  1. Working summers only as RN

    manusko replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in General Nursing

  3. How much poop/puke/cleaning of bodily fluids is there in nursing school?

    manusko replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    Well that's the way they set up advance practice programs. I know many GOOD CRNA programs that require 1-2 yrs and many are starting to do 2+ minimum. I also believe that NP programs should require at...

  4. Phlebotomy Class Worth It?

    manusko replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    I was a certified phlebotomist before nursing school and it didn't help much at all. Totally different sticking a needle for a blood draw than actually threading the IV. I rarely did any IVs in the...

  6. How much poop/puke/cleaning of bodily fluids is there in nursing school?

    manusko replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    manusko replied to Mikester92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Be careful with CLEPs. Make sure the school you plan on attending accepts them and also that that they don't require a higher passing standard than the national standard. A school I applied to would...

    manusko replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    I knew this would explode. Now you are lazy and shouldn't go into nursing. Lol. I personally never saw an NP clean up a pt. but that's just me. The OP never said that they would not clean up poop but...

  17. Chemistry at Clovis

    manusko replied to jandm855's topic in Ohio University

    Chemistry is more math than science. There is a lot of algebra questions to find the science answer they are looking for. They may give you some info about an "unknown" substance and then you will...

  19. New Nurse Pain Med Question

    manusko replied to ricksy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    manusko replied to ricksy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Really? Read again. Give meds 2 hrs post VS and then pt codes shortly after (never said 2 hrs later). And never said 2 hrs later. Actually said short time after and quoted saying VS were fine 2 hrs...
