1. Forgot to chart a medication

   kujomonster replied to kujomonster's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks for your responses! I literally woke up in the middle of the night and thought Oh Crap! Now I can't stop thinking about it on my day off! I will check the chart first thing tomorrow, assuming the patient is still on the unit.

   Hello, Im almost certain I forgot to chart an antibiotic that I gave IVPB last night. My question is, when I go to work tomorrow AM, can I chart it then, or how do I go about this?

3. Interview done....How long until a possible offer letter?

   kujomonster replied to JohannaR's topic in Job Hunt

   Every place is different. Generally a phone call is good news, a letter or email is bad news. At my job I got a call 3 days after interview which is very fast. I got another offer one week after interview. And for two other interviews that I did not ...

4. new grad RN to graduate this May....should I be applying now?

   kujomonster replied to SNB1014's topic in Job Hunt

   I would start applying now. Some new grad programs have deadlines for applications that may end before you graduate. I waited too long and ended up missing deadlines for some great residency programs. Also, if you are not a PCT/CNA already I would re...

6. Registry RN position - New Grad Float pool

   kujomonster replied to kujomonster's topic in Career Support

   There are no benefits, and the pay is 3$ less than what I was offered at a different hospital I interviewed for (I didnt get the job). From my understanding, I thought registry nurses made more. Im not so concerned with floating to other units, I kn...

   kujomonster replied to Chicago's topic in Job Hunt

10. New grad Dialysis RN, or keep applying for acute care/subacute care jobs?

    kujomonster replied to kujomonster's topic in Urology

    Thanks for all your input. Dialysis nursing is definitely not where I saw myself, however I will go to the interview with an open mind and see how it is. I was hoping this would be a job where I could work, while still applying to hospitals where I w...

15. NCLEX-RN in Nov-Freaking out!

    kujomonster replied to shannalim's topic in NCLEX

    I agree. You should stick to one study tool and be consistent. I used Kaplan and found that to be very similar to NCLEX, the practice tests even look the same. I did practice questions everyday, and read every rationale. I looked up any answers I got...
