11. TEAS VERSION 4.0

    sarsett replied to Rosie707's topic in LPN to RN

    You need to dedicate a few hours every day to studying. Take note of your weaknesses, and focus on those areas until you are more comfortable. There WILL be things (especially in science) on the test...

  12. Advise advise about first day of nursing school pleaseee!

    sarsett replied to latinadream's topic in General Students

    Definitely notify your professor in advance! Let him or her know the situation and make sure you express your enthusiasm about starting the program. As for what you will miss, it probably depends on...

    That's AWESOME!! Keeping my fingers crossed for

  14. Samuel Merritt Uni- Spring 2011 BSN Transfer Applicants

    sarsett replied to Nissan350z's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Admissions is pretty disorganized, so maybe you should call or go over there to see if everything is finalized. I know that tuition deposits have already been due, and that they are now sending out...

  15. Why do you feel that nursing is for you?

    sarsett replied to nyroshan's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I really don't think nursing programs are hurting where enrollment is

  16. Samuel Merritt Uni- Spring 2011 BSN Transfer Applicants

    sarsett replied to Nissan350z's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on getting into Long Beach! I was going to apply to SF state, but got accepted to SMU before I finished the application process:) So now I am stuck taking a very boring logic class that I...

  17. Samuel Merritt Uni- Spring 2011 BSN Transfer Applicants

    sarsett replied to Nissan350z's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The problem is the tuition deposit and letter of intent were due on the 19th, so I think they have finished sending out acceptance letters (though I could be mistaken). I would call the admissions...

  18. Samuel Merritt Uni- Spring 2011 BSN Transfer Applicants

    sarsett replied to Nissan350z's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a pretty long drive. I know someone who lives close to Oakland and drives to Sac for their job, so it's doable....but clinicals might be a challenge as they can often be at odd hours (you might...

  19. Samuel Merritt Uni- Spring 2011 BSN Transfer Applicants

    sarsett replied to Nissan350z's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't worry too much! You haven't received a rejection email either, so don't give up yet! I've seen other threads where people start to freak out when they don't get accepted at the same time as...

    sarsett replied to Nissan350z's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow I didn't think there would be many people from the 2+2 going for spring entry. I was under the impression it was easier for JC transfer students to get in during the spring because most...

    Same here, it's comforting to know I'm not alone, thanks for the fast

  23. Samuel Merritt Uni- Spring 2011 BSN Transfer Applicants

    sarsett replied to Nissan350z's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By the way, has anyone received a confirmation from SMU regarding the successful arrival of their application? They used to send an email, but I'm wondering now that it's all computerized if they...

    sarsett replied to Nissan350z's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey Laura, From what I hear your TEAS score is pretty competitive, and your GPA is pretty good too. They only look at the last 60 units taken along with all the science prereqs (they take the GPA of...
