   crmson_lady replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

   Lori, you're in my thoughts. I think it's a terrible situation for your supervisors to do to any innocent employee. I hope they come to their senses and things are made right. Hugs to you and your family. Ditto Elisheva on free legal aid. I've used ...

   crmson_lady replied to manurse06's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks for asking this. I was wondering too. I applied to the state and Pearson online over two weeks ago. I've already paid the fees and am just waiting for ATT so that I can set up a test date. Also, I applied for a temp license from my state becau...

   I've finished my preceptorship. I will do my leadership project this week. We are doing the HURST review course May 8-11. Graduation is May 13th at 9am. We don't have a pinning ceremony because we are a BSN program. I figure I'll get my temp license...

6. What is "KVO" on your unit?

   crmson_lady replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

   It varies based on the unit, so I always find myself asking what is KVO for this unit. I've seen it from 25-50 ml/hr on most units where I work.

7. ER Report

   crmson_lady replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

   Where I work, the ED nurse faxes the report to the unit. Then he/she must call and verify the report was received on the unit. Once he/she knows the report printed out of the fax machine, they can let the patient be transported to the unit.

8. Are you required to watch videos

   crmson_lady replied to Maisie's topic in General Students

   Yes, when I was taking Fundamentals class, we had to watch numerous videos. I think we had close to 50 videos on various topics that we had to watch on our own time, but during the video center's open hours.

9. Compass Reading Test?

   crmson_lady replied to 09RN's topic in Alabama

   I didn't take that test. I don't even know what a compass reading test is or what would be required for it. Are you returning to college after being out for awhile? I know some schools require you to take tests in a few subject areas to see what le...

    crmson_lady replied to GeeBeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work on an observation unit as a PCA/US and will be a RN on it in June. Our unit is a little different than the ones above. Almost all our patients come from the ED and are placed on our unit to r/o MI or other conditions. We do the lab work, tests...

12. nclex review: to take or not to take

    crmson_lady replied to mrhrn06's topic in New Nurse

    I'm wondering the same thing. I think I might need the refresher of a review course. However, the one my class chose for it costs $350. To me, that's alot of money considering I'm going to be paying for a state application fee, intermin permit licen...

    I'm definitely a Bama person. I'm about to graduate (May) from UA's Capstone College of Nurisng with my BSN. I've interviewed on various units at a local Tuscaloosa hospital. Due to me already being employed as a student PCA/US at the hospital, I had...

    crmson_lady replied to tanaynicole's topic in General Students

    I also graduate in May. Most of my class put in applications last month and early this month. We are doing interviews this month until whenever. We can't apply for our IPs until we actually graduate and the state reviews our transcripts. However alo...

    Daytonite - I really like your report sheet. I'm going to make some minor changes based on a few things we do and use it for the rest of my preceptorship.
