    Transfer codes to ER not ICU

    Murse901 replied to MADDOG70's topic in Emergency

    Not an EMTALA violation. Sorry. For your consideration:

    LPN VS RN

    Murse901 replied to pcarter2324's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    That's just a personal decision based on your current situation. If you feel that you have to do a nights/weekend program while working, and there is not a nights/weekend RN program, do the LPN...

    manly scrubs

    Murse901 replied to utadahikaru's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just wear Cherokee unisex v-neck top and cargo pants. The shirt just has 1 pocket, no lame stomach pockets or whatever they're called. Cargo pants have a crapload of pockets for all your manly...

    Best place to order scrubs online?

    Murse901 replied to Dawn Vylet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Weird. I've always used Allheart for online orders and they came through pretty fast. I've probably ordered about half a dozen times from them. On the other hand, I did suggest them to another nurse...

    Wash scrubs with regular laundry?

    Murse901 replied to jdsp87's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Other than the color issue, I don't see any reason to separate. Think about it. If you're worried that your scrubs will contaminate your other clothes, doesn't that also mean that if you're washing...

    Nasal Filters

    Murse901 replied to mamayogibear's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Sounds like a good way to get aspiration pneumonia. Not too long ago, I saw some commercial for some kind of nasal ointment that was supposed to help prevent germs. I don't remember the name of it...

    Can you wear any kind of scrubs you want? (nurses)

    Murse901 replied to wnb4's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Depends on the facility. There are many hospitals in this area that are color-coded. Most nursing homes and non-hospital facilities are either any solid color or free-for-all. What's kind of crappy at...

    Any success stories in Tennessee?

    Murse901 replied to carrie_c's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Be prepared to take a trip to Nashville to explain your history to the Board, depending on how severe they think the charges are. Having said that, if you are up front and honest about everything, can...

    Question about Lynn's CPNE Workshop

    Murse901 replied to SHARWELL's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Went to Lynn's workshop, and she was definitely one of the reasons I passed CPNE on the first try with no PCS or lab repeats. When you register, she will email you some information on how to prepare...

    HELP! 1 class short of my degree!

    Murse901 replied to debstmomy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    +1 for CLEP. Also consider DSST/DANTES. If your school accepts both, there are many Humanities exams between the

    Has anyone in Tennessee heard of Accelerated Learning Center? PLEASE HELP!

    Murse901 replied to allizfulloflove's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    While I can certainly empathize with your position as a business owner, this is not really a valid defense to presenting your program as a nursing school. There are other ways to promote your page on...

    Has anyone in Tennessee heard of Accelerated Learning Center? PLEASE HELP!

    Murse901 replied to allizfulloflove's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I can certainly understand the owner of the business in question wanting to come here to defend the business. However, having reviewed the rnsooner website, it does seem deceptive to use the words...

    Hospital ER relocates and treats patients to next door coffee shop (Tim Hortons)

    Murse901 replied to RN2B123's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see a problem with the location. According to the article, the restaurant was inside the hospital, not "next door" as your title suggests. The story should focus on how overcrowded the...

    Transfer codes to ER not ICU

    Murse901 replied to MADDOG70's topic in Emergency

    This is not an EMTALA violation. If you're uncomfortable with this happening in your department, you would be better served by bringing it to the attention of your supervisors rather than trying to...

    Any Chamberlain RN-to-BSN that have gone on to FNP?

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This is the response I got back today from the TN BON when I asked if Chamberlain's RN to BSN was approved by TN. So, it looks like it doesn't matter as long as you already have initial licensure....

    Anyone going to Mansfield Ohio for CPNE soon?

    Murse901 replied to hotnurse84's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Any Chamberlain RN-to-BSN that have gone on to FNP?

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not sure if this affects anyone else in this thread, but I got some bad news from the Admissions Coordinator I've been working with at Chamberlain. Apparently, the TN Board of Nursing has made a...

    are jobs on craigslist legitimate?

    Murse901 replied to sallyjane's topic in General Nursing

    Craigslist ads are hit and miss in my area. Sometimes you'll find some good leads, sometimes it's a scam or one of the technical schools advertising (that one never made sense to me - I already have...

    What was the amount of your 1st paycheck as a nurse?

    Murse901 replied to brina's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One of the worst necroposts I've seen in some time. This thread is over 5 years old, and the OP hasn't posted anything on Allnurses since

    do we really need to study?

    Murse901 replied to LaMorLPN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here's what I did to prep. It worked for me. I loaded up my Saunders NCLEX study CD for the practice tests and answered a TON of questions, always reading the rationales on the ones I got wrong or the...

    TN License question

    Murse901 replied to pirello77's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    It just means they haven't issued your license yet. Does your status also say "Application in progress"? The wording is a little misleading. But don't worry. It's not
