Any chance of taking it in a nearby state? Never heard of this, what state are you in?

I haven't run into this issue with not recognizing one another but I do notice when I see others out of scrubs that they either look thinner or heavier. Scrubs can be flattering to those who need...

Honesty is always the best answer. You forgot to renew your license and per their policy you were terminated. Don't apologize for making a mistake. Just be confident and if they ask, explain that it...

Am currently in an NP program. Yes advanced patho and pharmacology had exams but those have been the only two so far. Clinicals include SOAP notes. All the rest are papers.

I'm going to tackle it next semester and take only AP and no other classes. Have to make a B or better or will have to repeat. I am reading the book this semester and making condensed notes. Hoping...

I work full-time and take 6-9 hours per semester. When it comes time for clinicals I'm going to either cut down to part-time or PRN. You can do it! I am married and have children at home. Grown in...

I agree. Giving verbal report is much more effective. Writing is best saved for good/accurate charting. I prefer verbal report too!

My BSN and MSN degrees were 90% research papers. Very, very few exams. No memorization. Where are you attending your NP program?

I am so sorry. This just does not sound right, I've never heard of such a thing. Me? I would call the department head and if I still didn't get any satisfaction I would call the president of the...

I think go with the consensus, graduate, never wear the hat again and put your energy into studying for the NCLEX and enjoy being a graduate!

I have worked in drug addiction in the past and I can tell you for certain that it is a rare, strong, and courageous person who can overcome their addiction. I don't think most people realize how...

The facility where I work went over to all black scrubs for nurses in March of 2011. We were all shocked! Patients even asked if we were in mourning for the first few months. I had a procedure at...

You do not understand the pattern of addiction. The OP should be respected for staying clean and wanting to move on with her life. I applaud her.

GA_RN I've never taken drugs either but I've always believed that "but for the grace of God go I" I have worked with nurses who have been suspended for diverting drugs. They were able to go...

Actually I filled out an SOE each time 0630 meds were not given, this was per the direction of my manager and copies automatically go to the CNO. My manager told me, don't confront, just report.

Long story short. My nurse manager told me that one of night nurses thought that I didn't like them and my manager said would you please talk to this nurse face to face and settle this issue? I...

Nurses get sick and when they do they should stay home and not subject the patients and their co-workers to their illness. Whether they are contagious or not, if you're too sick to work, you stay...

It sounds to me like the NM should be spending more time on the floor observing rather than taking the word of others. This includes both the day and night shift. Been there, done that. Some people...

Yep, BSN was 90% papers and MSN is even more. Once you start writing you won't hate it so much. It just kinda starts becoming normal and gets easier as you go on because you learn how to do research...

They are worried that you, as a caring, compassionate, and very capable healthcare professional, will steal their business. They are students with ego's so big I doubt they'll fit through any doors...

I don't give any personal information. Period.

I use PERRLA.com It's $34.95 a year and worth every single penny! You type and it automatically formats your paper, your title page and your bibiography page with all the reference. It has made my...

No, no time to do more than meds. I wish, but no.

I totally agree with Med/Surg if you want to do HH with intermittant visits.

There's no way to determine how many questions you will have. When the test cuts off that tells you how many questions were needed to determine if you passed. Therefore if it stopped at 200 then...
