  1. Med-Surg Class Group Project

    EmilyCCRN replied to laurawho7's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ummm...if your presentation is about medical-surgical nursing, I don't understand why you would ask how long someone has worked in the emergency department, the operating room, or the intensive care...

  2. Paper on Male Nursing

    EmilyCCRN replied to LSUNurseMan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't have any research to share with you, but I wanted to add my $0.02 to the discussion--what a dumb question you school has thrown at you! Gender has nothing to do with one's ability to be an...

  3. Dont want to bankrupt husband. Please help.

    EmilyCCRN replied to smelltheroses's topic in Nursing Career

    Whether you graduate from an ADN or a BSN program, you'll take the same NCLEX. In my state, there is no difference in pay for 2-year and 4-year nurses, but some jobs (mostly management) require a...

  4. Where to start?

    EmilyCCRN replied to paprika88's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I am not that familiar with the process, but I do know that Clark College in Vancouver, WA holds a few spots for LPNs in their RN program. Here is their website: http://www.clark.edu/ Good

  5. Pinning Ceremony Attire

    EmilyCCRN replied to EmilyCCRN's topic in General Students

    I helped out at last year's pinning ceremony, and it was a little embarrassing (not that all ceremonies are, but our school ran it very poorly). They didn't do a sound check before the ceremony so...

  6. What to expect in my Psych rotation

    EmilyCCRN replied to nurstobe's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Like MikeyBSN said, it really depends on what type of setting you'll be in. I did my rotation in an inpatient setting, and I worked with patients who had mood disorders, thought disorders, chemical...

    EmilyCCRN replied to Vancouvergirl's topic in Oregon Nursing

    We are fortunate to have many good nursing schools in the Portland area. BSN programs: OHSU University of Portland Walla Walla Linfield Concordia ADN programs: Portland Community College Clackamas...

  10. Is This Unheard Of 2 School At Once???

    EmilyCCRN replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I attended several schools while earning my Bachelor of Science degree. There were a couple of classes that were full at my school, so I took them at other schools to get them out of the way. As...

  11. limited space availably

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

    The schools in my area have waiting lists, but they are only good for that particular academic year. That is, if you are wait-listed for fall of 2005 and you don't get in, you have to start over in...

  12. RN Certification

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

    Check with your state's Board of Nursing as continuing education requirements vary by location. In Oregon, for example, continuing education is generally not required for RNs, with the exception of...

  13. Nursing school or Medical school

    EmilyCCRN replied to steph86's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm curious as to why you joined allNURSES.com when all you seem to want to do is talk about your dislike (or, perhaps, disdain?) for the profession and how you are entering medical school in the near...

  14. Silver bandage

    EmilyCCRN replied to OURN83's topic in Burn

    I just attended an inservice on WoundV.A.C. at my hospital and they have already started using the silver-impregnated foam for some patients. It's pretty amazing

  15. Pulmonary Toilet

    EmilyCCRN replied to powerpooch's topic in Burn

    The term 'pulmonary toilet' is not specific to burn nursing. I've come across the term in all of the med/surg units I've worked in. It's my understanding that it includes all "respiratory care"...

  16. Looking for a West Coast Burn Unit

    EmilyCCRN replied to Goodie's topic in Burn

    Emanuel Hospital in Portland, OR has a burn unit, as well. http://www.legacyhealth.org/body.cfm?id=46&oTopID=0 Good luck to you!

  17. Nursing school or Medical school

    EmilyCCRN replied to steph86's topic in Nursing Career

    It's wonderful that you're going to medical school. You wouldn't want to waste that 'intellect' on a lowly profession like

  18. CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

    EmilyCCRN replied to Karen06's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Our CNAs make $11-$13/hour in Portland, OR (in hospitals,

  19. All You Lefty's Out there....

    EmilyCCRN replied to Melly1022's topic in General Nursing

    I'm left-handed, as well, and I do most things with my dominant hand. I struggle with tying tourniquets and restraints because I've only observed right-handed nurses performing these tasks, but I'll...

  20. Sacred cows that need to be laid to rest

    EmilyCCRN replied to stevierae's topic in Operating Room

    Patients receiving anticoagulant therapy, for example, can bleed quite a bit from SQ injections, so I wear gloves when I perform this task. If a patient starts bleeding, I don't want to have to take...

  21. Check Out The Back Cover of November's AJN!!

    EmilyCCRN replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nursing Humor

    This is too funny--my fellow students and I were just discussing this very topic tonight at clinicals. My friend said, "I wonder what the postman thinks of me for having full-page enema ads delivered...

  22. weak stomach - cant decide

    EmilyCCRN replied to hannahstul's topic in Nursing Career

    I have found that most nurses have one thing that really grosses them out (sputum, feces, GI bleed, even feet), so you wouldn't be the only one that was bothered by stuff. I personally used to be...

  23. Nursing school or Medical school

    EmilyCCRN replied to steph86's topic in Nursing Career

    Do you want to be a physician or a nurse? They are very different careers. You'll probably find that most people on allnurses.com are a little biased toward the nursing profession (hence the reason...

  24. STUPID ATI testing

    EmilyCCRN replied to Janinern84's topic in General Students

    We just took our maternal/child test today and I thought for sure that I was going to bomb it, but I wound up in the 98th percentile. I think I only scored in the 90th percentile on the med/surg...

  25. Nursing School Bloopers

    EmilyCCRN replied to Jabber964's topic in Nursing Humor

    My instructor let me borrow her personal Carpuject for my very first IV push last year in clinicals. I checked the "7 rights", gave the med over the correct period of time...everything went off...
