    Free removal of stitches... in the ER

    HeartsOpenWide replied to vampiregirl's topic in General Nursing

    Probably because the charge to remove the sutures is included in the application of the sutures...at least this is how it was done in the office I worked at. Sure the office can do follow-up care, but...

    HeartsOpenWide replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    We had to learn gtt rates in nursing school. Our teacher said that it was good to know in case of a disaster and there was no power...or some kind of disaster that caused you to need to start an IV in...

    Am I going to be in school forever?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to peytonsmom's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    What my understanding is that the MSN is what you need to practice...meaning you can not just have your BSN and then take the classes to get your CNM without the extra classes for your MSN (I know an...

    Can we make a list of NCLEX myths? Like :answering the last question correct means you pass, the # of questions you get is randomized

    Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You must live in an area with MEDwifes and not MIDwifes...the CNMs in my area are awesome...you must have a bias against CNMs, that's really sad. Don't get me wrong, I am friends with a lot of lay...

    Building/gaining confidence

    HeartsOpenWide replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    HeartsOpenWide replied to NursingIs4CoolPeople's topic in General Students

    Well, actually midwife means with woman....the wife part mean woman (the client) not the practitioner. So if you were to say midhusband you would be saying with husband or with male...although I have...

    CNA to CMA

    HeartsOpenWide replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I do not understand why you would want CMA. First of all CMAs do not work in LTC, the work in doctors offices. Second, if you have 15yrs ex. as a CNA and are going for your LPN you really do not need...

    ADN vs BSN bias, grrrrr

    HeartsOpenWide replied to dinah77's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would understand if this hospital only hires BSN why they would not have ASNs for interns...but that does not sound like it is the case; no it doesn't seem fair, especially if they do hire ASN...

    HeartsOpenWide replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing
