Just wondering if endoscopy Nursing is considered acute care? For example, working in pre-assessment screening or the PACU of a endoscopy center. Is this nursing role considered acute care?

Well it’s because a job application ask if I’ve worked in acute care. I’ve been working at an endoscopy center for 3 years in the recovery room and I’m not sure if it’s considered acute care, especially since it’s ambulatory. Nonetheless patients are...

So I'm just wondering what would be the consequences of having a degree from a school that lost accreditation after you have graduated and passed nclex? Would hiring manager look down on that? Does it still count as 'having graduated from an accredit...

Hi I am contemplating going to SUNY Delhi. Just wondering if anyone that is enrolled on online RN-bsn could give me some info. Intensity of classes? How fast can you finish? How often are exams? The practicum courses, are there also papers and exams ...

Hello all, just wondering how a RN-BSN degree from WGU is viewed by hiring managers? Anyone ever had any problems? Considering it's a online program with no brick and mortar university. Any opinions.

"Um nurse, whenever your ready we need you in room 201"

"So I'm guessing the enema worked?"

"It's ok, his stool sample came back negative for C-DIFF"

I'm wondering what happens if you fail a course. Are you allowed to repeat? How many times? Does it affect your GPA if you fail a course? How about if you think you know the material and go straight for the assessment and you fail? Just wondering wha...

So I have a question. Say after you complete your degree at WGU and you want to transfer to another school. Will the transcript from WGU say "GPA 3.0" or will it say something else implying the equivalent of 3.0gpa? (Just asking wondering if it will ...

Which online school are you attending? Coney Island hospital seems pretty good with hiring. A old workmate got hired there as OR nurse with very little experience.

Of course I know national accreditation is important. But other than CCNE and ACEN accreditation does it matter which online school you choose? Do employers really care where you got your degree from? Any opinions?

I split my last semester. At that point I was okay with finishing a little later than planned over not finishing at all. I saw many fail out of nursing school because they put too much on their plate. Now, I am not saying you should do what I did. Yo...

Me too. I love my job. All the nurses are wonderful. (Except one, but she's not a mean girl, she is just lazy and I hate lazy nurses) We gel well, as they say it. You gotta find another workplace and leave those haters behind.

Wow, thats intersting... What hospital was this??

Hey! How is it going in the program? Any advice? I have a few questions, would it be ok if I PM you?

Very good points you all bring up. Thanks for your input!

Many of us have had a similar experience. At my first RN job, on my very first day, I was given 8 patients and my preceptor had her own set of 8 patients (talk about short staffed) I was so scared. But you learn so much. That first job experience has...

If I were in your situation I would take the per diem. Never hurts to get extra cash. Soon you will find another job and you could have this one on the side for extra money. But you must ask for more money. 27/hour is too low for a per diem. Never bu...

Yes. As long as you went to an accredited school. And their tuition is the same for in state and out of state students.

If you work at a endoscopy/colonoscopy center in the recovery room (not procedure room) are you considered a PACU or Endoscopy nurse?

How do you juggle work and studying for nursing courses? Any suggestions?

Hi everyone! I know this thread is old. But I was wondering if any of you did the RN-BSN at SUNY delhi? How did it go? Do you recommend it? There's very little info on this school and I would really appreciate any advice or info regarding this schoo...

In regards to endoscopy and colonoscopies we usually do a finger stick on patients with DM pre procedure. We always have a standing order for all patients, so it's up to the RN to use her judgement in regards to when to do a fingerstick. I always do ...
