  1. KC hospitals

    I am relocating to Kansas City from Wichita in the next few months. I am wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of shift diff Shawnee Mission Medical Center and KU Med Center pays? I have talked to St. Lukes and they have a flat rate versus a perc...
  2. Any Wichitans love their job?

    After another horrendous weekend, I am about to be done with my current Med Surg job. I am currently looking around for other opportunities in the Wichita area, and I am wondering if there are any facilities where it isn't grueling day in and day out...
  3. Admission with abd pain & N/V/D...

    I bet the poor fella just needs a few good doses of Dilaudid and his pain will be much better. That Dilaudid does wonders...
  4. OB terminology

    Hi all, I am a student and our class is having a debate (awaiting clarification from instructor) as to what exactly para is. Specifically...if there is a primigravida who is due any day now (obviously beyond the 20 weeks) is she a para 1 yet or not u...
  5. Butler CCC or WSU Nursing Program

    While I have worked with students of both WSU and Butler, as well as Newman, I would have to disagree and say it certainly depends on the student as to whom is the most prepared. I currently work with recent WSU grads that are not nearly as sharp as ...
  6. Butler CCC or WSU Nursing Program

    I went to Butler and worked about 30 hrs a week with no problem. However, I do not have any children. I work with some WSU nurse techs and they are able to work 48-72 hrs a wk, so it probably has a lot to do with what your life exists of outside of w...
  7. Hi all....I am looking to a different field.

    Thanks for the info, Knarf. So on the electives, you have to take them elsewhere and transfer them or what? Doesn't make any sense.
  8. Hi all....I am looking to a different field.

    Hey Knarf...totally off subject, are you doing KU's online RN-BSN? I just applied for spring semester. Would love any info you might have, like, how many do they admit each semester and what do clinicals involve? Thanks!
  9. Mixing IV meds

    Hi all, I am a relatively new nurse and had never considered mixing IV meds together before administration. This was never something that came up in school, nor something I ever saw during clinicals. However, several nurses on my floor regularly do t...
  10. Help Re: Constipation - Need Recipe!

    That is an urban legend. Dr. Pepper has never been made of, or contained prune juice. Here is the snopes page link to read about it if you wish.
  11. Any Kansas students starting program in January?

    I went to Butler. I am now finishing my Bachelor's through an online RN-BSN program.
  12. Any Kansas students starting program in January?

    What school are you going to? Of course, all schools differ in their curriculum and clinicals etc. I can say to be prepared for lots of reading, lots of studying, and lots of time management needed. Your clinical workups can take 6-8 hours or more on...
  13. Transplantation Nursing

    I, too, will be starting as a new grad on a transplant floor. I vote yes to a transplant forum.
  14. 7p-7a question

    Hello all ! I will be graduating in May and, so far, the positions I have interviewed for have been for the 7p-7a shift (which is what I want to work anyway). During clinicals, we have only done day shift rotations and, therefore, I have no idea what...
  15. IV push rates

    Does anyone know of a reference, like a laminated card of some sort, that lists the most common IV push meds with dosages and push rates? I have searched the web, but I haven't been able to locate such a thing. Thanks! Fleasle
  16. The dean of the nursing department told us at the beginning of our 1st semester that the hardest semester, "is the one you are in". She was not lying. LOL. :wink2::wink2::wink2:
  17. Calculations, Please help me understand

    Problems with grains can be used with dimensional analysis. 1 grain = 60 mg. We were told that 60 mg is the standard conversion factor used, although, it is really like 59.66666 or something.
  18. Administering CPR

    Hi everyone! I am sorry if this is a repeat topic, I searched but could not locate any threads on this. Anyway, after taking CPR today, I got to thinking...how often do nurses actually administer CPR? Have you ever had to do it? Were you freaked out...
  19. Paying back student loans...

    Oh my gosh, that is so me. :chuckle:chuckle:angryfire:rotfl:
  20. Financial aid questions

    Yes, they can ask for bank statements and some schools do. I could not locate my school's online form, but I found one at another school that specifically says to attach a bank statement and have a bank employee verify your average daily balance. The...
  21. Nursing School Entrane Exam

    IMO, you should call your school and find out the name of the test you are taking. I know of the NET (Nursing Entrance Test) and the TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) test, and I'm sure other schools use tests other than these. Once you know w...
  22. Help with an Ethics Topic!

    How about whether or not alcoholics deserve liver transplants, or an overweight person deserves a heart transplant, etc. We debated this last semester and it was very interesting how far you could take it. This presumes that the reason for the liver ...
  23. Financial aid questions

    At my school they randomly pick students each semester who have to go through a verification system. I have been picked twice in 2 years. Anyway, you have to prove all of the info put in the FAFSA, which included BANK statements, W-2, paycheck stubs,...
  24. Try this one.... https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105955&highlight=weaknesses+interview If this isn't exactly what you were looking for, it will hopefully suffice. Flea
