  2. Deaconess start in Jan

    nadja9 replied to over30nursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    Just in case you guys haven't seen the other posts yet, the online ADN program through Deaconess currently has a "stay" for current students. The fate of DCN online will be decided at the end of...

  3. Waiting for DCN acceptance summer06

    nadja9 replied to ang05's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There are some excellent instructors there, I agree. They are the same instructors that are in the traditional program. I think there are some serious program issues, not instructor issues, which is...

  4. Waiting for DCN acceptance summer06

    nadja9 replied to ang05's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In December at the state meeting, it was decided that the "plug would be pulled" on the DCN online ADN program. And yes, this was due to low board pass rates. (66%, then the newest rate was 42% - you...

  5. Male RN-assist with pelvic exams?

    nadja9 replied to walnuttree91's topic in Emergency

    Yes, but your last sentence assumes that you know someone's history. And that's not always possible, even with a thorough hx because those things (childhood sexual abuse, rapre, etc) rely on self...

  6. Male RN-assist with pelvic exams?

    nadja9 replied to walnuttree91's topic in Emergency

    First off - RunningFool, Marie_LPN, and Nurse to be Joy: I agree with all of you, wholeheartedly. Second, professionalism is the key to ANY profession, but we also have those who are UNPROFESSIONAL...

  8. Allmost killed a patient by medication

    nadja9 replied to Great Dane's topic in General Nursing

    Great Dane, First, you misunderstood stn2003. Please reread what was written. Second, while I may agree with some of what you said, please refrain from making over generalized comments that may be...

  9. ADN to a BSN???

    nadja9 replied to ads24's topic in General Nursing

    Greetings! My personal and professional advise is to get your BSN sooner than later. A number of reasons why... First, as stated above (and an excellent point), is that it is much easier to focus on...

  10. CRNA accused of sexual misconduct

    nadja9 replied to subee's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Perhaps I don't have enough information here but.............. If the sedated patient was not left alone with the CRNA, I would think there would be a witness, although I realize not necessarily. If...

    nadja9 replied to subee's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Besides the CRNA, who was in the room with the

    nadja9 replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Gooooooooooooooo Soldierswife - the above is an excellent therapeutic response. :) :)

  13. Discharge orders you'd LIKE to write!!!

    nadja9 replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in Emergency

    LOL!!!! Aren't the excuses funny and quite creative!!! Once had someone in ED with what I am assuming was like a large, marichino (sp?) jar lodged in an interesting area of the body. It had to be...

  14. Latex gloves

    nadja9 replied to sunnysideup09's topic in General Nursing

    Just say no to latex......... except you have to use latex with chemo. I developed my sensitivity on the floor. At first I didn't actually attribute my red, rashy, itchy, burning hands to the latex...

  15. $30,000 for nsg school tuition????

    nadja9 replied to hope3456's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not certain that accreditation is a requirement for NCLEX. Many graduate programs require that their students be graduates of accredited undergrad programs, but I don't believe that it is a...

  16. Online LPN with Deaconess College and states that do not recongn. online programs

    nadja9 replied to moon30's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thank you for the info. I think it is important information to share. I know in Louisiana they took issue with the way students were responsible for their own clinicals, specifically. I wouldn't be...

  17. Questions about DCN

    nadja9 replied to new_mom26's topic in Online Distance Learning

    LadyKLibra, One of the major issues with this program is that, no, DCN online does not secure clinical sites for their students. I would HIGHLY recommend you secure placement in an acute care setting...

  18. Questions about DCN

    nadja9 replied to new_mom26's topic in Online Distance Learning

    CA, NY, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Washington are the one's I know of. Also, DCN online has only initial accreditation. They are not fully accredited yet as there have not been enough students to...

  19. Deaconess students in Louisiana

    nadja9 replied to MitchF's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Please check with your state BON. Minutes from past meetings (Oct. I think) indicate that DCN online cannot sit for boards in Louisiana due to reasons regarding the way clinicals are set up. I have...

  20. Any Pennsylvania Deaconess grads?

    nadja9 replied to L&D_2b's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can get the BON phone number from the website. I would call them to be sure. I know certain states do not endorse the DCN online program and will not let DCN online sit for

  21. What's your opinion? Unethical???

    nadja9 replied to stidget99's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all above. As a former social worker, I cannot even begin to list the potential tragedies you may encounter. I admire your bigger than life heart, many blessings to you. However, any...

    Hi Margery, I don't know what kind of info you are looking for exactly, but mesothelioma is a type of lung cancer caused from the inhalation of asbestos. It's a particularly deadly form of lung CA....

  23. Taking Deaconess as a Lead And Findng a Preceptor

    nadja9 replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    First of all, this was less than a year ago. It was last summer. Second, I live in the St. Louis area where I work with many DON's and nursing professionals in the areas of education as well as...

  24. Taking Deaconess as a Lead And Findng a Preceptor

    nadja9 replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Dear New Mom, While I certainly admire your ambition, I think you need to have a clear understanding how programs are set up. Clinical hours and placement cannot be simply "adjusted" to student...

  25. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    nadja9 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Ohhhh, I'd be careful with this one Fab4. I started having problems when I was 12, dx with possible endometriosis at age 15 (first surgery). I have an extremely high pain tolerance, probably because...
