  1. How would you document

    I need help with my documentation. I have a patient with hip pain. The pain is in the right front at the hip area. So to me what I am documenting sounds stupid, so I need help. This is what I put: Pt. C/O constant pain @ Anterior Right hip X 3 days. ...
  2. Is this pt. abandonment?

    I am aware of what I SHOULD do, but due to circumstances that may not be possible. My question was, Is it considered abandonment? Thanks pricklypear and tiffany. I was aware of group one. That was what I was concerened about. Ugh.... I found the list...
  3. Is this pt. abandonment?

    OK, I am a new nurse and honestly don't know the answer or the consequences. Saturday I gave my 2 weeks notice at my previous employer. The reason I gave 2 weeks is because I thought it would be considered patient abandonment if I didn't. Someone tol...
  4. THINK you FAILED NCLEX ~ READ!

    Like I said in my previous post. DO NOT WAIT to take it, take it as soon as you can. Studying is good, but alot of what I was tested on was what I was taught in school. The longer you wait, the more of a chance you will forget or not comprehend or so...

  7. THINK you FAILED NCLEX ~ READ!

    I started studying in January, just going over the NClex, trying to get a gazillion questions under my belt. I started studying very serioulsy Mid September after I set up my test date. OK, this is my 2 cents...no amount of studying will prepare you...
  8. THINK you FAILED NCLEX ~ READ!

    Oh gosh how awful, she will be there for you and she is right, you just have to take it again, there is no doubt about it. It is going to take you some time to get inspired to do that I am sure. Give yourself some time to deal with the shock and let ...
  9. THINK you FAILED NCLEX ~ READ!

    I don't know if I have any advice or not, because I am not sure I passed since I just took it today. But I know how I will feel if I fail. I almost think it will be worse to tell my family I failed then it would be to actually fail. Failure is not my...

    After much thought and consideration, I am looking for another place of employmnet. I cannot continue to work here as I am still being chastised for this event. I had yet another nurse come to me and tell me we never document like that and what do I ...
  13. I am an RN but am NOT getting training. HELP!!

    Hmmm, sounds like you work in the same place I do.
  14. MRSA Room-mates?

    Not around here (Tx). But I also wanted to mention something gross. My mom got MRSA in her Belly Button, for no reason at all. It is weird but true.
  15. Med error,I'm suspended,I need advice,please!

    Whoa, that is scarey. I am with someone who said earlier, you don't want to work there anyhow. Why would you give a med someone else had pulled? As nurses we know better then that. Never ever ever do that. BUt, this seems harsh, the punishment does n...
