Patient on tube feeding, initial rate 20ml/hr then advance 10ml Q12hrs. Patient has just been advanced to 50ml when NG tube inadvertently removed by confused patient. NG replaced 6hrs later, do you restart at 20ml/hr or go back to 40?

Christ. Have some empathy @doppelganger. Your comments took my breath away.

Right... dislodged tube was 48hrs old; new one placed 6hrs by IR; active bowel sounds.

A new grad resume length of 2 pages was suggested by a hospital HR rep, esp for those with a previous career. My husband, who reviews resumes regularly as a director of his dept, designed the attached one for me, consolidating it to 1 page. What are ...

Thanks so much. I'll reformat to 2 pages, modify the inpatient vet descriptor and remove the child reference. I appreciate your feedback.

I'm looking for advice on whether to pursue a CNA before beginning nursing school (accelerated 2nd Bach program). I currently volunteer in 2 departments at a local hospital. Great exposure and I'm learning a lot. I plan to apply to the Spring 2015 C...

crystaaal, I'll be taking the MATH200 class online as well. Any others?

Does anyone know about the ABSN program at SDSU? I'm attending the info session on 2/25. Wondering what anyone might know...

Just FYI it looks like this new requirement begins FALL 2014.

lgripe... do you know how to petition this? I took statistics at a cc in Fla and really don't want to repeat.

Ugh, that's too bad. Thanks lgripe!

Do they mail a hard copy of the advising worksheet in the mail or via email? Also does anyone know if it's possible to receive conditional admission if we have one final class in progress (before it's completed)? Assuming I get an A in my last class...

I am a future nurse trying to reconcile my beliefs about birthing with the standard of care birthing moms receive. Are there other nurses in L&D who are seeking change (or secretly hoping for change) in regards to the birth experience in hospital...

Great responses everyone. I feel better knowing nurses can have varying viewpoints and that's okay.

Can anyone tell me if the school has shared if there's a difference in clinical locations for Temecula/San Marcos or if they share the same sites? I've been dead set on San Marcos but am willing to consider Temecula if I know that they don't just do ...

Yes, IHG, Healthcare Academy (Oceanside) and The Nurse Group (Natl City), all comparably priced. I'd only have about a year and a half to work as a CNA before needing to quit/focus on school, so I'm not sure doing SNF first will work for me.

oh... and I've only been volunteering for 6wks/4hr shifts so I don't feel comfortable yet asking nurses for any type of job assistance.

No, I'll be applying for Spring 14, just curious. Online would be interesting/great.

Does anyone know what the hours are like for the first semester classes? I understand it's 3 night classes, but I'm wondering about the specific hours (gotta start planning...).

**Please forgive my double-posting here and on the nursing programs thread. ** I have a few questions about the job market and outlook in SD. I'm a SAHM and plan to go back to school for nursing degree when my child starts school. I already have a...

Can anyone explain what the new grad program schedule is like (i.e. full-time 3 - 12hr shifts, day/evening, varied?). If you know anything about any of the San Diego hospital programs, please share. Thanks.

Can someone explain what the new grad program schedule is like (i.e. 3 - 12hr shifts, days/nights) or is it varied? This question goes for any of the San Diego hospital new grad programs. Thanks.

I have a few questions about the job market and outlook in SD. I'm a SAHM and plan to go back to school for nursing degree when my child starts school. I already have a bachelor's. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 2nd degree programs at CSSM and Nat...

Thank you, LOSM. Since I posted that (less than 2 weeks ago) I've learned so much, and am laughing at how basic my questions were. :) Thanks for taking your time to enlighten me.

Thanks, Becca. I appreciate the grim reality truth. I actually feel more confident having the straight story than having a bunch of outdated, inaccurate info. And FWIW, I'm exclusively speaking about the San Diego market, if that helps with your resp...
