   Kaytayxx replied to Kaytayxx's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any policy such as that at my job. Some doctors will tell us verbal orders to put in others will do it themselves when they are there. I agree with Implementing that policy could reduce serious errors.

   Kaytayxx replied to Kaytayxx's topic in General Nursing

   It sounds like you are an awesome preceptor. Especially if you are on vacation and are feeling relatively protective of your orientee. I will ask if she can explain more to me where I might obtain a better understanding of how and why she wants thing...

6. New Graduate RN having preceptor commucation problems

   Kaytayxx replied to Kaytayxx's topic in General Nursing

   I have read some stories where the new nurse puts so much blame on the preceptor. Granted, in some cases, not all preceptors are a good fit. But I believe it should be a joint effort where the preceptor and preceptee are working together efficiently ...

8. New Graduate RN having preceptor commucation problems

   Kaytayxx replied to Kaytayxx's topic in General Nursing

   It makes me feel better that this happens to a lot of people where some preceptors just don't have a good matching personality fit I suppose. I just wish I could go off my gut instincts in some cases but that would then turn into me being insubordina...

   I am going to try to talk to her again on my next shift. I have tried a few times to talk in person but theres either not a good time or no time. I dislike texting because you can't always convey a message how you'd like to, sometimes it is interpret...

    I started my "orientation" on my unit July 31st. I am now past 5 weeks of solid orientation and taking responsibility for a 4 pt team on my own. In the beginning of my orientation my preceptor and I got along great. When I would make a mistake or tak...

    If you plan on moving to Florida I'd get licensed in Florida.. Check out Florida Hospital locations they are everywhere and Orlando health / ORMC. Very good hospitals. I know FL hospital has a starting salary around 22-22.50 an hour for new grads.

13. Anybody attending Keiser University Jacksonville?

    Kaytayxx replied to KeiserRN2011's topic in Florida

    Keiser is wonderful. I graduated in April of this year. The professors at the Orlando campus were great and if you dedicate yourself you will do great. Everyone in my cohort passed the NCLEX and has obtained a job. They will work with you on financi...

    As a Graduate of Keiser University in April 2015 I will be more than happy to answer your questions. 1. Pros are the small class sizes, full accreditation (I have transferred my credits to UCF to begin my RN to BSN or MSN in fall), wayyyy more hand...

15. My NCLEX is less than a week away!

    Kaytayxx replied to catsnhats's topic in NCLEX

    They told me when I began nursing school in Jan 14 that trade names were no longer on the NCLEX so we made sure to study and recognize all generic med names. But granted I only had 4 or 5 pharm questions on my NCLEX, everyone is different. But yes it...
