I am an ER nurse in a freestanding. We do not have a "papoose" board. I am looking for a good video to watch on how to restrain peds pts for sutures. Thanks!

I am looking for information on Forensic Nurse Investigators or Nurse Coroner/Death Investigators. I am not interested in SANE, so I am hoping to talk to someone who went one of these other routes. I am a BSN with 2 years ED experience. The internet ...

I am sorry, I really don't know what they will and will not do. It's all up to the individual circumstance. Best wishes with your nursing career!

Sorry, I am not sure............if you have not already met with financial aid, then you still have some other work to do.........

All they can say is no, so it's worth the asking for sure. I don't think they will apply for you, but I think that they will point you in the right direction and give you advice on where to go. I am thinking that you should have already met with t...

Financial Aid/Grants/Scholarships are based on individual circumstances, not schools. WCU will help you determine what you qualify for and give you the tools to apply/collect. This is the way that all financial aid offices work at all colleges. Th...

Hi there! I am having some trouble understanding the choices available for MSN degrees. I already have my BSN and am currently practicing as a ER nurse in Texas. I would like to go back to school, but am not really interested in Educat...

So, I just want to be clear............ An APRN is not the same track as NP? APRN is a MSN degree choice and I would choose one of the specialties you mentioned above?

I am in Texas. I work nights by choice. 3x 12 hr per week. I am allowed to pick up 1 extra 12 hour shift per week, if I choose. No mandatory OT. Once in a while due to high census, we miss lunch, but we can write it in the exceptions book and ge...

WCU only offers BSN so you will go straight through with no ADN if you attend.

The college does not award or choose financial aid. This decision is made by the government. This is the same for all colleges that participate. WCU participates fully and although I did not personally qualify, I attended with many who did. The...

ok, I think I will give it a try! Thank you!!

Looking for advice on the best English/Spanish - Spanish/English pocket tool. Not looking for anything too thick or heavy since I want to carry it in my scrubs. Thanks!

The only issue I have with using my phone at bedside or while in front of patients/families is the unprofessional "appearance". Some people assume there is not a lot of "helpful" stuff on a phone.

Yes, I do recommend that and to follow up with admissions to make sure they approved all of your transfers.

You must schedule and complete the entrance exam before they will accept you. You will need to schedule an appointment with financial aide after. Once you plan your financing then you sign your final paperwork. They usually move along pretty quick...

I am on a communication committee and need to get some ideas on different communication tools/gear that nurses use between each other while running around the ER. I am looking for something other than the standard "phone" that our call lights roll to...

Each class is 1 day a week but you take 3-4 classes per week, which means you will be on campus/clinicals 3-4 days per week. You will prob be able to work at first, but many reduced their schedules by the end of their degree. The program does get p...

I am a new nurse (Nov, 2014). I work in a large city Level 1 Trauma Center ED (been on my own 3 weeks now). We are located within about 10 mins of a major Children's Hospital, so we don't see a lot of peds pts. I need advice on a pre-teen 3 day cam...

Thanks for responding....... *Healthy Kids - except for routine stuff (Diabetes, ADD, Asthma) *I will be on my own *I will be paid - there are officials that are professional, but volunteers are also utilized *They have a system for distribution that...

For anyone still following this post, I wanted to let you know that I successfully graduated on August 23rd. I start my new job at Methodist Dallas as an ED Nurse Intern tomorrow (9/22). I am scheduled to sit for my NCLEX on Nov 4th. I am currentl...

Yes, I feel like they have more than given me ample opportunity to learn and prepare for the NCLEX. They offer many resources on helping you find a job and there is a NSNA chapter and other campus activities as well.

WCU is not for everyone - it's not a typical college environment or typical college learning style. You have to be very mature in the way you study and the way you process information. You are getting the same amount of info in 9 weeks as you get i...

Mine situation was a little different - this is a 2nd career for me. I am older so the waitlist was what made the decision for me. Time is money. To me it was the same amount as going to a state school and I would finish sooner since I was not goi...

I graduate from the Dallas Campus in late August - my tuition was around $64k including all books, uniforms, ATI Platinum fees, NCLEX fee (1x), BLS & ACLS Certs. I transferred in most pre-reqs. I know it has gone up, but not to $100k. Remember...
