    Ruger8mm replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    The arm pain will fade. You are using muscles you aren't used to

  2. does every rn out there hate their job? sonography/x-ray tech instead?

    Ruger8mm replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an Advanced Clinical Sonographer specializing in echo for the last 15 years and I just graduated with my ADN. So take that information for what it's

  3. PALS Certification

    Ruger8mm replied to newmedsurgnurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    PALS is something we all should be proficient in. It's actually easy. Just focus on cardiac meds and rhythm assessments. The algorithms are pretty self explanatory. Definately know Epinephrine,...

  6. Associates or Bachelors??

    Ruger8mm replied to Xar25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Along the lines of this conversation. Some of the hospitals up here consider any bachelor degree and ADN as good as a BSN. I like that

  7. Associates or Bachelors??

    Ruger8mm replied to Xar25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It didn't appear so. At least not in my area. Possibly if I were to move. I didn't explore that option. The ADN school here took all my pre-requisites. Plus my parents let us live in one of their...

  9. Associates or Bachelors??

    Ruger8mm replied to Xar25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That is so dumb. A BSN is all about research and management (with some community health). All of that has little to nothing to do with critical care (except evidence based

  10. Associates or Bachelors??

    Ruger8mm replied to Xar25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It depends on their background. I'm a new grad but I've been in echocardiography for 16 years with some advanced cardiac skills. I'd be very comfortable in an ICU or ER right now. However I would...

    Ruger8mm replied to JNcCole15's topic in General Students

    It is tough. We have a toddler and a 4 month old in the house. It made for an interesting semester. I had to settle for my first B in the program. Oh well, nobody cares but me. Regarding the...

    Exactly. I used to be a 4.0 student, until this semester. I have a 13 year background as an Advanced Clinical Sonographer specializing in echocardiography and I'm an EMT-B. My advice, don't stress...
