2. Can I apply for a job before I graduate?

   Cosper123 replied to dine saw's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah you can and I would. I chose to wait until after my boards as I didn't want to get a job and then not be eligble for it. That was a huge mistake as many got a jump on me and by time I was ready to apply I was behind the curve.

3. documentation & pain

   Cosper123 replied to Sunrise2009's topic in General Nursing

   Was there a way to validate that the pain medication was given? Who ultimately was responsible for this patient? I'd chart it as you did with just sticking to the facts and not adding anything additional to the info. For example I wouldn't put "scre...

4. Nurses: Remember The Calling?

   Cosper123 replied to pedsnursing's topic in General Nursing

   I don't consider it a calling for me. There was no one event that pushed me into this career. After various jobs helping others, from psyciatric to traumatic brain injury...just figured I should be paid better for all of my efforts and care. What an...

5. Nurse Manager threatening to report me to BRN...

   Cosper123 replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

   Actually no way in any form was I ever an accomplice. I reported it verbally to a supervisor and that is the extent of my responsibility per the BRN. More is expected of the Charge Nurse as I understand it. Because it wasn't my job. Between thr...

   She pulled me into her office and said that someone else had told her that I and a few others witnessed this occure, and asked what I saw. Did not realise at the time I'd be pulled into this nonsense simply by doing the right thing. In any case yeah ...

8. Nurse Manager threatening to report me to BRN...

   Cosper123 replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

   Reason I am uncomfortable writing it is that this person has been here awhile and has friends up the chain. He's already gone after another person after learning they had reported him for a similar incident. This is a bunch of immature nonsense and I...

   Cosper123 posted a topic in General Nursing

   There's a fellow RN on the job who is suspected of sleeping on the job. NM calls me into the office the other day and says that my name was given as a witness to this incident. I told her yes that it appeared as though he was sleeping. She states tha...

10. Why won't anyone hire new grads?

    Cosper123 replied to LvHaloRN's topic in Nevada

    Yeah it's tough, took me an entire year to nab a job. Granted I messed around for awhile, we moved...and for a good amount of time my job searching was half-hearted. Once I got serious it still took six months until I finally lined one up. Firstly yo...

    Cosper123 replied to crunchymomx3's topic in NCLEX

    Well they aren't basic infection control like what gear to wear in this situation. You're given, for example, a bunch of diseases and need to know how each on transmits. Other ones are you have a patient with this, who do you room them with, that so...

13. Home from the NCLEX. Done in 75

    Cosper123 replied to crunchymomx3's topic in NCLEX

    Yeah I just took it today and feel horrible about it simply because of how it started out. 9 select all that apply before hitting question 18...talk about a quick slap in the face. By the end of the test I had 17 out of 75 that were SATA. Seeing as ...

14. NCLEX help

    Cosper123 replied to sweetart4988's topic in NCLEX

    Ditch the fun for sleep. Hang in there, you have worked very hard to get to this point and you're almost there. One more giant education hoop to jump through, then you can move on to the hoops of hospital politics :)

15. PDA Nursing programs

    Cosper123 replied to Tabula-rasa's topic in General Students

    Yes you have to pay for the new versions of drug guides and such, just as you would with the book. You don't lose access to the program though when a new version comes out, you simply stop updating. So it's pretty much the same as if you had the boo...
