  1. South College Knoxville

    I began working at Ft. Sanders Regional as a student on the oncology floor and stayed after graduation. The 12-hr shifts were difficult on my family, so I'm now working in occupational health for...
  2. I just applied for a job and wondered how it was working for the
  3. Thank you for
  4. South College Knoxville

    My LMU Blount Co. Class of May '07 had a 96.87% NCLEX pass rate. And the two graduates who did not pass the first time passed on the second try. I think it all boils down to how hard a person is...
  5. Question about Private Student Loans.

    I took out private loans to supplement a very, very small academic scholarship I received. Never forget that what you borrow, you will be paying back, with interest. It can amount to a huge monthly...
  6. I have an interview with Gentiva in Knoxville, Tenn., this week. I wondered how they were in this area. I also wonder if I should apply with Maxim. All info is
  7. Thanks for the
  8. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it very
  9. LMU/ROANE clinical info

    Yes, once a week the first semester, twice a week for the second and third semesters, and the last semester is a 60-hour rotation with a preceptor at a hospital or similar setting. What semesters you...
  10. LMU/ROANE clinical info

    Interesting. I wonder if they meant the 'Graduate Nurse Forum', which is for first-year nurses. It's a great
  11. LMU/ROANE clinical info

    BTW, you might get more responses if you post in the 'General Nursing Student' forum. I'm pretty sure this one's for grad students in master's, practitioner and doctoral programs. Good luck to you
  12. LMU/ROANE clinical info

    At LMU, clinicals are 1x/wk the first semester, starting at 7a and ending around 2p. After that it's 2x/wk, roughly the same hours. Clinical rotations for specialities (peds, psych) may have different...
  13. The ERI--what are people's thoughts on this?

    I graduated in May and was in the second class to use ERI exams. First of all, I remember when I took the final ERI test (the one that's supposed to help predict if you'll do well on NCLEX), I noticed...
  14. Tenn RODP MSN?

    Start in January. Met with the advisor last week and was very impressed and encouraged. I look forward to
  15. Lots of reactions to the flu vax this year

    :yeahthat:
  16. Any LMU students?

    I'm an LMU grad, May '07. (It seems so long ago!) If you get accepted into the other schools, do consider them. They're a lot cheaper and I think the education would be just as good. I know Roane...
  17. Specialities Survey

    Hi, All, I am an 'older' nursing student finishing up the first semester of a four-semester RN program. I'm loving it. I've been surprised by the number of people who ask me what specialty area I'm...
  18. Using BP cuff to access certain veins?

    Yeah, cool. Expensive, though.
  19. Using BP cuff to access certain veins?

    What's a belted tourniquet and where do you get
  20. I was written up in nursing school during med-surg clinicals for asking too many questions. The memo said I could ask two questions about something. If I asked again, I would be written up. BTW, I...
  21. Rituxan nurse:pt ratio

    Ditto where I used to work. That's why I left,
  22. So why certify in chemotherapy

    I am a new, older RN who just left an oncology unit to work in occupational health instead. I love oncology -- the patients and families. I love caring for the sickest and nursing their families, too....
  23. One Day in Bangkok

    Wow. Thanks for sharing. I was born in Japan to a Japanese war-bride mom and American GI dad, and spent my first 11 years going to a Japanese hospital, so your narrative really interests me. At work...
  24. Here's a past allnurses thread that might be helpful: https://allnurses.com/forums/f233/care-plans-171944.html Good luck! I remember those careplans.
  25. I, too, love online classes and you've asked an excellent question re: clinical hours. That's where being affiliated with a NIOSH program comes in handy, I suppose. I understand a candidate can...
