Has anyone heard this saying before? How did you respond? I cannot find any sort of policy at my institution for situations like this. I normally let this slide depending on the acuity of the patient. However if its a ICU level, I immediately ask for break relief RN or the charge RN.

Be the role model for those new grads.

Depending on the type of nursing school you are applying to, start reviewing for the TEAS or HESI (or related nursing school entrance exam)

I would want more evidence based research articles/studies for anything marijuana related.

I am happy with the work I do. I am unhappy with most of the people I work with.

Definitely works! My original MedSurg unit became specialized in Oncology. We switched from 1:5 to 1:4. That allows more time to research any new patient's history. I get to be more hands on and less time at a computer.

Keep waiting for your exam. You should go on vacation in the mean time.

To my knowledge, you should research "endorsing your UT RN license" to California. The process takes MONTHS to complete.

If i see family at the bedside, from the get-go, I would just ask "Hi ___ I just got on, and for my clarification, is it okay to discuss details about your care while family members are present?" Most of the time, my patients gives consent.

If the question was asking "What would be your first intervention?" Nasal Cannula would make sense. You are able to contest that question to your professor if you have other classmates with the same thought process and selected answer.

If I get a Neo-Nazi patient; as long as he/she doesn't jeopardize my safety or try to trigger a reaction out of me, then I will continue to do my nursing duty.

I can understand the Emergency Department doing this.

Are there any good come backs for snide remarks of "Well it's YOUR license then"? Especially when you're following policy.

I would delete this. The AN community can be very toxic.

It's better to lose a job rather than lose your license
