I oriented as a scrub nurse 3 times but I still don't quite have the hang of it. I don't exactly know the general order to hand off the instruments. The doctor was upset with me because he said I...
I recently had a talk with my nursing supervisor and apparently some of the staff have been mistaking my inverted/shy personality for not caring. For example, when someone says I forgot to document...
thank you so much everyone, i will most definitely take your advices ASAP, again i love my job and i want to be the best nurse possible (i pray every day before i go to work) and learning is huge for...
My question is when a decel occurs immediately following an epidural loading dose, is it wrong to let the pt know that the epidural can cause this? I was told by the charge nurse to never let the pt...
Although I work at a small hospital, our OB department actually has their own ORs and they require us (OB nurses) to scrub for the c-sections. They have us orient to scrub for 3 c-sections and...
Long story short, I quit my job recently after 3 years because it was unsafe and management just didn't care. Nurses don't work together, it felt like high school with all the gossip and back...
My friend took her board before she started her GN orientation/position and failed. She wanted to know if she's required to let them know that she failed the boards. Her job is offering a huge loan...
I asked ONE question for a friend and passed on the information, I don't believe that's being overly active--it's what friends do. We all have friends that are internet savvy and others who aren't....
no need for the quotes around the word friend, i posted a while back in the nclex boards saying i passed, my friend took her test about 2 weeks after i took mine. and i have no idea what she decided...
In the state of CT, you do lose your GN status once you take the NCLEX. I had to find out this info for my friend. I don't think it's fair but that's what it
I called her and she's still not picking up my phone calls (just quickly answers my emails) so I left her a message. I really don't think that she's thinking at all right now and just might be...
In the course book it clearly states that on the questions trainers you need between a 60-65%. I believe it's in the introduction section. I agree with the other posters, if she's kicking students...
My friend and I studied a lot together for the NCLEX RN. I took my exam 2 weeks earlier than she did (passed). I found the licensing website for the state for her and noted that some of the people...
Thank you for your advice. She studied so hard and even lost a lot of weight on her already thin frame. I feel so horrible for her and when she's ready to talk we're going to be there for her....
I took the Kaplan course and it teaches you mainly how to answer the questions (as you already know). I believe I needed that and also a review of the materials (which you can review by watching the...
I just found out my results, I was shaking. I got about 2 math questions, 2 select all that apply, a few med questions and a ton of priority questions (it was one after another after another in the...
Thanks everyone! I also wanted to mention that I did have a lot of infection control questions as well. Congratulations to everyone that's passed and those who gave it their best because no matter...
