Hello,I was wondering how you all determine who gets their blood sugar checked and how often. I would think all DM patients, and those on steroids. What about NPO DM, and so on? Every 4, AC/HS? How...

It depends entirely on the family. Often the family is difficult and critical. However, many times the family are actually very helpful to me, and especially to my PCA's- they do a lot of the little...

Thanks for the great responses! I'm downloading micromedex and medscape now, I'm really hoping that they will work erm, at work. :) (by not having Internet I just mean easily accessible. The...

New nurses often don't know many of the drugs, so I'm wondering how do you usually check medicines: uses, interactions, side effects, allergy cross overs, all of that? Especially since we're supposed...

So far in Ohio for an RN, ASN this is what ive seen- $21-23/hr at a nice hospital w/benefits in smaller areas or Nursing home. $23-25 in larger cities. $27-30/hr at a correctional institution, no...

Thank you for sharing! I would love to see any other peer interview questions. I've got one coming up as well, and i've never even heard of it before!

Awww I really felt like that too! My preceptor was amazing, she literally seemed to know EVERYTHING and could shmooze or cheer up anyone. The only problem with that, was I felt exceptionally inept as...

For SATA I look at each option as a true or false statement. This method takes forever! But it really helps you to break it down and look at each option. A patient is in shock and is showing signs...

Here is the guide- it's been floating around for awhile. I found the 1st 2 pages are best, if you read nothing else, read those. Also, thank you all for your kind comments. I do not really feel...

I spent a lot of time reading the All nurses message boards to prepare for the Nclex, so I wanted to share my strategies, and hopefully help someone as much as AN has helped me. In my opinion, that...
