3. Safe Nurse:Patient ratio

   nosnow1 replied to hoopette34's topic in New Nurse

   I am worried too sometimes about our ratios.....I am a relatively new nurse, I work 7-3 and had 11 patients and and then a transfer from ICU. We are a small community hospital and it sickens me that I feel I can't give the care necessary. Everythin...

4. Pt/Family RAGE

   nosnow1 replied to sawbuck's topic in Activism

   Why does a patient's family believe that we are to be in the room 24/7? If I could I certainly would, but we all know in the hospital setting that kind of care just can't happen and probably won't. I had a situation occur, and I was assured by the ...

   nosnow1 replied to *lisa*'s topic in NCLEX

    nosnow1 replied to LPN4hire's topic in NCLEX

    I took the NCLEX today. Nothing like I expected. I am really depressed right now. The machine shut off after 75 questions, I really don't think I passed. Lots of priority questions, some meds I never heard of etc a few select all that apply. I ha...
