    Christina_NICU replied to megcourt's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    At my level III NICU we're both trained to do it (UAC or PAL). They get their gases and we get our labs. Usually try and coordinate draws so we break into the line as little as possible. The RTs are...

    Christina_NICU replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

  14. Miami Nursing Schools.. Help

    Christina_NICU replied to PRILLY515's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think a lot of nursing schools in the area do. At FIU we had one there for Fundamentals. Also, UM goes there (obviously) What other hospitals does Barry do clinicals at? I'm wondering how many other...

  15. Took Nclex Second Time Today...265 Again..

    Christina_NICU replied to MLK RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure that it "picks" people to take 265 questions. It was my understanding that you will keep getting questions until you pass, or until there is not possible way you can pass. Once you get...

    I live in Miami so I'm okay. I just hope that it's stalling doesn't give it a chance to strengthen. Also, it's terrible for those in the Bahamas and so on because of the terential downpours and...

  20. Trauma with the clinicals....Help

    Christina_NICU replied to depedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I can't see that being possible either. As for rumors, they are always rampent. I heard plenty while taking pre-reqs. Maybe it's becuase of the intense competition to get into the program that gets...
