   That is actually a good one too. I ended up with Thank you for calling *** hospice after-hours service. Please leave your name, phone number, and a brief description of your call and we'll have someone reach out to you as soon as possible. Thank you...

3. Sample voicemail greeting for an oncall runner for hospice

   guest907278 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi! I'm a new runner for a hospice company and they gave me the task of answering calls afterhours and on weekends. I answer the phone as soon as I can, but for some instances where I am away from my phone and a call comes in and goes to voicemail, ...

4. New Grad Nurse Arrogance

   guest907278 replied to gizmojamz's topic in General Nursing

   passing NCLEX =/= being an excellent nurse. Field experience is so different from school. What helps a nurse the most to become effective and successful is attitude. Being open to new learning and admitting mistakes. Nursing is, after all, a lifelong...

5. BS 94, Lantus 20 units, give HS snack?

   guest907278 replied to knotizer12's topic in General Nursing

   True. Not every patient has the same tolerance to insulin. I have had patients who react sharply to humulin or lantus, and those who does not. I even had a patient with BS of around 120 hs, then called the noc nurse at around 4 am with a bs of aroun...

6. Missed NCLEX-PN appointment

   guest907278 replied to guest907278's topic in NCLEX

   yes, you forfeit EVERYTHING except the documents you sent them. I didn't wait that long to get my ATT again from BVNPT, maybe like 2 to 3 weeks? Something like that.

7. Missed NCLEX-PN appointment

   guest907278 replied to guest907278's topic in NCLEX

   so what I did after was: 1. Contact BoN/BVNPT about the missed appointment 2. You will receive a new application form (it was orange for me) and pay the application fee again (150$ or depending on your state). 3. You have to wait until they send you ...

8. LVN covering as caregiver for a shift

   guest907278 replied to guest907278's topic in LPN/LVN

   I've been feeling uneasy about it these past few days, I only covered once with that rate since it's an "emergency", but yeah, I felt like being taken advantage of. It's really disincentive to be honest. Thank you

9. LVN covering as caregiver for a shift

   guest907278 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I'm an LVN, working in an assisted living facility in southern CA. So my boss asked me to cover a few shifts or to cover a caregiver when they call out, not available, etc. Since there would be 2 LVNs in the same shift when I cover, they offered to...

    UPDATE: Checked my profile in pearson and it already shows "No Show" (checked > 12 hours after scheduled appt) Tried to re-register and it went through. Paid the fee ($200) and got the usual email after you register. I'm now waiting for the ATT ...

11. Missed NCLEX-PN appointment

    guest907278 replied to guest907278's topic in NCLEX

    I get that I forfeit the ATT and fee. But do I forfeit the eligibility as well even though it's still good through Oct 20? And how many days do I have to wait before I can re-register?

12. Missed NCLEX-PN appointment

    So I was sent away today (June 25, 2015) due to insufficient ID issues, the notice didn't specify to bring EVERY piece of ID if you're testing at a foreign site. I brought everything (green card, driver's license, SSN, state ID) BUT the passport. A...
