  1. Any RNs doing Hospital Billing Audits?

    SarasotaRN2b posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I was just curious if there were any nurse entrepreneurs who have gone into the billing/coding field of medicine and do auditing of medical/hospital

  2. Daytonite...Need your help with this calculation!

    SarasotaRN2b posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We had three questions based on one label, so if you get the first wrong, you'll get all three wrong. The label was Ancef 400 mg/5mL. Reconstitute with 90 mL. The vial said that there was 100 mL...

  3. How is BSN training different than ASN?

    SarasotaRN2b posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It looks as though I will not be able to do the ASN due to a financial aid situation (too many credits), so I've decided to apply for the BSN in the State University System. Can anyone tell me how...

  6. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    Do a search and look for any postings from billythekid. I believe, he was accepted into the program awhile back. I've heard more favorable postings from NS than I had of LIJ's critical care program....

  7. *:.Advice Needed:RN Newbie in NYC.:*

    SarasotaRN2b replied to mcs293's topic in New York Nursing

    I think the idea is for the more popular hospitals, there is going to be great competition for their new grad programs and not everyone applying will be able to get in. Just think about the # of...

  8. on SATA type questions

    SarasotaRN2b replied to momtojosh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Paula, Breathe! Don't get all stressed about it. I know it is hard but don't put so much emphasis on just the SATA. You did well in nursing school, and you will do fine on the test. Instead of...

  9. Making ends meet in NYC

    SarasotaRN2b replied to njxcrush18's topic in New York Nursing

    One other thing to consider is that in California you really need to have a car...not the case with Manhattan. That alone can save you the cost of a car payment, insurance, maintenance and fuel....

  10. Clinical Math

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Starfish1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Totally agree with Melinurse. Before I started my first semester, I went through a number of sources that Daytonite provided and it really helped me. Also, I always look on this thread for other...

  11. Butterflies ~ Anxiety

    SarasotaRN2b replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes! and that's an emphatic yes! I start semester 2 and I still have some butterflies fluttering about. I find that if I take it just one day at a time, it helps. Whenever you feel a bit...

  12. Help on understanding

    SarasotaRN2b replied to iamhere's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This will be something as you go through your schooling that you will better be able to answer. The big thing is that it is patient centered, and as a nurse, you'll know they will understand the...

  14. Nursing School Graduation Percentages

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in General Students

    Actually, I do have to say that even though my class had a high attrition rate (15/43 withdrew or didn't pass), it wasn't lack of support from the school. I think the school realized that they needed...

  15. Grading Scale

    SarasotaRN2b replied to amyb2684's topic in General Students

    They just changed ours: 94 - 100 = A 87 - 93 = B 80 - 86 = C No rounding either, even if someone has a 93.99, they would still get a

  16. Nursing School Graduation Percentages

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately it appears that within the last couple of classes, the NCLEX pass rate has also suffered. I believe that is another reason why they are changing the requirements both to get into the...

  18. Nursing School Graduation Percentages

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in General Students

    Well, I can't comment on my school as a whole, but just my class which is starting the second semester is down about 13 students out of 43 starting. It does make for some anxious moments, but there...

  19. How to determine if you pass or fail

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Hotlando's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Check out the NCLEX thread. I believe that Suzanne gives a pretty good explanation of how the NCLEX is scored. I do think that application and comprehension are areas that you need to concentrate as...

  20. US RN or FNP work in UK, Ireland, Scottland, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand??

    SarasotaRN2b replied to emtneel's topic in International Nursing

    Yeah, that makes total sense. My current unit is considered a level 3. We have about 15 babies that need intensive care and then we have a progressive nursery where they need special care but not as...

  21. US RN or FNP work in UK, Ireland, Scottland, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand??

    SarasotaRN2b replied to emtneel's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Sharrie, thanks for the link. Wouldn't a NICU fit into one of these 2 categories? I know that where I work, we've a few babies that are on vents and some that required 1:1 nursing care.

  22. What Do you Like and Dislike About the NICU??

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Sl1011's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well, I am currently in nursing school myself, but I am working in a NICU as a unit assistant. What I do love about it, is watching the nurses work as a team...there is no your patient or my patient....
