    hgwalter91 replied to dpg234's topic in Cardiac

    I had my interview for a telemetry floor just a few months ago. They know you are a new nurse, my interviewers just acted like it was a normal interview for any other job. Like what is your goal for...

  7. New Grad in ER, working with LPNs

    hgwalter91 replied to Ria80's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. looking for information about the LPN/RN program brown mackie ks location

    hgwalter91 replied to FuturePedsNur16's topic in General Nursing

    Brown Mackie in general is just a bad school. I suggest you look elsewhere. Very bad reputation at least where I live. (Northern Indiana) State board of nursing even looks down on

  9. exit exam and stressed to the max.

    hgwalter91 replied to tncrawfordc's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm guessing you are taking the exit hesi or something similar? Only 4 out of 15 passed our exit hesi and thank god I was one of them. My advice is study the hesi book, Saunders, and even look into...

  10. Should I be worried about my HESI score?

    hgwalter91 replied to Dezi919's topic in General Students

    Start studying the hesi book. Entrance exam means nothing towards nursing knowledge. My school actually requires us to pass the exit hesi of at least an 850 or higher. Only 4 out of 15 of us passed...

  13. Pre-Nursing student: RPN(LPN) Or RN?

    hgwalter91 replied to Filibus's topic in Canada

    RNs are actually replacing a lot of LPNs at least in the US because it puts the company/hospital at a higher level. You are able to get a RN in 2 years. Why

    hgwalter91 replied to Lusin's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I could not find a good ekg map online, but our machine at the hospital has a button with color coded dots on it to match up on where to put each lead. It's that

  17. Cardiac tech

    hgwalter91 replied to Lusin's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Performing the ekg is super easy. As an RN now we will look at the strips during the shift, but a 12 lead is seen by the nurse, but diagnosed by the doctor. As nurses and aids we do not diagnose. If...

  18. Cardiac tech

    hgwalter91 replied to Lusin's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was trained on the job to do ekgs as an aid. No certificate required just a couple of sign offs by coworkers. It really does add to your resume though if you confidently know how to do a ekg. Good...

  23. Shadowing a nurse

    hgwalter91 replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only time I truly shadowed nurses was when a hospital wanted to hire me for two different departments and they wanted me to follow a nurse from each floor. Doing this they figured I would stay...

    hgwalter91 replied to nancynvu1407's topic in General Students
