The order was incomplete, it does not have a time frame. What if she/he needs the percocet every hour. The doc probaly couldn't even read his own writing.

Could the circle with a dot be a Q, the 8L=8h, and the PNN = PRN? So it would say "Q 8h PRN" = "Every 8 hours as needed." Just a suggestion. Remember to clarify, though.
Discrimination does not seem to be an issue here. Either you falsely documented patient care or you did not. If you did not then you have a case against the facility. The race of your coworkers is irrelevent and should not be brought up. It only ...
Marilynmom, Don't let what you hear about med/surg scare you. Med/surg was one of the best clinical rotations for me except for leadership which was on a med/surg telemetry floor, ER and ICU. Med/Surg is where you learn your skills. I didn't care ...
I was offered a position at a hospital that is paying for the review for me. I probably wouldn't take it otherwise but since it's free, I definately won't pass it up.
Definately follow up with a phone call. I did the very thing at one hospital, comes to find out they had misplaced my app. The recruiter was so happy that I had called that, the day I interviewed, I was offered the job on the spot. Good Luck!!

Hey Marilynmom, You may be in my class. I also attend UCO. Are you a senior? If so have you finished your leadership paper yet? I'm such a slacker, I'm still only 5 pages in. I plan to have it finished by Thursday though. That's my goal.

That isn't true at all. If the only difference were prerequisites then a community college could readily confer BSNs, since most prerequisistes are sophomore level classes anyway. You guys have about 37 hrs of nurse only curriculum where as we have...
I believe that you can atleast make that if not a little more. I'm a new grad graduating in May and my offered salary isn't too far from that more if I include my differentials. Plus I was told I would recieve a raise after orientation and a second...
