Great job. In Ohio we were more of a neosynephrine unit than norepinephrine...but I traveled all over and a lot of places unfortunately don't use neo enough.
Great job hot stuff! Keep at it! For me it's more interesting reading a 12 lead than it is taking care of a MI patient, unless they are actively coding....I'm more of a crash, burn and shock chick.
This grading system at WGU is really making me scared because I want to be a CRNA. So what if when I’m done with WGU, I go get my MSN at a traditional school with GPA and do very well before applying for CRNA school will it help/blend?
Привет с другого материка, а точнее из Беларуси 🙋🏼♂️ Так интересно послушать. У нас к сожалению нет вазопрессина, который можно внутривенно вводить, у нас он бывает для назадьного применения. А ещё такого препарата как "претекс" ещё нет, до нас наверное не дошло. За то мы используем много других препаратов.
Okay I’m hacking WGU currently. Doing the bachelors in science that has all the prerequisites for the accelerated bsn at my local state school. So I’ll finish my bachelors in science then go to the 13 month bsn program near me so I can build some connections locally and technically graduate from a state university!
I’m currently in my first term at WGU. I reached out to a school and was told they do no accept any competency based programs even if I retake the science core classes. Did you check with schools ahead of time or just apply? Thanks for the content!
How was your BSN GPA calculated? Did they strictly use the 3.0 from WGU or did they include the required prerequisites for admission to the program like Microbiology, human anatomy? I also have chemistry courses from before WGU that would make my science GPA competitive, but im not sure how much those would change my cumulative. I guess that could be program dependent. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I've wanted this since before nursing school, but when I chose WGU I pushed it into the back of my mind because I wasn't sure what else to do.
Great presentation. Didn't see much of an epi gtt - unless we were coding someone and went through the entire code cart stock! Oh boy, you'll see a lot more gtts. For example, in my 20 years in the ICU I've only had one patient started on an Aminophylline gtt. I knew what it was for but never dealt with a gtt before! It also baffled the pharmacist who had to mix it! She hadn't seen it used in a long time.
Cordero… also trying to get CRNA at RFU after WGU can I pick your brain on how I should do this? I’m looking into classes but not sure where is the best place to take the grad level classes as not many places offer certain ones like biostat or organic chem or biochem
4 years as a medical surgical nurse and I just accepted my first MICU position. Any advice for medical surgical nurse transitioning to critical care nursing? Thank you 😊
What is your advice with studying the anatomy? Any good or books? I haven't been in school in a while. I really want to apply for the nursing program but, the anatomy part is what's scaring me the most. I have been through a phlebotomy program. I passed my national exam. I'm terrified of the anatomy part. I had a really cool teacher and my classes were old women. She took things really slow. I really want to try WGU. I would be aware of not having someone to tutor with. Is there Meetup virtual groups you can do? And I'm worried about the admissions exam. I use to be good at algebra in high school, my math sucks in age. Is there a site I can go to; that can prepare me for the exam?
I think I am struggling with the fact that it is so broad. There’s not really a specific thing to study lol ugh. I take my retake in 2 days and I’m nervous. Hoping my math can come up and push me over the line. My science is in the trash! 🥴😩 can’t teach myself something I don’t understand. 🫠
What school did you attend? Some people tend to look down on HBCU nursing schools like Howard, NCCU, NC&AT, Hampton, etc. People think if you attended Duke, UNC at Chapel Hill, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, and Catholic Universities nursing school, you are more qualified. Have you guys considered getting an MSN in Nursing?
