My advice is don't try to go to work with the attitude that "I know it better since I just graduated" - because you will def be brought down a few notches. Those "old" nurses will be your best resource when your facing something you've never even hea...
I used the study guide, Taylor's clinical skills, and Fundamentals book. The most important thing is the study guide!!! It is what you will be graded by. I bought a dry erase board, and I would make mneumonics (or modify ones passed on from other stu...

I have been offered HH as a new grad as well, and while it is what I would *like* to do, I don't feel like I could safely accept the position yet. They say they will wave the 1 year requirment for LPN experience (which I have) but I wouldn't be pract...
When I took my NCLEX PN 2 years ago, it did the same thing to me...I had a 3.96 (one B in first semester clinicals), I had studied and prepared, but I still felt liked I had flunked the test...it was so much that I had NEVER heard of!! Thank God, I ...

when i worked in a methadone clinic, we used liq methadone, and yes, resp depression is a potential prob because of the side effects of the medication. --- any time we felt a patient couldn't tolerate the dose or was impaired, we would hold the dose ...
i ordered it all...iv set, injection stuff, wound ect. it was $140, i think. i wasn't working, so didn't have access to supplies. you can usually find the supplies for sale really cheap or free on EPN on ECE website. Some students will send it for fr...
I didn't take any workshops, so i am def not an authority on the issue, and i think the most important thing is that you know your study guide inside & out, practice AOCs & labs until you could do them in your sleep, and have mneumonics &...

I worked 6 months in a methadone clinic. My hours where 0445-1230, and i really liked the shift. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of security at the facility I worked out. But as far the work & patients, i loved it.
