  1. How does an ER run?

    OCRN3 posted a topic in Emergency

    I am totally new to the ER setting and I was wondering how it all runs in California? I know the ratio is 4 to 1, and I also know that they see the most emergent people first. Can someone run through...

  2. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

    OCRN3 replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just to clarify, I'm not against more science courses. It would be a great idea to add them, but I think that the reason some don't require it, is because of the background nurses

  3. Just as important but less intensed?

    OCRN3 replied to astonish31's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    So true! RN school was very easy, it was a repeat of LVN school but slightly more in depth. Clinicals were a joke because we did a lot of CNA work like as in LVN school. The only "RN" thing I did in...

  4. Womens Health Nurse Practitioner

    OCRN3 replied to fnpltc's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What does she do there? From what I know, as a NP your should only practice in what you went to school for. A women's health NP has only been educated in women's health I believe. All NPs are able to...

  6. Advanced Nursing Lacking "Medical Science"

    OCRN3 replied to matthewandrew's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know but I think I had a lot of vigorous science classes for nursing school. I had to take multiple biology classes before I could even set foot into an anatomy class. Even before that I had...

  9. New Grad, New Mom, & ICU Offer?

    OCRN3 replied to cp2012's topic in Nursing Career

    Is the only reason you want to go to the floor is because you will lose skills? In all honesty being a mom changed the way I thought about work. Working 12s on the floor with very sick people didn't...

  10. The coveted Monday thru Friday job

    OCRN3 replied to LTCNS's topic in General Nursing

    I am undecided too. I do know that since I have been working a M-F job I am very untolerant of findings another position that makes me work every other weekend and holidays. Everytime I get an itch to...

  11. Med Surg Then and Now

    OCRN3 replied to Lev's topic in Medical-Surgical

    More paper work, hourly rounding paper work, core measure paper work, pressure ulcer paperwork, sitter paper work, and now computer charting. They are removing our nursing assistants due to lack of...

  13. Would you commute an hour to a job you wanted?

    OCRN3 replied to nursebythesea's topic in General Nursing

    Yes an hour is not too bad. Make a list of the pros and cons of the jobs. What if the only con is the hour drive and there is like 20 pros?!? I think you need to think of both good and bad and if the...

  15. Abuse in Nursing

    OCRN3 replied to stickit34's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I actually quit a job that I loved because I could not handle one more day of abuse. This patient came to the nurses station and verbally abused me in front of all my colleagues. Although they were...

  16. Should I apply to nursing school for next fall..or wait?

    OCRN3 replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school is stressful, I would wait. For the sake of you and your baby's health I would wait and settle in as a mom. I was pregnant during LVN school way back when and it was very hard to do....

  17. The coveted Monday thru Friday job

    OCRN3 replied to LTCNS's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, of we all work 12 hour shifts then we could be much happier. Since most of America is on a M-F 9-5, it works out better for a family. I love 12s if I had no weekends or holidays. All...

  18. How many patients are you expected to see daily?

    OCRN3 replied to URGR8T's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I must be in the minority each provider, we are expected to see 8-11 pt. Per day. They give us more than enough time. Not sure why though, I could probably see more than that if I wanted

  19. Why is it so hard to find a preceptor?

    OCRN3 replied to WRNCEN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Minute clinics are a great way to start out your clinical experience! They give you a very common ailments and easy things to start out with. I think those are a great

  21. West Coast University

    OCRN3 replied to 1sildiaz's topic in California Nursing

    Really? You guys need to stop bashing each other's school. In the big scheme of things I bet if you fail to save a patient, make a huge mistake on the floor, or just plain do something wrong, no one...

  22. West Coast University

    OCRN3 replied to 1sildiaz's topic in California Nursing

    Back in 1999 all you needed to get into UcLa school of nursing was a 2.5. They have only raised the standards since everyone wants to be a nurse. At the community colleges a 2.0 was acceptable also....

    OCRN3 replied to 1sildiaz's topic in California Nursing

    Hate to break it to you guys, but west Coast is also offering a masters in physical therapy and a PharmD. So I think a MD or DO program is in the making soon. just saying... They will be over...

  25. Written Job Offer Only??

    OCRN3 replied to rmtemsguy's topic in General Nursing
