  14. Knoxville, Tennessee

  16. Any tips for starting IVs?

    I agree with the above. You will be fine. Everyone that is a nurse has been where you are right now. It takes practice. Just take deep breathes and remember you are not going to be successful with everyone you stick. Hold the skin taunt to steady you...

  23. Caps anyone??

    I am from Tennessee and when I worked in LTC 4 years ago we had to wear all white and our caps. It wasnt a big deal and the residents loved it, so it was fine. I can see that nurses that work with peds ect, it may not be as appropriate. It would pro...
