   PAjama_Mama posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

   Hello all, I am an ER nurse, but I am posting this here because I would rather get the scoop right from the true experts. The other day I had a preterm neonate who was born at 34 weeks gestation and...

2. Which classes are easy or difficult for ADN to BSN at UTA?

   PAjama_Mama replied to txnurse2015's topic in University of Texas Arlington

   I dropped the Algebra and US History courses. Algebra's online instruction was terrible. They would give an example of something new and show you steps A and C and assume you knew B. I am a "see one...

   Hello all! My family and I are relocating to the Lancaster/Hershey area at the end of this (2014) school year, and I am wondering if anyone can give me advice or information on working conditions...

4. Why can't I do everything a RN does as a LPN? We should be equal.

   PAjama_Mama replied to SweetPoo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

7. Administering Narcan: Fast or Slow?

   PAjama_Mama posted a topic in Emergency

   I'm new to the ER and had to give my first dose of Narcan last night. The nurse that was orienting me told me to push it very slowly to keep the pt from vomiting, so I pushed 1mL over about 3 minutes....

8. Penn State Hershey nurse residency

   PAjama_Mama replied to babybluelife's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

   PAjama_Mama replied to babybluelife's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

   haha babybluelife - I actually responded to that email and asked to put SICU for my 2nd choice (they offered it for 1st or 2nd only, and I had it as my 3rd). Thank goodness! I didn't want to look...

    PAjama_Mama replied to babybluelife's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing
