    THELIVINGWORST replied to permanentnights's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    THELIVINGWORST replied to tdupuis's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is this in Canada or the states? I was under the impression that CMS requires all facilities to transfer all pt information to EMR? These errors are exactly why EMR is a good idea. These errors...

    THELIVINGWORST replied to NSCgrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can get hired with either but I need to make sure you know that CSN does not have an accelerated program. The program itself is 2 whole years. It's four semesters with summers off. CSN is never a...

    THELIVINGWORST replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't choose a specialty in the way that doctors do. You may have an interest in something and, upon licensure, apply for jobs in that area. If you are interested in CRNA then you need AT LEAST 2...
