  1. University of Cincinnati - NP

    jossjjojo posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am considering UOC for their NP program. Has anyone attended there. Have you/were you happy with their program. I would be attending online. Any other NP schools that you think are good online...

  2. Have you ever had a pt have sex...

    jossjjojo replied to jarrn03's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with you Crunch. There is a time and a place and the hospital is not one of them. That is what you do before you show up at the hospital in labor and if labor doesn't start then you do what...

  3. IV Gauge for CT

    jossjjojo replied to EDrunnerRN's topic in Emergency

    I've been told that they have to have a 20 gauge above the wrist. The will refuse anything less and it's because the vein will not hold up to their power

  4. Qoute "If you quit, I will report you to the state B.O.N.!!!!!!"

    jossjjojo replied to bobs201's topic in General Nursing

    ITA. I would not give her the courtesy of waiting until after her vacation. She does not deserve any considerations. I would speak to her superior and make them aware of what was said. I wouldn't call...

  5. failed NLCEX-RN..

    jossjjojo replied to dadah_vxr's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why take the NCLEX-PN when you've earned your BSN? If you can get through nursing school, you can pass the boards. American nurses fail the NCLEX too and have to repeat. Have faith in yourself, study...

  6. Narc count right, then WRONG

    jossjjojo replied to Dee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I see nothing wrong with an LPN having the narc keys. A licensed nurse whether RN or LPN is held to the same standards. LPN's and RN's equally have been known to divert

  7. For those a BSN or MSN acquired online, did you face discrimination when job hunting

    jossjjojo replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's sad. You're missing out on some wonderful nurses. It's not the brick and mortar that's important it's what goes into the students head and is retained. I worked hard for my online degree....

    jossjjojo replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    No, no issues what so ever. Just checked for

  9. Pt choking and DNR....

    jossjjojo replied to Beachbum2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It is when there is no pulse or respirations.

  10. Pt choking and DNR....

    jossjjojo replied to Beachbum2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It doesn't matter what causes a cardiac or respiratory arrest, the DNR is valid and should be

  11. Pt choking and DNR....

    jossjjojo replied to Beachbum2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You're right, the hemlich is not a cardiac life saving technique, but if the item can not be retrieved through the hemlich or through suction and the patient becomes unconscious suffering a...

  12. Pt choking and DNR....

    jossjjojo replied to Beachbum2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I just saw this same question in another

  13. Pt choking and DNR....

    jossjjojo replied to Beachbum2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If the patient codes for whatever reason and they are a DNR then do not resuscitate. I would do the heimlich, suction, whatever I could but once they "code" it's time to stop

  14. Help!!

    jossjjojo replied to Darknights's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I realized that. 50mg of Morphine would kill a horse! Therefore I said I would refuse to give it and contact the person in charge. My question was merely coincidental. Was the patient even in pain...

  15. Low diastolic = 911?

    jossjjojo replied to JLForever's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would have charted the systolic and charted that you were unable to hear the diastolic x how many ever times your tried and the different locations that you tried. Obviously the patient had one, you...

  16. Help!!

    jossjjojo replied to Darknights's topic in General Nursing

    If I had received an order like that I would have refused to give it and promptly called the supervisor, director, manager or whomever is ultimately in charge. I would not have charted anything about...

  17. How would you interpret this order for pain medication?

    jossjjojo replied to I<3H2O's topic in General Nursing

    It certainly is acceptable. It's the patients level of pain and nursing judgment that dictates whether 1 or 2 tabs will be

  18. Chamberlain college of nursing/ getting into grad school?

    jossjjojo replied to freyes's topic in General Nursing

    The degree comes only from Chamberlain College of Nursing even though some of the course are taken through

  19. New Grads, Bitterness, and Maybe A Real "Nursing Shortage."

    jossjjojo replied to Trinitas2010RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am so sorry to hear this. There are parts of the country that are anxious for RN and willing to take new grads. I don't know if moving is a possibility for you, just thought I'd mention it. Where I...

  20. Chamberlain college of nursing/ getting into grad school?

    jossjjojo replied to freyes's topic in General Nursing

    No. Chamberlain is fully accredited and is accepted by such universities such as Vanderbilt, University of New York, UCLA, etc....not to worry. I checked it out thoroughly and then decided not to go...

  21. Why Even go for your MA? Don't Understand...

    jossjjojo replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    Simply out of curiosity (really) does the doctor refer to you as his nurse? Do the patients think you are a nurse? I'm not judging, I'm just

  22. Can a hospital legally force you to get your bsn if you are an adn

    jossjjojo replied to lv2brn's topic in General Nursing

    That is happening where I work too. LPN's are just as capable as RN's. Rather than reducing them to tech's they should pay for their further education and give them a time

  23. Why Even go for your MA? Don't Understand...

    jossjjojo replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    MA's have their niche in doctor's offices and do a great job. The issue I have is relaying orders to hospital nurses. It's not allowed in many states yet it occurs. I have received several...

  24. Taking picture of patient?

    jossjjojo replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    Here's what I'm not getting. I DC IV's all the time. At first they do bleed ferociously if you don't apply immediate pressure. Within a couple of minutes it stops. I still place several folded 2x2's...

  25. Can a hospital legally force you to get your bsn if you are an adn

    jossjjojo replied to lv2brn's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you be grandfathered in? I see nothing about granting a BSN for time as an ASN? Doesn't make sense, you have to "earn" a BSN. I am glad to hear that you are planning on earning your
