  1. I got the good pop-up!

    luv2b_a_nurs posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just got back from my NCLEX-RN. 75 q's, not a ton of SATA, a few really easy ones which concerned me, but I got the good pop

  2. Best online RN to BSN program....CHEAP?

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to TonyaM73's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I feel that as more time passes, the stigma of online universities will not be like it is perceived by some now. It is the wave of the future and as more students do it and more programs are...

  3. Thoughts on WGU

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to Ziglar1's topic in Western Governors University

    Not sure about CRNA schools accepting WGU's GPA. You get a flat 3.0 GPA when you pass courses. This may not be enough for CRNA schools if they are highly competitive. Best thing to do is check out...

  4. Best online RN to BSN program....CHEAP?

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to TonyaM73's topic in Online Distance Learning

    however, the wgu bsn, msn and phd, will lock you down to their system (how is that?)of "passing /fail = 3.0 max. in other words, you are pretty much locked down with them and not able to go anywhere...

  5. WGU RN-BSN 11/1/11 start

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Western Governors University

    All the classes are online. I believe if one has an ASN only 7 core nursing classes are needed. You are assigned a (free) mentor who you will speak with every week in your first term and then biweekly...

  6. Best online RN to BSN program....CHEAP?

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to TonyaM73's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You stated that you wanted a program without an entrance exam which is why I asked why it's a problem! I did the research and found that one does recieve a GPA with WGU of 3.0 upon graduating. It is...

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to TonyaM73's topic in Online Distance Learning

    BTW, why is an entrance test such a big deal for

  8. Best online RN to BSN program....CHEAP?

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to TonyaM73's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Western Governor's University is very popular on here. They do have an entrance test to take but you do it online in your own home and it is not difficult to pass and you can take it before you are...

  9. WGU RN-BSN 11/1/11 start

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Western Governors University

    Can you pm me the link for the discussion board?

  10. New Grad RN position - Success! How I did it and with who (if anyone cares lol)

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to JAG58RN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. I don't think that it's unprofessional to post wage. I am just surprised at the amt. I have interviewed there also and i don't remember it being more than 22/hr....

  11. Same Day Surgery Center question

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to learningnurse's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    that's a great question! I just got a job in same day surg and would love to find a book like that as

  12. New Grad RN position - Success! How I did it and with who (if anyone cares lol)

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to JAG58RN's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations. Aurora also seems to be one in the area who has been hiring new grads. Isn't that a bit of a commute for you though? I also am surprised that they start at that rate. I interviewed...

  13. WGU RN-BSN 11/1/11 start

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Western Governors University

    I am planning to. Had my intake interview. Waiting for transcript eval and FA package. Hopefully I won't have to pay out of pocket for the first semester as I get some tuition reimbursement and loan...

  14. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

  15. Question about GPA and WGU

    luv2b_a_nurs posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    So, I have my ADN and had a program GPA of 3.86. If I obtain my BSN degree from WGU will they average my ADN GPA with my WGU GPA to bring it up from the 3.0 that they give for everyone who passes? I...

  16. New job offer dilemia....feedback appreciated

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to crb613's topic in General Nursing

    I just took a job in same day surgery. We don't have call and pts that will be admitted go straight to the med/surg floor. No recovery for us. Gotta love no holidays/weekends! It can be stressful when...

  17. CNA financial assistance in Wisconsin?

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to Lady11's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried MATC? They always offer a CNA course and it isn't terribly expensive (compared to Alverno's tuition!) I believe they have some kind of assistance available but can't remember the...

  18. Not the new grad problem I expected..

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to MInurse.st's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hmmm, that's tricky! It's so hard to decide, isn't it?? I had a similar situation recently. Interviewed for a job *close* to my dream job but night shift in a hospital about 45 mins from my home. I...

  19. IV med dosing question

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to luv2b_a_nurs's topic in General Nursing

    No need to be nasty. I did get the sarcasm, however, when that is the only resource one has on a pm shift what else is one supposed to do? What nurse has the time (and even knows how) to search...

  20. IV med dosing question

    luv2b_a_nurs posted a topic in General Nursing

    You have 2 orders for an IV pain med. One is for 1 mg Q4. The other is for 2 mg Q4. 1 mg is given and 2 hours later another 1 mg is given. Is this within the parameters for the dosing. The CNS wasn't...

  21. IV med dosing question

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to luv2b_a_nurs's topic in General Nursing

    The supervisor didn't know either. She was the one that called pharmacy to find out. I do not know if the pharmacist referred to a written policy or not but I do think we need to be more aware of what...

  22. IV med dosing question

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to luv2b_a_nurs's topic in General Nursing

    Can you elaborate? New RN and I am trying to use this as a learning experience. We also had a pt that had an order for 3 mg dilaudid Q 6H. The report I was given from the previous RN was that the pt...

  23. IV med dosing question

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to luv2b_a_nurs's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe so but having the pharmacist give the 2nd mg would be outside of THEIR scope! We as RNs are trained and are qualified to administer meds and use our critical thinking skills and...

  24. IV med dosing question

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to luv2b_a_nurs's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I don't know that it *really* matters a ton when the next time frame starts as long as one does not give a total of more than 2 mg in 4 hours but I would go 4 hours from the time of the first...

  25. IV med dosing question

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to luv2b_a_nurs's topic in General Nursing

    Well that's what I don't understand. How is it prescribing if you have an order for either and use your nursing judgement to medicate the pt effectively? The dose has already been prescribed by the Dr...
