I have been on a tele/medical floor for the past 15 months and trained in the OR for the 4 months previous to that (long story there) fresh from RN graduation. I HATE my job, most particularly the hospital itself. It's an HCA facility with the worst ...

My hospital is trying to train new grads in the OR. It's really hit or miss depending on your preceptor assignment. Some of the preceptors are specialized, so the trainee gets to experience the repetition of the room. Others are assigned different se...

I just did my preceptorship in the OR and I also had been hired on for after Dec. graduation. I actually wish I had done my preceptor time on the floor. Sure, the time in the OR was of value, but being brand new to nursing, I feel I missed out on som...

I'm signed up to take the RN nclex on Jan 24. I have to pass it before I start my job in the OR on Feb 11. I just can't seem to get motivated to study. I guess it's because my school gave so many practice tests that practically assured I would pass t...

I paid Pearson Vue for the test a few weeks ago. I got my "sit pass" from the Board of Nursing in the mail yesterday. I logged onto Pearson Vue to schedule an exam, but it wouldn't let me. I called Pearson Vue on the phone and they said I would recei...
I'm so worried about this poster presentation I have to do Monday for my management practicum. I need to present it to the unit (OR). My problem is the lame subject I've been given....Infection Control and Community Acquired MRSA. Isn't that kind of ...
