    My classmates and I are working on one of our LAST nursing school assigments. We are required to research this topic and then ask nurses for their opinions on the subject. We would really appreciate...

  10. Uniforms

    EmilyCCRN replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    I've been pleased with www.jascouniform.com. I received all of my orders promptly and their prices seem competitive. Regarding the site you listed, why not try it out? Order with a credit card to...

  11. families with clipboards/notebooks

    EmilyCCRN replied to shock-me-sane's topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering how you could 'avoid' taking care of a patient whose family is taking notes on everything. Somebody has got to care for the patient regardless of the clipboard situation. Perhaps as a...

  12. how long is your commute?

    EmilyCCRN replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

    My current clinical site is about 35 minutes from my house, but I'm applying at a hospital right now that is less than 1/2 mile from my house. I can walk there in less than 15 minutes, and they start...

  13. How to CYA

    EmilyCCRN replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    The first thing that comes to my mind is to never assume that a pump is set correctly and/or the right IV solution is hanging just because the previous nurse documented it that way. I always start my...

  14. how many months of prepration is required for nclex

    EmilyCCRN replied to zinn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If a student has been properly prepared by his/her nursing program, he/she shouldn't require a lot of extra studying for NCLEX. I'm taking it the day after graduation--the soonest I can take it....

  15. Help! Advice on kid swallowing a pill...

    EmilyCCRN replied to RNin2007's topic in General Nursing

    I learned this trick from a naturopathic physician: When you're about to swallow a pill (take a sip of water first and then pop the pill, or vice-versa), press on your philtrum (the indentation...

  16. Best nursing shoes? recommendations?

    EmilyCCRN replied to newohiorn's topic in General Nursing

    Z-coils are the best shoes I've ever owned. I couldn't make it through a 12-hour shift without them!

  17. BSN to Med School??

    EmilyCCRN replied to HomeofLove4Him's topic in General Students

    The reason I would question why a person would get a BSN and then attend medical school is TIME. The original poster mentions that she is currently in an LPN program, so in order for her to obtain a...

    EmilyCCRN replied to jefferson's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCLEX = NATIONAL Council Licensure

  19. Drop outs or Change of mind

    EmilyCCRN replied to mary777's topic in General Nursing

  20. Barcode Meds/Patient

    EmilyCCRN replied to CarVsTree's topic in General Nursing

  23. Should I ??????

    EmilyCCRN replied to chill65's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the class for my B.S. and it does come in handy now that I'm in nursing school. I don't think it's absolutely necessary, but if you have the time/money/motivation, take the class or do some...

  24. watches - best for nurses?

    EmilyCCRN replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Students

    I prefer a watch with an expandable metal band so I can push it up my arm (with a clean paper towel, of course) before washing my hands. I would get really annoyed if I had to take my watch off every...

  25. LPN to RN programs?

    EmilyCCRN replied to WoosahRN's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You might want to check out Clark College in Vancouver, WA (just north of Portland). I know a nurse who just completed her LPN-to-RN at Clark. Good luck! :)
