  1. FNP/ENP questions

    I don't believe there is an ENP exam either! It might be a good route to start out getting my FNP then getting the post-masters ACNP. But then I would have to choose between adult-gero or peds ACNP....

  6. **HELP!!*** New & Lost to the Nursing World

    Some schools may require different pre-reqs. Most of them should be the same though (A&P, Chemistry, psych, sociology, micro, english, etc.). I know that the University of Cincinnati will be...
  7. RN and EMT recertification

    I didn't think that it would. I'm getting my EMT-B course this summer, and I graduate with my BSN next summer so I was just curious. I plan to continue to volunteer once I am an RN, though. Isn't...

  11. Felt pretty proud of myself!

    I have been working as an ER tech/PCA for about 4 1/2 months now in a level 1 trauma center, and have been through a lot already! But one of the most memorable things that has happened to me thus far...
  12. Is a paramedic degree required?

    Alright, cool. Thank
  13. Felt pretty proud of myself!

    Hmm...I don't know why it is showing up as BSN, RN. I never even noticed until you mentioned it. I went into my settings and none of those credentials are check marked, but they are still showing up...

  20. I think I might have blown a vein?

    I was practicing IV skills with a classmate, and I attempted to insert an IV. Everything went pretty good in the beginning from what I could tell. I went into the vein at about a 15 degree angle,...
  21. I think I might have blown a vein?

    It really does help! You can't tell if you blew a vein on a mannequin
  22. I think I might have blown a vein?

    Well, we are only supposed to practice on mannequins in the school. We set aside our own time to practice on each other
  23. I think I might have blown a vein?

    I believe that is what I did wrong then. I got flash, then went in a bit further when I should've just threaded the needle. Thank
  24. I think I might have blown a vein?

    Okay,thank you. Besides me blowing the vein, do these steps sounds correct? 1) insert needle at 10-15 degree angle 2) get blood return 3) pop tourniquet 4) lower needle parallel to vein 5) insert...
  25. I think I might have blown a vein?

    Even if there was no bruising, it would still be blown? Thanks for the
