  8. Herniated cervical disk

    grannynurse FNP student replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

  10. Whose responsibility

    grannynurse FNP student replied to grannynurse FNP student's topic in Home Health

    grannynurse FNP student replied to weirdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Actually the push to make the BSN the only entry level, for RN's, started back in the middle 60s when I first started in my diploma program. It was defined by the ANA and has been pushed ever since....

  17. Quality of education is frightning

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Neurotransmitter's topic in New York Nursing

    Not again. A classmate of mine taught in that program in the 70s. One of the reason she left was their low standards. I guess not much has changed.

    grannynurse FNP student replied to CarrieH's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  23. Diabetic Pet Peeves

    grannynurse FNP student replied to bjs54321's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

  24. Diabetic Pet Peeves

    grannynurse FNP student replied to bjs54321's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    What upsets me is the people who insist that everyone's fbs should be in the 60's or low 70's without taking into consideration the impact of such numbers. It is just now being investigated as to the...

  25. Diabetic Pet Peeves

    grannynurse FNP student replied to bjs54321's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I have yet to find any research supporting these new values. I do know, when my fbs is 65 or below I suffer from the symptoms of hypoglycemia. But that is me.
