I agree with Tom7044. The RN must assess the objective data not just the subjective data. Yesterday, I had a pt say to me "I was gonna ask for my PRN suboxone but that motrin you gave me really helped!" In that case, the motrin was given because the ...

This is just something that is bugging me but how did you make a phone call? Don't they lock all your stuff up in a locker (maybe that's just my state)? Writing a letter is a good idea, along with a letter from your client. I would hope they wouldn't...

Here's the deal. Will having MA/CNA experience make you a more well rounded nurse? Maybe, maybe not. In nursing school you'll meet people with no previous patient care experience and also people with 20 years of patient care. Nursing though, is more...
Listen, this is all wrong. She'll get you a NICU job?!!?!?! GIMME A BREAK. Why would she do that? So, you'll work with her for a year, under a false license for less pay and then she'll hook you up with a different job? Makes no sense. Unless you ca...

Tyvin is correct. Psych records are extremely confidential. Certain measures make it very tough to access records. As a nurse you can't even look up your own records let alone your kids, like with medical records, unless you get access. Rest assured...

Yeah go. My first interview was a disaster (sorry, hope that doesn't make you nervous) but my next few were way better because of that experience. I don't get too anxious about stuff like interviews but the first one made me realize I can't just bree...

Holy crap! Lol! I find it really strange he denied knowing you. Did he get fired from that place? I'm guessing he left that place of work off his resume and maybe is trying to cover for it? He was probably like "She's crazy I don't know her. I have ...

Does your local psych facility have milieu therapy? They are usually psych majors and work on inpatient floors promoting a safe, positive environment. If you think nursing is too stressful, that is one option that is still psych based.
