  1. Wait time for CPNE

    BeachieRN84 replied to Womb Service's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It depends on your region and how far you are willing to travel on a short notice as they do offer cancellations... I applied in May-- got a date the next day, and rec'd 2nd week of Sept, so about 4...

    BeachieRN84 replied to dslpninla's topic in Online Distance Learning

  4. CPNE Questions

    BeachieRN84 replied to WestPalmLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    BeachieRN84 replied to dslpninla's topic in Online Distance Learning

    BeachieRN84 replied to WestPalmLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  9. Please Help

    BeachieRN84 replied to WestPalmLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  13. CPNE Questions

    BeachieRN84 replied to WestPalmLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The whole recapping thing gives me ogeda. I don't have any lab sim mneumonics... but as far as recapping they can't fail you for that unless you do it wrong or maybe they were giving a med during a...

  16. 20 min checks

    BeachieRN84 replied to dslpninla's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It is required on the PCS recording form so I would say just go up the arm, check skin turgor, glove up and check the IV site, gel, check tubing and get it out of the way. The way Rob says is to say...

    BeachieRN84 replied to WestPalmLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    BeachieRN84 replied to nursemomma11's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I know, it's hard to get a flow when you are working with a dummy, I know my blow up doll doesn't care that I keep stopping to check off my papers but I am sure to a patient it would be awkward....

    BeachieRN84 replied to nursemomma11's topic in Online Distance Learning
