    Did the PVT trick and paid the 200

    Sorry to hear you failed! This happens to some of the best nurses. I used a empty visa gift card when I did the PVT so I did not risk the $200.Maybe that will work for you next time. Good luck!!!

    HIV needle stick

    I would report this immediately. Even if it's nothing this was certainly a near miss that needs to be reported perhaps to help you in the future and possibly other employees.

    Help! I look young!

    Talky Nurse
