  2. Jehovah Witness patients refusing any blood transfusion.. Why?

    Odd, I had a JW as a patient a few days ago, and yes they talk about not accepting blood transfusions and their willingness to die for their beliefs. However this patient was to that point and willingly accepted a blood transfusion. However, it was d...
  3. New Grad Shifts Cancelled While in Orientation

    Thanks everyone for your responses. I have researched this matter not only with my unit manager, but nursing administration, and staffing as well. All seem pretty tight lipped about the cancelling of orientee shifts. I have been told that this may st...
  4. PCT/CNA not doing her job.

    I can relate to your woes in dealing with CNA's who don't do their job. On the unit where I work, when my shifts aren't cancelled, the CNA's will come in at 6:45am, and directly tell the nurses what tasks they will and won't do. The CNA's are very di...

  6. New Grad Shifts Cancelled While in Orientation

    I guess I should mention that ALL of my shifts were cancelled in a 2 week period. I was told that the census would be projected low until July. I was also told that as an orientee, my shifts would not be cancelled, but that information was not accura...

  8. Sign-on bonus?

    Wow! it amazes me the negative things people have to say about New Orleans, but will take the opportunity to work in the city. Crackheads abound not just in New Orleans but through out the country. I take offense as a true New Orleanian. Maybe ya'll ...
  9. GEORGIA LPN'S and Excelsior College

    Please refer to the information posted at the top of this forum regarding Excelsior, as the previous ruling by the GaBON has changed and yes we are now eligible for licensure as of 12/22/08. You can also locate the info on the Sec of State website, o...
  10. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    I too researched the information pertaining to licensure by endorsement and the application specifically states that any applicant that doesn't meet the 500 hours or 3 months of RN practice for compensation MUST complete a Georgia Board of Nursing Re...
  11. Letters from instructors while distance learning

    Actually this is not correct information. You do not have to complete the CPNE for this, and your dedication as a distance learner is an example of your learning abilities and committment to your nursing eduation. I have done exactly as you are attem...

    I am so sorry to hear this, but take strength in knowing that this is not the last time that you can take the exam. I suggest that you take some time off and regroup. Don't focus on not passing but what you are going to do differently next time to pa...
  15. Hurst review

    I completed the Hurst online review and passed my NCLEX RN exam as of today (tested yesterday w/ 75 q's). Hurst is entertaining and informative. It does give you info to focus on review of systems and the high points to hit with study for NCLEX; you ...
