    BeachsideRN replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Nursing

    What the hail is a 'capstone', anyway?!

    BeachsideRN replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This is interesting. Sounds very much like my "practicum" for my MPH. I wonder if I could dig it up and put a nursing spin on it when I get to this

    2 month vaccination question

    BeachsideRN replied to nurselove757's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Getting patients in the clinic once is hard enough. Trying to get them to come back several times is a great way to lose them to follow up and have them be left unvax'd. The body is exposed to...

    2 month vaccination question

    BeachsideRN replied to nurselove757's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is kinda scary. Stick with the evidence based schedule set forth by the CDC. Also, even though it is 6 vaccines at 2 months. It's only 2 sticks (1 in each thigh) and an oral solution...

    Getting into Nursing school with a misdemeanor

    BeachsideRN replied to mrs303abuse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History
