  2. chf and ventilator understanding

    It depends why they went on the vent in the first place. Was it all just vol overload ? Were they able to pull a lot of fluid off ? Are they at they normal wt ? We are usually able to extubate after...
  3. It varies according to the school. If u are in a program aim for a's now. Once your bsn is finalized any extra classes you take will not change your bsn
  4. I am not in yet but my friends in a program now are swamped with phys. When I interviewed they really recommended everyone taking a phys class or grad level phys. Good luck and congrats
  5. I agree with morificeko. Every program is different. Some have very low standards and accept tons of students then weed out. I don't think that ut chatt is like that as I was going to apply there too...
  6. RN rounding for Doctors?

    Interestingly I think I just came across a job posting for a position like this. Employed by the hospital but the unit was physician services. It didn't really specify the total job function. It was...
  7. I never worked LTC when I was an LPN but I remember in clinicals it was all about speed speed speed. The only thing that I can say is that it will take time for you to feel like you have a hang of...

  13. we have many transplants from Cali here in the Seattle area-they came solely for the reason that they could not get new grad jobs down there, but applied and got one up here. In my unit we only hire...
  14. Agency Nursing for a new LPN

    Are you only going to be going to the same type of unit that you work on now? If not the shock will be quite severe. I mean it is going to be severe anyway as you are a new grad and just getting...
  15. Nothing like having one of those CRAZY shifts....

    hugs!
  16. Switching from cardiac to OBGYN

    I would just apply now and see what happens if there is an open position. You can always call and talk to their nurse manager and see what they prefer for experience-i.e. wait the full year, or apply...
  17. I am not sure about taking the CCRN if you end up getting in without it-but if they already know you are going to take it and the other classes then I would follow through. They will take you at your...

  21. I am not in yet but when I interviewed I asked what students struggle with the most and they said physiology. They said at the least to go reread your phys book. That's why I was thinking if taking a...
  22. Any ICU's ambulating vented patients?

    I have worked in many icu's across the country but only saw it in one and it was pretty

    I have also worked across the country and have never seen this! They use APNs and PAs for this.
  24. It's decided!

    good
  25. Transitioning from telemetry to ICU.

    sounds like you are already doing the right things. Reading a CCRN review book would also do wonders for you as you are getting through your orientation-or after that is done. You will probably have...
