   MiniPaige replied to Oncnurse555's topic in General Nursing

   So correct me if I'm wrong, but you're asking if instead of programming a secondary infusion (IV piggyback), just change the primary infusion rate to the abx rate and then just open the secondary abx line so it will passively flow with the primary IV...

2. Any thoughts on being exposed to chemo/radiation as an RN that wants babies someday?

3. How to brush up on everything!

   MiniPaige replied to Mqnurse43's topic in Career Support

   Prior to taking the NCLEX two years ago, I used a review course via NCSBN. It was very thorough and went through all the systems. It might be something you'd want to look into. I don't know if it's changed much since I took the course, but I'm leavin...

   MiniPaige replied to aloha16's topic in Florida

   I'm in a similar boat. I'm scheduled to interview for a position in the StaRN program which overlaps with my own wedding and honeymoon. My fiancé and I decided that if I am offered the job then we would reschedule our honeymoon (thank god we're able...

   MiniPaige replied to Newgradnurse9209's topic in Job Hunt

   Thanks for the reassurance! Hearing that it took a few months for you to hear back/get an interview makes me feel better! I have one question for you, when you did hear back did you get a call to come in for an interview or did you receive an email?
