    inthecosmos replied to pensivern's topic in General Nursing

    Graduated from non-accredited program

    inthecosmos replied to MKYPAL's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My CC is not accredited by the CCNE or NLN because it does not have enough MSN-prepared instructors. Sometimes schools don't have accrediation for slight regulations set forth by accrediation

    inthecosmos replied to J.Allen's topic in General Nursing

    Local Goodwill organizations and Red Crosses provide the course as well. Any local community colleges? My husband renews his CPR on that site and has had no issue, but he works for a LTC

    ABSN or ELMSN-FNP?

    inthecosmos replied to espressome's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    From what I've observed, they're just as long due to the clinical hour portion of the program. I think it depends on where you live. In NC and Virginia, the two areas I'm closest to, they hire FNPs in...

    ABSN or ELMSN-FNP?

    inthecosmos replied to espressome's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So, usually, if you are a FNP you can find jobs in the settings you mention. The only one that is questionable is the NICU setting, I am not 100% sure on the criteria there, but there are Neonatal...

    To wash or not to wash?

    inthecosmos replied to sunflower3,RPN's topic in General Nursing

    You have to do the patient justice. If your co-workers aren't, at the very least, you are. Team baths may be something that will motivate nurses to perform baths. If everyone is pitching in, they'll...
