  1. What are the most common positions for new grads?

    applesxoranges replied to RHill9919's topic in General Students

    I have an ER job waiting due to my

  2. Lidocaine Spray

    applesxoranges replied to Ruba's topic in Patient Medications

    Oh, I didn't even think about it being in the groin area. I was just thinking over all. I don't know if I would use anything near there considering some formulas of nair aren't even supposed to be...

  3. Lidocaine Spray

    applesxoranges replied to Ruba's topic in Patient Medications

    Well, it depends on how much lidocaine is in it and whether or not it is prescription. You can get lidocaine gel over the counter. It's 0.8% lidocaine. I use it for sunburn all the time and it helps....

  4. Frustrated with RN-BSN classes

    applesxoranges replied to microkate's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think the other benefit of a BSN is that they can expand the community class more and require them to go to the health department for two days. Another BSN program rotated them through other mental...

  5. AACN Article - Baccalaureate-Prepared Nurses Are More Likely to Secure Jobs

    applesxoranges replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    Also, I would be interested in seeing the ADN rate based on the same methods

  6. AACN Article - Baccalaureate-Prepared Nurses Are More Likely to Secure Jobs

    applesxoranges replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    I am also wondering what they are including if they include part-time data into the

  7. Checking G-tube placement

    applesxoranges replied to Compassion_x's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Actually the first link I pulled up said that radiological evidence was the good standard for NG tube placement in pediatrics from the site you provided. However, it also admit that it would...

  8. New grad : part time vs full time position! Help!

    applesxoranges replied to KimberlyRN89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Were you offered a position for

  9. How was your peds class (theory portion)?

    applesxoranges replied to barcode120x's topic in General Students

    My instructor covered the main diseases and eliminated a lot of it information that she felt like we could figure out through med-surg. I did well on the peds ATI though. Other instructors tried to...

  10. Stupid ? Is a tech the same thing as a CNA?

    applesxoranges replied to vettechtoRN's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    In my area, it depends on the hospital system. We use patient care techs whereas another system uses nursing assistants and a third uses nurse techs. They're all similar roles here. However, I think...

  11. Frustrated with RN-BSN classes

    applesxoranges replied to microkate's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    From what I understand, the BSN component was mostly to "expand" student's understanding of culture/fluff disciplines like history and to increase management skills. However, my ADN program is better...

  12. My GPA is completely shot. Do I have a chance of getting into any school?

    applesxoranges replied to MorningStars's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could try an LPN to RN school. The route this way may be more expensive though. The LPN to RN routes usually have slightly shorter waiting lists. You could also try a school in the middle of...

  13. What order should I take my RN nursing classes. Plz help me

    applesxoranges replied to Maya12's topic in General Students

    Her story doesn't add up then. How is she failing physiology if anatomy is a pre-req that she has not done? Unless she is transferring to a different

  14. Online RN to BSN program with the most clinical time?

    applesxoranges replied to mtcorias's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't actually know of any programs that offer an RN to BSN with clinical time. Some have a "capstone"

  15. Got to use my neuro skills in real life!

    applesxoranges replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    The biggest issue is that she was presenting herself as medically trained when she stepped

  16. What order should I take my RN nursing classes. Plz help me

    applesxoranges replied to Maya12's topic in General Students

    I would take the W and then retake the physiology class by itself. Then take anatomy by itself. Then take microbiology. These classes are too important to screw up and one W may be okay but you don't...

  17. Graduate Nurse

    applesxoranges replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

    Finally a graduate nurse too! Waiting on my school to submit my info to the

  18. can't you just call me if you say you will?!

    applesxoranges replied to anashenwrath's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm in a similar boat right now. I have not heard anything either way and it's been 2 weeks. Unfortunately, one week was Thanksgiving so I don't know if that threw a wrench into the powers' plans in...

  19. Dreading L&D/Peds

    applesxoranges replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    Is your L&D/peds rotations at the end? If it is, I would recommend talking to your caregiver about whether or not you should wait till you finish. I know personally I wouldn't be able to handle...

  20. Advice for a prospective Nursing Student

    applesxoranges replied to AnnaRuthBeckel's topic in General Students

    I would skip LPN because a lot of LPNs have issues finding jobs, at least in my area. I would go for a BSN if you can but an ADN is an option too, but a lot of places want you to go for a BSN to be...

  21. ATI Exit Exam

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Students

    Well, a 97% to pass is like a 76% overall I think. We were given numbers but I didn't keep them. If we do not get a 97% we have to take the virtual ATI and get "green lighted". To pass, we need to...

  22. ATI Exit Exam

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Students

    No but I retook a bunch of the ati tests. I think we're still doing the 2010 because the 2013 wasn't ready when we did our first

  23. Got to use my neuro skills in real life!

    applesxoranges replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    In general there is no reason to remove it unless it is obstructing the airway. You put them in manual c-spine. The c-spine doesn't do anything for concussions. The key about the boxing situation is...

  24. Anyone know of any Associates programs here that don't require pre-requisites

    applesxoranges replied to nursefan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school has a plan with the pre-reqs built in, but since there is no waiting list and being admitted is based off of points which you earn through a variety of sources including grades based off of...

  25. Got to use my neuro skills in real life!

    applesxoranges replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't have advertised myself as any type of healthcare provider because you are not licensed. The main issue is you are presenting yourself as someone with knowledge and if you accidentally gave...
