We are taught to think critically as RNs, right? I was in a meeting yesterday regarding pain management on our orthopedic unit. We've been internally audited and found to be praciticing out of our...

I work on a very busy strictly ortho unit. For all of our surgeries, it depends on the doc. We have a couple of docs who order the incisions to be OTA starting POD2. But for most of the docs, they do...

I'm a new grad of 2 months and got my job by attending a senior nursing student open house. I went on a unit tour and made a point to connect with the nurse manager of one of the units. I e-mailed...

I was surprised to learn how competitve and petty instructors and students are. Some people are super nit-picky and others could care less. I love the instructors who say, "You know what, you'll...

Aspiring in Cali. I grew up in the RP, speak Tagalog but am not a Filipino. My parents still live and work there. I too have a BA and wanted to go back to school for nursing. I thought about going...

I just found out last week that I have been accepted into a brand new Entry-Level Master's program (EL-MSN). It's at a state school so the fees are very reasonable. The first 18 months focus only on...
