As a chemo nurse I strongly believe that training is vital. I completely agree with what you say wanting to do it right for your patients. Sounds like a dangerous place to work. I went to oncology as a new grad. My floor was going through a big turno...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there are any RNs that are currently or have previously worked at UAMS. I have researched the hospital and benefits online, but you can only get so much from a website or a call to a recruiter. From the way it s...

Hello everyone! I just saw the thread on the Oklahoma forum that asked where you are and what you do. Thought it might be nice to have one hear. There have to be at least a few of us on here. I am a Nursing student going into the 2nd semester in ...

If it is normal for all children I don't know, but ALL 3 of my boys constantly pulled at their penis when they were around that age. My youngest thinks it's funny to pull his diaper off to do it. Don't worry, I am sure she is just fine. Hope this ...

My top three are pediatrics, rhuematology, and med oncology. I want to work in pediatric oncology, so I think its great!

I have to start by saying that I intend to get my NP after I am done with my ADN and BSN. That being said, I think one does cross a certain line with wanting NPs to perform surgery, even what you would describe as minor ones. Doctors do serve a pur...

I inject air into my dilutent first, draw up my medication, then the dilutent. Always check you med book for the acceptable sokution to use as a dilutent and the proper amount to use. Good luck! Sunny

At the hospital where I perform clinicals, we have a barcode system for the patient and the meds. For our patients in isolation, or sometimes when they are not, we use the barcode on their charge card in the nurse server. It seems to work well at t...

Hi, I just wanted to say that I kind of know how you feel. I lost my mother in law who I loved very much two days before Christmas. She had been diagnosed for 4 months when she passed and she was only 68 years old. When they finally got her diagno...

Perhaps I am off base here, but this is how I personally feel about marriage and nursing school. BTW I have been married for seven years, so I have a little experience with it. Your marriage will make it through nursing school if you want it to. N...

I can completely relate. I am also in Arkansas, but am at an ADN program. There isn't a BSN program in our area unless you already have your ADN. I am feeling burnt out as well, but I still have a semester after this one. I say go into the area Y...

Yes, I am extremely lucky (hence my name) to be married to such a wonderful man, have three beautiful, kind and intelligent boys and such loving and caring parents. God has blessed me more than I could ever deserve. It all comes from him!

My first paycheck is going to pay for me to take out all of my family who have helped me make it through school. My husband, my kids (who I do this for), and my parents. Then we are going to the nearest Chevy dealer to buy my husband a new pick-up ...

Hi there! I live in the Fort Smith area which is right next to Van Buren. You can make $18 as a new grad here or you can drive 40 minutes to Fayetteville and make $23 an hour plus a sign on bonus. Let me know if there is anything else I can help w...

Congratulations!! Good luck with your studies:) Sunny

Hi there! I am currently a student of the ADN program at UAFS. I am sorry to inform you but the way the program is set up at UAFS you must obtain your ADN (even if you have a bachelors in another field) before you can advance to the BSN program. T...

18- baby boy 21- baby boy #2 23- baby boy #3 Thank God above that they were all healthy and they are more than ever the light of mine and my husband's life.:)

That was a beautiful story. Made me cry, but beautiful none the less. Thank you for sharing.:) Sunny

ARKANSAS!!!!! Come to UA Fort Smith in Fort Smith, Arkansas. We go by GPA and NLN pre-entrance exam score. If you could take the NLN somewhere and have your scores sent to UAFS I bet you could enter in the Spring, providing you sent your other inform...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share that I had my rotation in the pre-op area yesterday and I got to start 2 IVs and I nailed both of them on the first stick!!:) :) I am on cloud nine. I know that this will NOT happen all the time, but it really ...

I agree with Dave. Men carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, especially when they are the primary bread winners. It is probably not realistic to think that hubby is not going to want to keep his job when it is the only one paying the bi...

I just wanted to say something about the whole "you're young so you can have more" speech. I have a very dear friend who is in her mid 20s who has had an enormous amount of difficulty in concieving. She and her hubby just recently found out they ar...

Confused, I am so sorry for your losses. I have no wise words of wisdom to offer you. I am the same age you are. I lost my brother when he was 23 and my sister in law when she was 26 and they were both wonderful people with children and other fami...

I pick up my manual next week with the rest of my books. We too check off on this skill the beginning of next semester. I am scared to death to do this. We have to do one on each other to pass. I think this will definitely be the one skill where ...
