  1. Crash Course?! Thoughts on RN education

    Lisa CCU RN replied to jjjoy's topic in General Nursing

    This is true also. I hate how we are not allowed to do IV pushes without our instructor. I am really scared because itf it were not for me being such a bookworm, I'd never have realized the importance...

  2. Crash Course?! Thoughts on RN education

    Lisa CCU RN replied to jjjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I see your point. Our program does however prepare us to deal with 6 patients and teaches us time managment. I think more time should be spent in clinicals...once a week doesn't seem to be enough....

  3. Best Memphis hospitals for RN's

    Lisa CCU RN replied to SpiceChick01's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Here's my opinion as well as what I know. St. Jude is $24 on nights, so I think days is around 18-19. They have a 2 to one ratio or maybe it's 4 to one, but in any case the ratio is supposed to be...

    Lisa CCU RN replied to MN_NursingStudent's topic in General Students

    Wow. Why do you have to memorize it? Not even RN's know things by heart and there is nothing wrong with having it written down; in fact most nurses refer to their notes as their "brains". I'm sorry...

    Lisa CCU RN replied to lashon20's topic in General Students

    Lisa CCU RN replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is funny, I forgot I even started this thread. Now there IS a CNA section on the board.

  17. Why isn't there a CNA section?

    Lisa CCU RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Excuse me if I'm wrong, but there is no CNA section. I was wondering why that is. Without CNA's, PCT's etc, nursing homes and hospitals wouldn't be complete. This all nurses.com right? Again, excuse...

    Lisa CCU RN replied to lashon20's topic in General Students
