I got hired at a local hospital February 15th. Passed the boards April 13th, but didn't find out until about June 1st. I got my CCRN cert... I'm not even sure what that is anymore... I don't think...
Can't make a wrong choice when it's a Littmann! I plan on getting a middle-of-the-line Littmann... right now I have a lightweight, and I will be trading up, soon. It's good enough to pick up mitral...
I'm doing better. I still don't understand how you people work three days in a row. My social life slipped away a long time ago, and i'm trying to find my way back into the gym. Today was actually...
Forget it, I must be bipolar, because I am feeling a little better. As you can see I am a very impatient person, and a perfectionist. For better or worse, nursing is stuck with me for the time...
Sorry for the late reply... I just woke up. I think I misled everyone into thinking I work in critical care. I work in a regular med-surg. I don't work in any other field because I intend to go...
I graduated December '04 from Cerritos, got my CCRN, then passed the boards in April. I'm unable to register for any classes at Cerritos (lost priority registration). Same situation with every...

Yeah, I always try to stick with the patient's home schedule. It would be torture to give 40mg Lasix BID and have the second dose at 2100. At my hospital pharm would give you a hard time changing...

Hello, I graduated with an ADN from Cerritos College this past December, enrolled in Kaplan, and I just lost access to their online videos an less than an hour ago. I have been studying between 5 to...
Hi, For anyone who is interested, tomorrow's the day. I've cut my studying time to about 4 hours for the past few days; just taking two tests a day and reviewing them. I've tried to take my mind off...

Maybe I'm too new at this stuff to be posting, but I don't have too much of a problem with IVs. It's prob my fave nursing procedure! I've put in quite a few IVs and after a while, I got the hang of...
Well, I tried to relax a little, and I managed to study about 4 hours, also. I feel a little better. I scored a 67% on the Nursing 3000 CD, and I don't feel too bad. 3 days left! Please,...
Cerritos College has an excellent ADN program, and I can not stress that enough! Kaplan is an prep course that claims a 95% passing rate for those who follow their instructions. They teach you a...
