  1. Keiser Winter 2017

    AngelRN27 replied to cragomama's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey OP, I graduated from Keiser's Miami campus RN program in 2012. Right now I'm actually finishing up my BSN with them as well (RN to BSN program) after having practiced as a nurse for about 4...

  2. Giving med outside scheduled time.

    AngelRN27 replied to notanumber's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    This thread should be moved to LTC. This is not the same as

  3. MHSA vs. Healthcare MBA

    AngelRN27 posted a topic in General Students

    Good Morning All, I am currently at a crossroads when it comes to deciding what program to pursue. In lieu of seeing an advisor as I am still a couple of months away from completing my BSN, I wanted...

  4. MHSA vs. Healthcare MBA

    Thanks for the info! Def some things to

  5. ACNP Programs in South FL

    AngelRN27 posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Good Afternoon All, I am finishing up my BSN in 2017 and plan on pursuing my ACNP (Acute Care Nurse Practitioner) soon after. I wanted to get some input on the programs that are available in the South...

  6. ACNP Programs in South FL

    AngelRN27 replied to AngelRN27's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks for the advice, BuyerBeware. My choices are limited because (1) I need to stay local and (2) as per what I've been able to find on my own, there aren't really that many ACNP programs out there,...

  7. Starting IVs

    AngelRN27 replied to Cindycin37's topic in Medical-Surgical

    The rationale behind starting distally and working proximally is that if you blow/damage a proximal vein (further up) then all veins communicating with that vein will run into that same...

  8. Nurse to Patient Ratio is obsolete???

    AngelRN27 replied to journeygrl's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    This thread should be moved to LTC; LTACH is not the same as LTC/SNF/Rehab/Nursing

  9. Census-related cancellations?

    AngelRN27 posted a topic in Nurse Management

    Fellow managers/supervisors: I work at an LTACH facility and recently we've been in somewhat of a census drought, which of course has led to census-related cancellations often--especially of nursing...

  10. Census-related cancellations?

    AngelRN27 replied to AngelRN27's topic in Nurse Management

    Thanks for all of your responses. I already prepared a new spreadsheet (by name) and printed it for use by charge nurses. I left for vacation after that and will be returning to work tonight, so I...

  11. Census-related cancellations?

    AngelRN27 replied to AngelRN27's topic in Nurse Management

    Thank you for all the replies. I think I'm going to suggest we use a list of staff names instead the method we're using now. It's essentially a tiny printed Excel calendar and the names are printed...

  12. Census-related cancellations?

    AngelRN27 replied to AngelRN27's topic in Nurse Management

    We tried that originally, but then apparently the spreadsheet wouldn't save right across all users on our intranet... not really sure

  13. Is it normal that my school doesn't teach us IVs?

    AngelRN27 replied to Annie_1101's topic in General Students

    I straddle the fence on this one... My university taught us both IV & foley insertion, as well as the maintenance of both. They were introduced with "theory" (common...

  14. CCRN / Laura Gasparis

    AngelRN27 replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in Critical Care

    I realize that the CCRN is more comprehensive, but just as an aside, I passed the PCCN with 83% only using the resources provided by the AACN. No DVD's, no expensive reviews. Their resources are...

  15. Sterile Water for Enteral Feeding Tubes?

    AngelRN27 replied to med_geek's topic in Critical Care

    ^^^ This. The gut is not sterile, so I'm not sure how effective using sterile water for NG/OG tubes would be. Did those of you who use this method at your hospitals have some sort of evidence-based...

  16. SOFA Scoring

    AngelRN27 replied to Jlucasrn92's topic in Critical Care

    Hello, How new is this SOFA scoring? I currently work a PCU/ICU and haven't heard of this yet. We currently use the SIRS method. I am also PCCN certified (granted by the AACN) who uses the latest...

  17. NG insertion Doctors VS nurses

    AngelRN27 replied to BendyEm's topic in Critical Care

    Hello BendyEm, I assume by "site" the NG, you are referring to insertion? (that's not really a term we use in the US) Personally, I have been working ICU/Step-down for 3 years and have never even...
