  1. MRSA help!

    Your health should not be at risk if you treat every patient with universal precautions. Many people (likely including you!) are colonized with MRSA, meaning that it's present in their...
  2. Please help (my nursing story to date)

    I'd have to agree. If you have a bad feeling before even starting, don't do it!! There are too many opportunities and varied areas available in nursing to do something you a) are physically ill...
  3. Because the question is how much would you administer for 11am. So you'd be looking at the losses fom the last hour - which was 70cc. 70 + 250 =
  4. I think she said "underage" which would imply it was not between consenting adults. I happen to agree with you, although I don't appreciate the implication that Australians are ignorant fools sitting...
  5. Transferring license

    There are no reciprocal agreements at all, as I understand it. You just apply for "licensure by endorsement" to endorse your license from one state to another (and pay the fees etc to do so). You...
  6. Any mods on right now?

    Which
  7. Help! Need info bout nj to ny reciprocity...

    The process is called "licensure by endorsement", not reciprocity. I believe you need to fulfil NY's requirements including getting the CVS report (report on your education and licensure) from CGFNS....
  8. cna's who don't do their job

    Is there a group of people who have experienced her behaviour so that you could go to the NM as a group? This would shift the focus off you as a "tattletale" and move it more to an issue of poor...
  9. surgical prep shave vs clip???

    I believe the CDC site has recommendations about this (clip and not shave).
  10. no holiday or weekend pay?!?!

    None that I'd work
  11. need HELP ON CVS-NY APPLICATION

    The application needs to be notorized at the US Embassy, that stamp will go over your signature. Do not sign it until you are at the Embassy. Suzanne answered about the signature

  13. I don't think the passing rate is 100% since someone posted here that they used it but failed... but it's certainly higher than anything else I've
  14. US Nurses Wishing to Work Overseas

    Don't know sorry, it was some time ago. You could try posting a question in the "Questions for Suzanne4" thread, as she was the one who answered the question last time I
  15. Bayer, the manufacturer of Trasylol, contracted a CRO to perform retrospective analysis of around 60000 pts who received either Trasylol or another drug (aminocaproic acid, tranexamic acid). Trasylol...
  16. New study bad news for Trasylol

    I agree, we still see it used on everyone. Perhaps it's worth a randomized controlled trial, or a practice change to give it only to those at high risk of bleeding
  17. AOS and EAD

    No, you get the EAD while the AOS is being considered. Once the AOS is approved, you don't need the EAD, since you'll be able to get a SSN and have a work
  18. Help after passing NCLEX-RN (Illinois)

    The BON do not assign SSN's, Social Security do when you get there with a valid work visa. Do you mean they assigned a license
  19. US SS # and licensure by endorsement

  20. anyone took 2 weeks to prepare?

    To "helloyou" - a vast majority of people can and do pass the NCLEX exams, most on their first try. If you spent as much time studying as posting rants about the exam, it might be
  21. Protocol

    What a generous person you are to even think of this in your time of grief! They'd love it, and appreciate it greatly. Knowing you made something like that the tiniest bit easier is why they do

  23. When do you worry??? New RN ???'s

    I'd need more info about the patient to make an educated guess, but ALWAYS trust your gut. If you think "something is not right" - go with that. Every time I have ignored that voice within, I've...
  24. i feel helpless and dumb...

    You have plenty of time to make a thorough study plan!! You have all the knowledge, now you just need to practice the questions. You'll do fine, just start
  25. I think it's for the 06-07 licensing year, so you should be able to participate once you get your licence. I think they are sending the info out with the license
