I've got about a year before I can take my ONC test. What books are useful? I wouldn't mind an edition behind that might be a little cheaper. I know there is one on the NAON website, but want to...

They shouldn't. The 504 plan is not a get out jail free card. It is a protection for them and the other kids. If a kid is that violent, the is usually an alternative placement. My child has one and...

That is why there are counselors, behavior plans, medication. Parents sometimes need to be educated that it may be necessary for medication. Unfortunately there are those that just think that it...

Graduated last year from ADN program 2 days after my 48th birthday. Did everything late: had my first child at 37 and the second, and last, 2 months before my 40th birthday. Age is all in your...

Hired at a nationally ranked top 10 magnet. With an ADN. New grad program. About 1/3 in program are ADNs.

They have a disability and may NOT be able to control their behavior!!!!! They need help and structure, not discipline. Many autistic children have behavior issues. Are you all saying they should be...

I have a longish drive home, so I listen to a special playlist that I have put together just for such occasions and I CRANK it. :)

Not where I went to school!!! I was in an ADN program.We had a 6 point scale. I had a class average for one of my classes that was 86.4. That was a C. After a year of making nearly impossible to get...

Duke just posted new grad positions. Med/surg being one of them.

That is a dangerous generalization. I have a child with Type 1, ADHD and a behavior disorder. Believe me, he had heard the word NO. There has to be a determination that unwanted behaviors are not a...

Somebody just asked me that recently. I just took care of prisoner. I treated that person with compassion as I would any other. I took an oath and I take it seriously. It is not for me to judge.

I don't know how many they interviewed for my position, but 6 were hired and they are hiring more. Honestly, if you are shadowing, you are on the fast track. I wore black pants, a black and white...

I had a shadow interview, too. I just wore clean, pressed scrubs. It's kind of a working interview. I was on the floor with one of the nurses for an hour and then interviewed with the manager for...

they usually post new grad (clincal nurse I) positions the last week of the month. they have different types of programs. GEMS, SNIPS. Just read the descriptions. I am in a SNIP program which is a 6...

Where I worked previously, they were budgeted certain positions. I applied for and was offered a better job, my dream job, but I really liked my old boss and people I worked with. I asked about being...

You will probably have 2 weeks of corporate orientation, computer training, etc., and then when you go to the floor, nights.

NC is missing a bunch, too. UNC-Chapel Hill and Rex are two biggies missing.

We have a cardstock sheet that we fill out in pencil each shift as things change so there is consistency in the report. Is has what procedure, what day hosp/sx; relevant hx, IV details, diet,...

I love it at Duke! I have a friend in oncology and that is supposed to be one of the nicest floors. It is very friendly to new people. there is a constant stream of new people whether it is new...

We had standing orders for labs AFTER MD saw them. Usually BMP, CBC w/diff, PT/INR if on coumadin and u/a w/ c&s.

and they will tell you at your new job that you don't need it. Get it anyway. :)

I didn't get very good reviews??? I am not spending $40 for a so-so book. Any other books that are helpful?

I am in the SNIP program, I had to commit to 2 years. I love working at Duke. Fairly seamless with interviews, orientation, communication (other than they are short in the HR dept). I don't know...

I worked LTC for a while and I agree that they need to get computerized. There were protocols in place for controlled meds: counts, wastes, documentation for both. For the "regular meds, there was no...

I was just telling some of my old classmates (I am a May '12 grad) about a girl in my Ethics class (getting ready for an RN-BSN program) who tells me she won't have any trouble in Nursing school,...
