Hello, Sorry for the delay in response, been busy passing nursing school..LOL!! I was an AP student, so never did block 2 as traditional student, I have friends in block 2 right now and they are doing well. I have enjoyed my time at Estrella and als...

Also no matter where you go it is what you are willing to put into it, it hasn't been easy, but worth it. Good luck

Yes I will be finished with capstone and all done may 14, so almost there. Yes I would recommend estrella for nursing school. They have worked with me on a few issues, have good instructors. I know a lot of the CEP students and they like it also, the...

Going good, finished OB and PEDs,just started Medsurg. Passing so far, and clinicals have been good so far also. Any word on your start date?

BTW, clinicals for this block 3 are on Sunday, saturday and Friday (at least for my group), Thank goodness not back to back at this point,so should have time to do a good care plan and paperwork, I am sure it will vary,depending on the block and diff...

2 years, wow I got so lucky, did the lpn with no waitlist, worked for a couple years while finishing prereqs, applied for block 3 and got accepted within 2 weeks. Nursing school to this point has been challenging, I enjoy medical and have a backgroun...

Will be starting at EMCC on the 25th block 3. Was a choice between GCC and EMCC, I chose EMCC, because I went to LPN there. How long is their waiting list to start?

Found out how,on my own with a little more digging. Thanks

Ok new, beautiful day, not as much coffee today! I do see how original post was confusing, man on ground was not patient of said property, but a maintenance man, no code status and had not been down long enough to be deemed "dead", by anyone. The wh...

Anyway, I totally concede the point, I apologize to anyone and everyone if my posts seemed angered or over wrought, was not my intention. I love all my fellow nurses, but am somewhat passionate about helping people that are in need,especially in pre ...

It does state in that one sentence that it is within the scope of RN,RPN and LPN to pronounce if set by guideline of policy, (which would basically be the same as standing orders, which would be set forth by MD and facility policy), but also states t...

http://www.nurses.ab.ca/content/dam/carna/pdfs/DocumentList/Guidelines/PronounceDeath_Sept2011.pdf Fiona59 is this the link you wanted?

Depending on state, as long as the provider is not getting compensation for care of that person they should be covered under good samaritan law, again depending on state. Then we are still only talking about bls care, not open chest heart massage, et...

So when you do a pronouncement assesment you go ahead and call the funeral home and family on your own with no call or advisement from an RN or MD without any further verification?

DNR is totally different, if you don't have DNR on record/in hand and you donot provide basic care yes basic care as I stated in original statement, then absolutely ignorant and wrong. In situation that was stated in my original post we still worked ...

stand corrected on that,however in az as far as I read on BON, an LPN cannot do an actual assesment,but collect the data to be provided to RN/MD, then how would an LPN be able to pronounce death with her assesment? To do nothing IMHO is ignorant and ...

I have dealt with this a couple of times when I was an EMT, arrived at a call at a assisted living facility with an LTC on same property for a cardiac code (ems called by grounds worker/coworker prior to nurse arrival). Upon arrival nurse report was...

I dropped out of high school at 16, took chemistry at 43 for first time, was difficult but passed with an A in lecture and an A+ in lab. Another poster mentioned dimensional analysis earlier, start practicing now for chemistry as well as nursing will...

Don't beat yourself up about it, pharm is a hard course and there is a reason they make you retake it before doing the bridge program. Evaluate your weaknesses in pharm and do again, study smarter and communicate with your instructor problems you hav...

Study in bed with coffee early morning(usually before 5am). Before school in a group, very rarely in evening.

I would love to do flight ccn, but have been told I am way too big (6'4", 280). They watch their weight pretty closely on life flights.

My all time favorite "it hurts when I do this", favorite answer "then don't do that", followed with maybe you should see the doc about that.

I agree with applying in person, online resumes very often are discarded by the "auto trash can", definantly in person is better. If in person is not an option, visit HR in some places that you would want to work and ask for advise/opinions from peop...

I do no understand why they make you wait, it is so frustrating and nerve racking. When I took NCLEX PN I swore after the test that I had failed, 75 questions, took me 45 min, was so upset! The AZBON had it posted within 24 hours,even before pearson ...
