Experience isn't what the BON (any BON) cares about. If you have passed NCLEX in your state all you do is apply to the new state for licensure by reciprocity and do what they tell you to do (pay...

There are a lot of calculated answers given here...and they are all wrong, because the question doesn't give you enough information to do any calculation at all. Actually, Loriangel and CNorman are...

The only caveat that should accompany this opinion is that many people whose best nursing school effort garners them Cs in first year do not pass second year. Second year requires you to have a good...

If you can get a deal like that, take it. I would expect that you would have preference in hiring, since they already have your name on a contract. But this is a good question to ask the hospital...

You had to have had at least intro algebra to get into nursing school. All medication calcs are "solve for x." They're actually easier than most of algebra. If you can go to the grocery store and...

If you are a new grad (and you are) and have just passed NCLEX in CA anyone will know that you have completed the required clinical rotations to have done that, and they know what they are no matter...

I don't been to be rude, but how did you graduate from nursing school without knowing the answer to this question? I can't think of a single nursing school that doesn't address this extensively. ...

" Put deadbolts on the doors on the outisde." (sic) That said to me, "On the outside of the doors (plural)." No doors should have deadbolts on the outside, none of them, because anyone on the...

Thanks. ::sigh:: Just don't ask me how much a liter of water weighs in pounds. ::still blushing::

Clivia's right. "A pint's a pound, the world around." One liter is about a quart, and a quart is two pints, so a liter is about 2 pounds (2.2, actually). My bad, typing too fast. I am sooooo...

"Off-topic" :) Sorry to be late to this party-- been traveling.

Not a HIPAA violation. Not. Not, not, not, and if they told you it was, they are wrong or they are lying for some reason. Health information related to care or diagnostics being given is not a HIPAA...

That would be .... none. The focus of the article was on the feelings and stresses of those nurses. BTW, I read it in the original when it came out in the Boston Globe and the reporter has a good...

I lived in Seattle 9 yrs and got my MN at the UW. Awesome, awesome school, wonderful city to live in, great hospitals. Excellent public transportation, many cool and interesting neighborhoods to live...

I had a stellar 2.85 as an undergrad (worked three days a week and had an active social life) and so when I wanted to go to grad school 7 years later they told me I wasn't a good candidate. I said,...

Bio is going to be a prereq for any real nursing program. I think you already know the answer to your question. You'll have to pass it, and get at least a B.

That would be .... all of it. Why would there be any doubt in your mind? Did someone give you the impression that nurses "just follow doctor's orders" without any responsibility for autonomous...

I doubt very much that the procedure for a doc to sink a Salem sump is one bit different from the way I would do it...but with someone with varices, at least when they tear the doc is still there to...

I did CPR in my ICU/CCU/stepdown charge job at 8 1/2 months. It was pretty dang crowded with my belly and me kneeling up on that bed, but hey. Early? I never had an early baby. I WISH. I had a...

OP: Yeah, that would pretty much be ... all of us. Go forth, make a good act of contrition (oh, right, you did that :) ) and sin no more. Have a good night's sleep, fergawdsakes. :) :flwrhrts:

1) You can change your posting name by going to your Dashboard and asking the Mods for help. Anyone as literate and thoughtful as you understands the power of words to influence perception. Lose that...

It's never a good idea to rely on the tech/housekeeper/phlebotomist/chaplain to translate. Chances are that one or both of the following will occur: 1) The translator won't understand what you mean...

There are plenty of people who can''t get nursing jobs; it's not you (assuming you graduated and passed NCLEX, you're qualified). I repeat: IT'S NOT YOU. (Sorry for shouting) Your mother is a mean...

Your best plan is to identify where you will live in the US and then contact the board of registration in nursing for that state -- every state has its own, because there is no national licensure...

Yeah, the myoglobin from crushed or necrotic muscle cells clogs up them teeny renal parts something fierce-- did you notice that brownish urine? Gotta keep 'em flushing out. Sure, your CHFr needs...
