  1. Subclavian DVT

    I absolutely love all the responses this post has drawn out. When I am not so tired - I will go back and re-read everything. I just had my first solo shift with 7 pts. 2 were new admits for chest pain, 2 with renal failure, one NSR who decided to t...
  2. Subclavian DVT

  11. Nclex tomorrow!

    Sounds crazy but...... eat your favorite candy bar before you take the test, if you can't eat the whole thing half will do. Oh yeah, don't forget to pee. I went two times before my test started and still felt like I had to go again at about 20 quest...
  12. grads "negotiating" contracts...

    hmmmm......... This is just my experience as a new grad. I had no power except to choose which facility I would work at. There are alot of little things that seem to get glossed over in the interview process. Things are promised but not delivered. ...
