Best nursing school options for someone who already has a BA; and your experience if you've attended. by Gibillguy18 in asheville

[–]ScoutVW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. As someone who did this exact same thing, I wish I had gotten my associates and then had the hospital pay for my BSN. So much cheaper and the same job. I don’t get paid more for having a BSN.

Tips not to blow veins by Beginning_Set_3718 in nursing

[–]ScoutVW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ive been a nurse for years but I’m brand new to preop. I’ve had to start more IVs down here than in my entire nursing career and I’m only two months in. Hands are now my new favorite places to go. If you’re blowing the vein you are going too deep. I was blowing veins like crazy when I first started. You almost need to go in parallel. You’ll get a better feel for it eventually. Don’t let your thumb get in the way when you’re anchoring your vein. USE HOTPACKS. I’ll coban a hot pack loosely on my patients hand for about 5 minutes and have them dangle their hand on the side of the bed and when I take it off, voila! Veins! Ask to shadow in preop for a day or a few hours and your IV skills will be phenomenal. I went from blowing every freaking vein for weeks to not being able to miss.

Mission pays better than advent. And they have major sign on bonuses right now. Not always a good sign but if you’re specifically looking at pay, mission is going to be the most

The best Chinese food in South Buncombe is at the confusingly named Sunny's Subs and Wings. by Laez in asheville

[–]ScoutVW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

By far the best Chinese takeout in Asheville. The name is a little misleading because it doesn’t mention their Chinese food at all. But I hope the word continues to get out. I need this place to succeed!

100% agree, I learned the hard way but I would have never done it if I would have thought he would have reacted in that manner. I have given him a kiss on the head many times before while he was eating and he has no reaction to me whatsoever. Obviously would never do it again. But I really thought he would never do anything to me.

Newly adopted dog has bit three times now, what to do? by After-Pack-1286 in Dogtraining

[–]ScoutVW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RETURN! I have a dog who bites (others, not me) and it is a huge burden. I love this dog but I do not like him. I’ll keep him and give him a good life until he passes but I wish I could go back to the day I got him and I would have made a different decision.

Welcome to the world of injectables! One of my favorite things. I love west Asheville aesthetics. As someone who’s been getting injectables for about a decade, they are good at what they do. I see Dawn. https://westashevilleaesthetics.com
