  1. Does this make me an "RN snob"?

    KrysyRN replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is so not true. States have scopes of practice for most medical specialty areas. When you work outside this scope in a clinical setting, you may be committing an illegal act. You are not...

  2. New and need help with call times

    KrysyRN replied to Genista's topic in Telephone Triage

    At the beginning of the call, I tell the person that I am able to help with his/her question, and that the call should take approximately 5 or 6 minutes. This has helped me tremendously with keeping...

  4. New Grad Freaking Out!!!!!!!!!!!

    KrysyRN replied to rottie69's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    45 patients are way too many. Run for the hills. Not safe nor fair. That's one of the biggest patient loads I've ever heard of for that shift. I can't believe it would even be possible to get the work...

  5. Low income mothers.. what teachings can I provide them with?

    KrysyRN replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    Yes..pretty much daily at my job. Sometimes things like transportation keeps expectant mothers from their appts. Or finding child care for the mother's other children for her to go to an appt. One...

  8. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    KrysyRN replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    Oh geez... That would be a big disappointment. I hope that doesn't happen. I'm still trying to figure out how I got credit for Statistics. I've never taken it. It seems like it is a required gen ed...

  10. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    KrysyRN replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    That is just nuts. I don't blame you for dumping them. They have really dropped the ball and were dishonest with you. I'm losing complete faith in them regarding an Oct. 1st start date. They still...

  11. Recommended textbook for Statistics at WGU

    KrysyRN posted a topic in Western Governors University

    I tried searching for the textbook that's recommended for Statistics on the WGU site and haven't found it. Does anyone know the name of the book? I want to get a head start on this class, as I can see...

  14. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    KrysyRN replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    I shouldn't be a pessimist, but I'm kind of losing hope of an Oct. 1 start date, esp if they are evaluating that many transcripts. I don't think I can get approval from my employer for tuition...

    KrysyRN replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

  16. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    KrysyRN replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm wondering if I should be a little proactive and get course descriptions for these classes as well. My transcript does not show that there was a lab component for A&P and Micro. I'm thinking it...

  17. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    KrysyRN replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors University

    Wonder what their hold up is? I'm still waiting for transcript evals too. My counselor said I should be ready to start Oct. 1, but I'm not holding out hope for that. Communication from the school...

  19. VENT: Clinical Instructor for last clinical rotation

    KrysyRN replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    I'm going to take a guess that the clinical instructor knows of a few students that don't know when the fever range starts, and she is checking around to see who else doesn't

  21. Good-bye UT-A. Hello WGU.

    KrysyRN posted a topic in Western Governors University

    After finding out that only 10 of my 250 college/university/graduate credits would apply towards UT-A's RN-BSN program, I decided to apply to WGU. I'm still in the initial stages of the application...

  22. Big scholarship to a nursing school for fall '11, not sure I want to attend. Advice?

    KrysyRN replied to avg92's topic in General Students

    I paid about $800 a semester (I went full time in an LPN-RN bridge program for 2 semesters.) at a community college about 4-5 yrs ago, so your cost of tuition sounds high to me! I think you should at...

  23. Have you ever had a WORTHLESS clinical instructor?

    KrysyRN replied to forgop's topic in General Students

    They probably already have the number and have already complained. Some of the nurses on the floor may even know or may have worked with your
