  1. Heavy-handed management at CDCR

    I swear I could have written your post word for word. That is EXACTLY like what I have dealt with. My fear of constant threats of being "written up" or "terminated" have made me into a nervous wreck. I have become so paranoid, I don't know who is ...

  3. Sick Call costs

    Costs just went up last month and it has cut down on a lot of unnecessary sick slips. Nurse call w/protocol $6.00; med copays on all refills unless initial sick call: $3.00; Doctor call: $20.00; can't remember what dental and optometry are, but at...

  9. NCLEX on Thursday. How am I doing?

    I am taking NCLEX on February 6, also and I am freaking out. I graduated in December, also, and have been studying since graduation, but feel like I don't know a thing. Need to remember that I can always take it again.
  10. Class of 2013 stand up:-)

    I will graduate with my BSN in December 2013. I'm in an innovative nursing program that only consists of three semesters.
  11. Studying before going back to school

    Yes, I have been studying for spring semester already. I'm reading and typing notes, one chapter per day for my pediatrics class. I want to be as prepared as possible for next semester. We don't go back til January 28, so I have over a month to get ...
  12. During my Fundamentals of Nursing re-demo of a HEENT eval today, I made a slight goof. My professor later told me she had to hold back her choking and giggles. While examining my "patient's" open mouth with a tongue depressor, I told her the VULVA...
