Of note, it comes with a second bay to add another hard drive, and has an extra bay for ram. You can add up to 64 megs of RAM, but you won't need to. After it goes through updates it takes maybe 5 seconds to go from off to being logged in. Battery li...

Doesn't have to be expensive. I paid about $550 for the one I use.

Research ABSN programs in your area. With a prior degree, many find a ABSN faster than an ADN, about the same length as LPN.

Depends on the program, your financial situation, age and personality of child, social and logistic support systems, and so on.

It depends on the nursing program and you. Some programs are more time consuming than others. Some people have better time management skills. Some people so the parent thing. And so on. The short answer is "maybe."

AACN just released a procedure manual. They also have "Essentials of critical care." Both are available from the AACN website and Amazon. There are a ton of good books on critical care. Kinda depends what you're looking for.

I second spreadsheet. I prefer to use either gsheets or Excel online, since either can be edited from many places.

Solid state drive. Much faster. You can actually have more than one drive with the secondary one for file storage being an old fashioned hard drive that spins. Just make sure the one with the OS and programs you use a lot are on the SSD. Since SSDs ...

Regardless of what you get, make sure the OS drive is SSD. Makes a world of difference.

If a clot falls in the forest, and there was no fibrin to see it, was it ever really there in the first place?

Yup. Curious what rationale was given when you eventually asked. You asked, right?

The short answer is "yes." The long answer is longer and depends on state and ratios.

Yup. I've worked with plenty of NPs and PAs I wouldn't trust with a yeast infection, and an occasional MD/DO. And certainly true of new grad RNs as well that tend to be better from some schools than others, though there are exceptions. It also depend...

Depends what the probation is for. Substance facilities are often prone to giving second chances, but you have to be clean a certain amount of time.

Sounds like either a valve, or that you went through the vein. Both get a flash, then resistance when advancing. Next time try pulling out a little then letting saline flow , and see if you can advance then. A lot of the time when you pull back it'll...

Depends on the age. There was much therapeutic holding (restraint) when I was in peds. If it's less urgent, emla works decent, but there are a variety of sprays that are faster. If there's a protocol or order, a temporary restraint (arm board) can h...

I can offer some reassurance. I worked inpatient peds for 3 years without ever being pooped on. At, around, but never on.

What they said + Excedrin + Aleve + back support for lifting. If night shift, headlamp, preferably with a red option in addition to white light. I like having two hands, and find the all too common practice of holding a penlight with your teeth very ...

I generally read people pretty well. I'm wrong from time to time, but not often. While I feel PRN would be better for you, I don't believe you would be happy with insurance. Part time may be not half bad.

I mean, it's the devil known and accepted. You get the short end as contract, until you don't. If you don't, it's usually because they want you to stay, even though they know you're paid better. They're human. It annoys then at first that they know y...

Actually: also inpatient psych. Because you never know when you'll have a plate thrown at you, because nutrition services provided sliced pears, rather than diced pears.
