  1. IV med dosing question

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to luv2b_a_nurs's topic in General Nursing

    Pharmacy was called and agreed that the 2nd mg can be given within the 4 hours. I would rather start a pt on 1 mg and give another later if necessary instead of going for 2 right away. We do it a lot...

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to SFDRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad and needed more practice at IV's. So, I spread the word and told my CNS. She had me go down to the ED where I got to practice and they gave me some good tips. Use the manual BP cuff...

  4. Question about flushing lines

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to R!XTER's topic in General Nursing

    If I can't flush it easily at first I'll reposition the catheter. Sometimes the tip gets bent, especially in the AC. I had two of these this week! If I can't flush it, I pull the IV out. No way would...

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to scottk's topic in General Nursing

    yep, that

  7. MATC or WCTC??

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to scottk's topic in General Nursing

    Careful with WCTC. I have heard from several past and present students that they weed people out a LOT! That might change your mind on where to go. I wouldn't think the extra stress is worth

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to amandabell's topic in General Nursing

    ya, 2 times petitioning is only like a one year wait. Hang in there. I petitioned 3 times before I got in at Gateway. You may be called in the next round. Are all your pre-reqs done and your packet...

  9. MATC (Milwaukee) 3rd Semester Opinions Needed

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to miswend78's topic in General Nursing

    I did GTC's program. I was so stressed about 3rd semester that I got a cold sore the first day of classes! BUT- It was ok! I took all 4 clinical courses at once. I agree that a lot depends on the...

  10. How is it possible to lose license in one state and be able to practice in another?

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to 40334lvn's topic in General Nursing

    idk...maybe she had a license in more than one state before she lost the one in one of them so is able to still work under the other one she had. That would be my

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to nsg-student's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about Parkside but I just enrolled at Concordia University/WI. They had the best tuition price and allowed for transfer of more of my credits than other schools would. I got 87 credits...

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to nsg-student's topic in General Nursing

    I had one girl from my class (GTC ADN) get an RN job at Froedtert too. I have no idea how she did it. There is also a guy that posts on here that graduated from GTC and got a job at Froedtert as an...

  13. Gateway Technical College (Kenosha) Students

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to nsg-student's topic in General Nursing

    I am employed by Aurora. I worked there as a CNA while I was in school. I applied for a few extern positions but did not get one due to my casual status so the other girls got first opportunity. At my...

  14. Gateway Technical College (Kenosha) Students

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to nsg-student's topic in General Nursing

    Aurora hires SNI as well. It is easier to get those positions if you already work in the hospital as a CNA or another position. That is a good place to start if you aren't already employed at a...

  15. Gateway Technical College (Kenosha) Students

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to nsg-student's topic in General Nursing

    I went to GTC at the Burlington campus. Classes were intense with homework and studying if you go full time. It can be done. I did it taking the 4 classes at a time and did not fail any classes. I...

  18. Having a baby soon after graduation, concerned about starting my nursing career later

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to BB0924's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sure it is possible if you have an explanation why, you know?? It's hard to say though depending on how hospitals are in your area right now as far as their willingness to hire new grads and...

  19. Had to leave clinical early bc of sick child

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to Student KMW's topic in General Students

    Yes, it sucks and I know how you feel. We were advised to have a plan, a back-up plan, and a back-up to our back-up plan! lol And like someone else mentioned, it will be the same when you have a job...

  20. Is there any advantage to "Full Time"?

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to Trenia's topic in General Students

    You only need 6 credits per semester to qualify for financial aid. I can think of more advantages to going part time! I can't imagine doing a full load with the intense nursing core courses and the...

  21. Did I fail the NCLEX?

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to randie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Depends on your state. My state took a week before my name was in. Are you in a state that allows you to get quick results for $7.95? Otherwise, try the Pearson Vue trick to help ease your mind....

    I had a job interview last week for my first job as an RN. I pretty much am hired but have not yet received a formal job offer. THis is the hospital where I worked as a CNA. I also have a possible...

  23. How do I stall?

    luv2b_a_nurs replied to luv2b_a_nurs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I actually got an offer from my hospital and called the other since I had not heard from them about an interview. They wanted to interview me next week. However, I asked if they would hire new grads...
