  1. Should I report this CRNA?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to RNPamP's topic in PACU

    He assaulted you and had no right to make any physical contact. Write him up and you'll be glad you did. Just wondering: isn't the oral airway supposed to be removed before the pt is

  2. Dismissed from nursing program

    DoubleblessedRN replied to VRNH's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, Excelsior is NLN accredited, but several states do not recognize it. I know that CA, IL, and MD do not, and I believe FL, WA, CO, and OK have restrictions. (There may be others; these are the...

  3. Dismissed from nursing program

    DoubleblessedRN replied to VRNH's topic in General Nursing

    If nursing is what you really want, then you may want to consider enrolling in Excelsior College. There is a lot of info in the distance learning forum. You may be eligible to enroll if you have...

  4. Nc 4

    DoubleblessedRN replied to morenenuf's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I recently took NC4. It wasn't that difficult. I got a B. Half of it was cardiac and respiratory, which I had no problem with because of my EMS experience and ACLS. This exam also covers alittle bit...

  5. Excelsior College and Illinois

    DoubleblessedRN replied to jadedRN04's topic in Illinois Nursing

    My understanding is that an Excelsior grad must be licensed w/at least 2 yrs of exp in another state in order for Illinois to grant

  6. Nc 3

    DoubleblessedRN replied to morenenuf's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You need to do well in all areas of the exam. NC 3 consists of pain mgmt, community nursing, OB, male and female reproductive health to name a few. Suppose you passed in all but one area of the...

  7. Study material for Excelsior exams.

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Mudwoman's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My thoughts exactly. The textbooks that EC recommends emphasizes more on critical thinking. There is also nothing in any of the modules that teaches about drug classifications as does "Pharmacology:...

  8. 4 month old with chronic constipation

    DoubleblessedRN replied to jprn05's topic in Pediatric

    I'm not a nurse (yet) but I have a daughter who will be 3 next month who gets severely constipated. Her pediatrician wrote a rx for Miralax, a powder laxative that can be mixed with any liquid. I...

  9. ever heard of a online chool called college network

    DoubleblessedRN replied to ivyqueen's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I also am trying (really hard) not to bash The College Network, but it seems like a total ripoff. A co-worker of mine recently signed with TCN. I have seen the content guides and I agree, it is...

  10. Angry mom treated rotten in ER today

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Purple Princess's topic in Emergency

  11. Ratemyprofessors.com?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Moondance's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my experience, it is usually pretty accurate. The only times it really hasn't been were for SOME of the nursing instructors...some of their negative ratings are in retaliation of a failing grade....

  12. What would you do?????

    DoubleblessedRN replied to cynditoksRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You made it possible for yourself because you worked so hard for it.

  15. good grades vs. competent nurse

    DoubleblessedRN replied to natrgrrl's topic in General Nursing

    The famous saying at my school: "A students turn into C students." It is a little bit of an exaggeration; I had a 3.6 GPA when I applied, and it is now about a 3.2. Grades aren't everything....

  16. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because the profession is predominanty women, and that's how women

  17. The Cold Hard Facts?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What really angers and saddens me are the elderly in LTC who have a legal guardian through on of those guardianship services. I don't work in LTC, (I'm not a nurse yet, but I'm a paramedic) and I've...

  18. EMS abandonment?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to UtErRnEmt's topic in Emergency

    I would have to say the receiving facility. Run reports require a receiving facility signature, from either an RN or MD. If that is signed, that means s/he took a report and assumed responsibility...

  19. Most RN's first borns?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    DoubleblessedRN replied to livn4him11's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm just finishing up OB in nursing school. In my textbook, there are many common questions and phrases in every chapter. It is titled "Maternity Nursing 7th Edition," the authors are Lowdermilk and...

  21. What does psychiatric nursing entail?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Psychiatric

    Interesting stories. I have transported many psychiatric pts (adults and adolescents) and I once heard about a teenage girl who somehow got ahold of a lightbulb, broke it and cut herself. (only...

  22. What does psychiatric nursing entail?

    DoubleblessedRN posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hi everyone...next semester I will be studying psychiatric nursing. I read a couple of the links on this forum and found out some of a psych nurse's duties, but what can I expect to be doing on the...

  23. I need a pep talk...badly!!!

    DoubleblessedRN replied to mturner88's topic in General Nursing

    If it is at all possible to finish up the last 3 weeks, than by all means do it! Does your program allow you to take a leave of absence or a semester off? Maybe that would be best, then it may give...

  24. Paramedics advance into nursing

    DoubleblessedRN replied to cctparamedic's topic in General Nursing

    You are absolutely right, danh3190, you can't think like a paramedic while in nursing school. For me, nursing school isn't that difficult, but I have to think in a totally different way while on my...
