2. Need some job advice

   rariel replied to rariel's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry I guess I should have explained I'm in Canads. We are heavily unionized. I can go into a temporary position and my permanent position is still mine. They hire someone as a temp to cover my position. Once I'm done I go back into my permanent pos...

3. I was scolded on the first day of work

   rariel replied to walkmansky's topic in General Nursing

   I once had a patient accuse me of trying to kill them with pills and call me some very colorful words. You gotta have a thick skin as a nurse. Patients are often at their worst when you see them. Just walk away if they're being verbally abusive and ...

   rariel posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm trying to decide between 2 temporary job positions. One is a 3/4 time on cardiac surveillance unit April next year and the other is on an ICU unit full time until the end of September. Some background info on me: graduated last year, been a nurse...

5. ECG interpretation

   rariel replied to rariel's topic in Cardiac

   I was overthinking it. I figured it out. It's sinus bradycardia with a sinoatrial pause. Thank you all for your insight and answers!

6. ECG interpretation

   rariel replied to rariel's topic in Cardiac

   Maybe that will work. I'm still stuck on the damn thing. I feel like it's super obvious what it is and I'm thinking too hard. It's an irregular rhythm with a missed beat. I'm now trying to figure out if the slight dip is a biphasic T-wave (prolonged ...

9. ECG interpretation

13. Accuracy of Pearson Vue Trick

    rariel posted a topic in NCLEX

    I just took my NCLEX-RN exam today at 08 and finished at 166 questions. I felt awful after the exam. I had lots of priority and SATA questions. I have been checking all day and kept getting the "open exam" message. Just a minute ago I got "Our record...

14. Failed second attempt at final practicum

    rariel replied to rariel's topic in General Students

    I'm in Canada so most everything is paper based. I can't access the MAR or nurse notes to provide evidence that I didn't do what I'm accused of. The Vancomycin was hung up at 0040 but the LPN found it beeping at around 0330. She said it had run dry a...

15. Failed second attempt at final practicum

    In January I made my first attempt at my final practicum. I had 3 month old twins and wasn't getting enough sleep. That combined with hypothyroidism and the stress of full time clinical work ended up with me suffering from postpartum depression. The ...
