  1. Transferring Credit from Aspen University

    Ann.E posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    So I have been researching online schools for what feels like forever. Every time I think I have found a school I want to attend, there seems to be a road block. Currently I am trying to decide...

    Ann.E posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    I have a question for those who use medication scanners and that administer insulin. At our hospital we have insulin that is given, but in order to scan it we have to scan these little stickers. We...

  4. WGU statistics completed in 1 wk

    Ann.E replied to $$ICU-RN$$'s topic in Western Governors University

    I also just finished stats through WGU and was surprised at how quickly I was able to move through it. I have taken a stats class previously, but to be honest the class was a complete joke. I really...

    Ann.E replied to Ann.E's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hello, I was just going to give everyone a quick update. I started at WGU on the first of November and since then I have completed five classes. I wasn't quite sure if I would enjoy the online...

  6. How do you scan insulin?

    Ann.E replied to Ann.E's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Thanks everyone for the replies. Unfortunately, while I would love to tell my hospital that each patient needs their own vial in their room, we are a rural hospital with not a lot of funds. I did tell...

  7. 7pm-7am shift

    Ann.E replied to Momof8CNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I work night shift I try to get up every hour and take a 15 minute walk. Sometimes you have time for this and sometimes you don't, but I find that when I do this it really helps to wake me up. We...

  8. Considering a Job in Urgent Care

    Ann.E replied to nurse7502's topic in General Nursing

    I currently work on a med/surg floor, but before that I went back and forth between an urgent care and primary care clinic. I have to agree that I think most nurses who work in urgent cares get...

    Ann.E replied to urbangirl2020's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am not sure where you are with this situation, but I just wanted to give you a little bit of encouragement. In my experience and in talking with other nurses who went to other schools, nursing...

  10. What is the best NCLEX review course or question bank?

    Ann.E replied to aldrich21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would have to agree that Priority, Delegation and Assignment was awesome! It helps a ton with figuring out what tasks can be given to another RN, LPN and then aides. It's not a very big book either,...

  11. Would you live in a rural community for nursing?

    Ann.E replied to thenursehopeful's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently working in a rural hospital and I am really enjoying it. Our CNO has already talked to me about which area I would be interested in cross-training to (I mentioned ER). We have people...

  12. About how many questions can I expect to be asked at hospital interview? How many did you

    Ann.E replied to Jaellys's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have had three different jobs in various health care areas and each one had one or two sheets of paper with interview questions on it. Overall I didn't feel that the questions were very hard. Just a...

  13. Least Favorite Things Patients Say

    Ann.E replied to remotefuse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My favorite is when the narc seekers get admitted and then when I don't give them the big D right away because the doctor hasn't ordered it, they say things like "wow I thought nurses could just do...

  14. NCLEX Tips

    Ann.E replied to ATN1215's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have been a nurse for just a little bit over a year and took NCLEX last August. It was very overwhelming for me at first to figure out how to study. I tried a lot of different approaches, sticking...

  15. Wgu bsn start date 11/1/15

    Ann.E replied to BrittanyMcGheeCole's topic in Western Governors University

    I am starting in November as well! I have 37 credits to take. Going to be taking sociology, stats and biochem first. Is there a FB page for the WGU nursing program? I saw the main FB page, but I...

  16. Transferring Credit from Aspen University

    Ann.E replied to Ann.E's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for all your feedback. In the end I decided to go with WGU. I did look into a couple schools that said (without saying it officially) that they may not accept classes...

  17. Transferring Credit from Aspen University

    Ann.E replied to Ann.E's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was sorta afraid of that with Aspen University. I guess a couple hold ups for me with WGU is that pass/fail grading. I don't know what I would like to do beyond bachelors, but I do know I do want to...

  18. Newer nurse defining a new role...No idea where to start.

    Ann.E replied to LoliLolly's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Ann.E posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

  20. switching from ambulatory to hospital?

    Ann.E replied to lgof's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

  21. Just got a job interview in ambulatory care! Need advice!

    Ann.E replied to laurenkabob's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I work in a primary care office and I actually do very little referrals or prescription refills. I work with a lot of MAs and they do almost all of those things. What I spend my days doing are...

  22. Favorite Pediatric Immunization Techniques

    Ann.E replied to RNstorm's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I second what nursefrom cali said. That's the same technique that I use and it's super helpful. Even though they can still kick a little bit, if the parents help to hold their arms it works every time...

    Ann.E replied to kchant311's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Ann.E replied to Oedgar's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic
