  1. RN's required to be sitters???

    Though it can be literally mind-numbing as an RN you should be expected to perform all duties within your scope which includes being a sitter. Your fulfilling a patient need. I have had to do this as a unit manager because their was literally no one ...
  2. Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Certification (RN-BC)

    I am taking this test in a month. I don't have a lot of Psych experience but I need it for a job I am applying for to be competitive. Any tips. I have the ANCC book, the momentix study guide, and a another MH test book. Looking for any tips or insigh...
  3. NICU Nurse Resources

    I'd save your $$$ until you start. Many hospitals offer free resources so peruse those first. As a new grad they should be dumping tons of education into you anyway so you won't have time to peruse anything else. Also, there may not be a whole lot o...
  4. New RNs making more than experienced RNs

  8. Lazy patient

    Absolutely not. If they demonstrate the physical and cognitive ability you are only obligated to set them up, ensure that they are safe and leave the call light within reach. By allowing them to perform self-care is taking care of him/her. Bending to...
  9. Need input please

    Get the certified copies and beg for mercy. Be 100% honest and say you forgot about the incident. They probably only want to see that all fines are paid and that the case is closed. If your record i otherwise clean you should be fine.
  10. Important items for Drug Card

    Greetings, I am about half way through my LPN course, and six months away from starting my RN school. My question is "What important information should I be putting on my pharmacology cards to study for the NCLEX?" I am assuming class, uses, adverse ...
  11. Frustrated.. LVN license delayed

    I have only seen that happen processing people for the Army. When did they have you feel out that paperwork? I didn't get asked any of those questions while applying to the school I am in. Was it for the NNCLEX?
