   First code situation...any suggestions?

   jennybean14 replied to wsuRN2009's topic in General Nursing

   Low Census- To Take Cancel or Not?

   The usual where I worked was 4 hours on med/surg, but the doctor orders it when they want it. All depends on what's going on.

    Can a hospital legally force you to get your bsn if you are an adn

    jennybean14 replied to lv2brn's topic in General Nursing

    There presently is legislation in NJ called "BSN in 10". I for one am behind it, although I'd be grandfathered in.....I am getting my BSN anyway to expand my knowledge and opportunities. I believe it will only help the nursing profession :) http://...

    Med surg first?

    jennybean14 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    I believe regardless of what specialty you may get into, Med/Surg is an excellent place to start right after graduating. You get to use and perfect all the skills you learned, and there is nothing like doing that on the job. I really don't know if ...
