  3. Fastest route to the heart via IV access?

    Soran replied to Soran's topic in Emergency

    For those saying EJ, I was speaking for IVs that RNs (at least in my hospital) are allowed to obtain. I would agree an EJ would be fastest, but I was speaking more in terms for which arm. We had...

    Soran replied to HappyKYRN's topic in Emergency

    Soran replied to alexisjaneen99's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  10. How many of you precept nursing students?

    Soran replied to SassyTachyRN's topic in School

  15. ATI Predictor Exam

    Soran replied to Toadd35's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My school requires us to do the ATI green light program, which consists of a lot of work and I have to complete that before they will allow me to schedule my exam, and I currently lack the funds to...

  16. ATI Predictor Exam

    Soran replied to Toadd35's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    While I find the ATI books contradict a lot of information in my other nursing books, my instructors believe that ATI is the best possible way for us all to pass. We had a live session review, which...
