  1. how do raises work at your hospital??

    wow, thanks for all the responses. I do make a lot more than $24/hr, but the hospital I work at is in a rough area, so I assume that's why. I was told by someone who works in HR that not many of the hospitals gave raises this year because of the eco...
  2. hi everyone, I've been working as an RN on a med/surg unit for almost 2 years. Since then I have gotten two raises, but it was a hospital wide raise that occurs every year. However, along with everyone else getting a raise, the starting salary of new...
  3. Charting Wounds

    My preceptor saw the wound the first day I had the patient, at which time I asked my preceptor about it and she just said it was shearing. The very next day I had the same patient and I asked my preceptor to help me wash the patient up and asked the ...
  4. Charting Wounds

    Thanks for resonding! You all are the best! Without a doubt there was an open wound, which is which I thought it was a stage 2. I did document the shearing it in the skin/wound assessment and there was a picture of a body and I circled the sacral are...
  5. Charting Wounds

    Speaking of documenting wounds, I have a question. I'm a new nurse and have been on orientation for a few weeks. My preceptor was helping me get my patient washed up and we both noticed what I thought was a small early stage 2 on the patient's sacral...
  6. stitches

    Just curious.. are RNs allowed to remove stitches? I had a mole removed a few weeks ago and had to get stitches and a younger girl who I assume the RN came in and removed the stitches, I didn't even see the DR. I wasn't sure of her title..Thanks!
  7. Don't feel like I know enough to pass NCLEX?

    Trust me, there's so much info the nclex can test you on it's impossible to know every single thing! Your readiness score sounds good, and as long as you did all the kaplan questions you'll be fine. I tried to study the stuff I didn't feel 100% confi...
  8. Anyone take Kaplan & fail?

    I really think if you do all the questions kaplan has to offer and understand all the rationales you'll do great. Your scores sound like they're in the same area as my scores and I passed with 75 questions. Try to focus more on the questions rather t...
  9. pre employment physical

    I actually had the same exact experience as jerzygirl on Monday. I also had a PPD done too. It hurt sooo bad and currently looks like a little pimple (w/o a head) and there's a little redness (a little smaller than a pencil eraser.) I know I have to ...

  11. My June 16th NCLEX w/ 75 questions!!

    Congrats on passing! And thanks for the test breakdown. From what I've been reading on this forum, it seems like there's a lot of infection control and isolation/precaution questions. Ugh.. i'm horrible w/those percaution questions! I guess I should ...
  12. PASSED w/75 ?s and 5 math!!

    CONGRATS!
  13. anyone only use Kaplan to study for NCLEX?

    On the readiness test I got a 74%. They say as long as you get above a 65% you should pass the NCLEX. I'm just so nervous because I feel like I don't know anything, but I really don't want to push this test back!
  14. New ADN grad needs advice

    If I were you I wouldn't give up on finding a RN position in a hospital. The jobs are out there! I just graduated with my ADN last month as well. I realize what a pain is it to try to get in touch with HR! I believe the key is you just have to be fr...
