  3. Will my EMT experience help get a job as an ER-Nurse?

  12. Narcan pens for kids to use on parents?

    I think we'd just end up with adults getting poked by Narcan pens that are trying to sleep. Honestly, how would a child have the assessment skills to know whether their parents are OD'ing or asleep?...
  13. NCLEX RN Results in California

    Sorry to say but it varies quite a bit. I've had friends that took over 2 months to get results and I got mine in 1 week. It's just the way the BRN works I'm afraid Just keep checking your BRN...
  14. What do you consider a heavy patient assignment?

    I dunno, anyone over 300lbs?
  15. New CNA troubles/experience
