  2. Hi everyone, I'm posting a topic today to offer hope to those of you who may have been in my shoes at some point in time. Little history: I decided to go into nursing through a second bachelor's degree program since my first liberal arts degree was...
  3. RNs: How much vacation time do you get?

    The facility I work at has employees accrue time off each pay period. We get 6 hours every two weeks which is equivalent to 1 day a month. So a total of twelve days a year. That's about four weeks in nursing time if you work three twelve hour shifts ...

  10. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Honestly, I'd be more concerned with all the hidden things that passed in that bill. Like increasing the death tax over 55% and mandating wills and assets greater than a certain amount be given to the government instead of the family and children of ...

    That's is great! I know what it's like living in a military household so I understand some of your frustration with classes, deadlines, everything. Anyways, really proud of you! You did the right thing. :)
  12. I just accepted an offer but I have another interview tomorrow

    Take the private hospital. I had a similar quandry but with medical surgical nursing. Do NOT mess with understaffing. It can make or break you and affects patient safety. Good luck and remember to follow your heart.
  13. Postpartum pit

    Totally agree with you. They are over medicating, even though it may be necessary for specific patients. Maybe they need to come up with a scale to determine the risk level of each patient individually and then prescribe following that protocol?
  14. Accepted! Now what?

    1. Invest in some study guides in addition to your textbooks that focus on the exams that you will be required to take (HESI or ATI) etc. NCLEX study guides divided by system such as Saunders, Prentice Hall Review Notes, etc. will become your best fr...
