~Transplant Nurse~

Hello!!! This morning I had a great interview for a transplant coordinator position for small bowel and multi-visceral transplant patients. I am really excited about the position, but it will be much different from what I do now. I'm currently on a "...

So we're watching "Cops" and the episode showed a belligerent person being sat on the back of an ambulance or treatment of a cut on her face. She was kicking and screaming, so the police officer threatened to tase her. We were wondering, once someone...

She was drunk- Thanks for the tip. Im not sure how paramedics carry out orders- protocols or verbals?

I have been a nurse for almost 4 years (ADN) and started an RN to BSN online a year ago. I agree with waiting the one year. My first year was extremely stressful, and I never could have handled school while adjusting to my new role. As far as going t...

The companies I rent my books from for the iPad are CourseSmart and VitalSource. I also got one through the PSU online bookstore.

Toothpaste sandwiched in between two masks. Not very discrete, though. I cant mouth breathe- I feel like I'm eating it.

I'm almost at 4 years, and had an interview last Friday for a nurse coordinator position. I'm a fit 28 year old, and my back is killing me.

The campus requires one independent study as the last class. I believe you must find your own preceptor. My friend is an NP, so I plan on doing mine with her. Otherwise, the whole program is online. As for books, I rent mine electronically for my iPa...

Hi! I am writing a fake proposal for my nursing informatics class regarding managing diabetes in prison. Can anyone tell me how you manage prisoners' diabetes? Do they have to line up to get there BS checked and for insulin administration? Is everyon...

Thank you for taking the time to respond :loveya: The posts were VERY helpful!!!

Transplant step-downs usually are a 3-1, not that there are a whole lot of those

OK, unfortunately you need 60 PSU credits to graduate "with distinction." Boo. http://dus.psu.edu/handbook/distinction.html

Sounds like nobody likes the prison nurse job! Thanks for the responses. One more question, and this may be a dumb one. Is there always a physician present in prisons? I'm guessing not. Also, would you have to write the BG's down, or did you have a ...

Interesting. The assignment was to come up with a proposal that would outline a program that incorporated telemedicine in diabetic prisoners. I just don't see how this would work without giving inmates access to needles or lancets.

BP 70's/30's; it's okay, her baseline is 80's/40's, and she's sleeping.

Large Pennsylvania Level One: tele specialty floor 4-5 days and nights. Many are VERY sick or are fresh transplants.

The poor guy probably feels intimidated!!!! I know I would feel a bit intimidated if I was going into a field where 90% of the workforce was African American males. Good for him if he has the determination to do something that may be frightening

Good question! I will ask my advisor and post back in a few days.

Yes it is!!! When I looked into OU, it was just under $6,000. This was over a year ago. I think she might have denied credit for some previous courses. As for PSU: 33 credits are transferred in by portfolio, so you don't need to take them if you g...

Great info- I'll give you my personal experience. I take only one class at PSU at a time, because I'm taking my gen eds concurrently at a community college. My tuition is $481 per credit. I never really understood who had to pay the $517. I thought t...

I take classes part time, so I'm not sure how long it would take to complete at full time. There are 28 credits that you absolutely need, so it depends how many credits you take. I think after I applied I had a response to my application in about 4 o...

1.) I take classes part time 2.) I work full time, but I am on a weekend program. I am required to work two 12's, but usually work three a week. 3.) I have a 4.0. I put in about 5 hours per week per class. 4.) All the teachers have had a one or two ...

One colleague told me she quit UO because she was turning in poorly written papers and was receiving "A" letter grades on them. She enrolled in another program. I don't know if this was her true reason, though. Another person told me the program cost...

Sure! I can't PM either I guess!!! I didn't know about the minimum post requirement :)
