I agree with those that are saying this is just rudeness. We have a new grad nurse that started nights on our unit that acts the same way during report. I think it is her attempt at "proving" herself as a new nurse. Try to trip up the nurse with expe...
I am in month 9 of a 12 month RN residency program. The program incooporates RNs from all over the hospital in different practice areas, the majority of us are May 2010 graduates so we are all very new with similar experience levels. The thing that I...
Love this! I am precepting my first GN and we just finished up our first week together and I hope she has learned half as much from me as I have learned from her in this week.
I started as an LPN in an office and I loved it, as an RN I have found it much harder to find a job in an office but I would go back in a minute! I currently work in a super busy med/surg unit in a large teaching hospital and to be honest I would go ...
I worked in LTC for 3 months before getting the job that I have now, I did let my employer know that the facility was just not a good fit for me and that I was going to be applying at other facilities. I had support from my DoN at the LTC which made ...
So, I'm a new grad in my first nursing job. I am in week 4 of a 6 week preceptorship on a busy M/S unit. I am at the point where I am delegating responsibilities to my preceptor and juggleing the load of pts by myself I can ask for input/help along t...
Red or diff color pens, they help to make your notes to yourself about things that need documented later stand out a bit. I also carry a small little note pad in my pocket for quick notes to myself such as I&Os, pump rates, PCA doses, etc. I'm a ...
Just a heads up, we had a drug test for every student in the program the day of orientation in addition to the test we had to take to be accepted into the program. We were also told to expect random drug tests through out the program which makes me ...
My daughter is 22 months old and we started sending her at the end of the spring semester this year. She had never even been to a baby sitter (not even grammy!) and she is doing so well. Sometimes I think she would rather be at "hool" than at home....
When I took classes through the ccc system I did not get a choice about who I could take as an instructor. They may have changed the system since then. The instructors that I had were decent, no real complaints about any of them.
I took both A&P 2 and Micro through the CCConline system and in my experience the lab manual is only sold as part of the labpaq. I don't think that you could buy it separately. The labs are pretty in depth and there are questions that you will ...
Thanks Csantos! I have been doing my practice tests for 10 days now and I take the NET Friday. I feel good but yesterday when I read that there may be geometry on the test I got a little weak in the knees! :uhoh21:
Just curious as I am taking the NET this Friday about whether or not there are any geometry questions on the math section of the test. I have been working the practice tests but there seems to be a lack of geometry questions although I have read tha...
Oh man! That guy sounds like my stats teacher from round one about 6 years ago. I did all right in the class but only because we had a TA come to the rescue of the WHOLE CLASS one day after the instructor came in with a chart showing how pathetic o...
I don't see how it would be in the best interest of the school to only have 2 out of 35 grad/pass. I have been under the impression that schools can lose their accredidation (couldn't spell that to save my life evidently ) if enough of their student...
