  5. ST alarming on tele mgr but no acute MI

    First of all, I would NOT turn off the alarms on the monitor. This is a big NO NO (pt safety, JCAHO, etc). As the other posters mentioned, there are many reasons the alarms could be going off. Sounds...

  12. University of South Alabama MSN-FNP Program

    I would definitely go ahead with the financial aid. When you go to the FAFSA website, make sure you do the 2010-11 application...for the summer semester. I would also go ahead and do the 2011-12...
  13. IV Fluid/IV Tubing

  21. Has anyone applied to South Alabama ENP (summer 2011)?
