I am failing by a few points. And wondering if anyone could give me further advice. How do you know you are failing by a few points? I thought you only get pass or fail not actual marks, just curious!

This is also my personal pet peeve. I come to work on time (actually 15 to 30 min before, you know to socialize) and yet there are others who walk in at 7:05 or later. This is not a one time deal some are always late. People listen the tape starts a...

Sorry Multiply by 60 My bad.

The first equation. 22cc/hr = 22 mg/hr convert mg to mcg and divide by 60. The second equation not sure, would have to look it up

I know this is an old post, but Alberta is still taking diploma graduates. Also the diploma here is three years not 2. Then to complete your degree it is an aditional 1 year of full time classes. d

Alberta Start 27.12 Top of scale 35.60 Degree + 1.25 Other certifications are also reconized and paid for. Shift diff 1.75 (Evenings) 2.00 (nights) 1.75 (weekends)

Yay to that. I have been very fortunate thus far, only getting yelled at by one doc for calling him for an insulin order. He said thats not my paitent why are you calling me- um because you were consulted re. The patients diabetes and wrote the order...

Please tell me... where would WE ever find time to phone the Doc every 10 minutes? But if the Doc has not written PRN orders, :angryfire Thus in my opinion not respecting nursing judgement, then yes I would call them for everything, including plain T...

I am a new grad as well, and from someone who has been there... move on it happens. In this situation I would have called the *on call* surgeon Not the primary or the "orignal" surgeon, Thats why they have on call rotations. To allow everyone to have...

We run fluids at TKO, loose a site and you have to poke again. Usually 10-50cc/hr depending on the size of the kid. IF the babe has a day pass for whatever reason we hep lock and pray its still patent when they get back. SL clot pretty fast. :yea...

Where did you get the impression I am A student? I do work bedside nursing. I didnt mean to offend you, But I can express MY opinion.

We have one Doc that writes Please after all of his orders. When it was commented on he said, would you prefer if I write do it now bi**h lol. Most of the docs I work with are wonderful. But everyone can have a bad day nurses included.

Well, you might be sadly mistaken. In Canada, Where I am Diploma and Degree nurses write the SAME national exam. If the extra time in school taught so much extra... why not have a higher level exam? It isnt needed. I just need to learn how to write ...

Help! I need to do a gastric washing on a ten month old and I have never done it before! Was told by the off going shift to... look at the policy and procedure manual. I am still not sure I got it. Any suggestions?

Canada doesnt have a province called Flordia? In Alberta entery to practice is still a diploma. Degree optional. In the Eastern provinces, Ont, PEI, NFLD entery to practice is BN or BSCN

I would do RN where I work the LPN's do basically the same jobs as the RN's and get paid a lot less. I started as an RN at 28.75, no experience. LPN at the top of the pay scale 10 yrs experience get paid 18.75 per hour. The only difference is- they c...

YES, Both are much the same, I had to insert NGT instill 20 cc sterile h2o and take it back out to get the respiratory secretions for AFB. Thanks! BTW had to do it 3 days in a row, kid had to be NPO for 5 hours prior.

1. Do not let your 14 year old self medicate with Tylenol for a "fever" until she ends up in hosp. on mucomyst protocol. :angryfire 2. Temp of 37.2 is not sepsis 3. Alcohol causes your pancreatitis- STOP drinking. 4. You can not live here, If you ha...

I am a new grad on a surgical/ paediatrics floor. I too felt that you shouldnt be agressive with post op patients. BIG mistake 13 yo appy, ended up with an ileus b/c he didnt get up and move around enough. Ended up in ICU for a week and needed 4 more...

HI, I wrote the NEW CRNE June 8 2005. The short answer questions were pretty easy. The first part of the exam was easy. (left laughing) :wink2: Second part... HARD. (LEFT DOUMBFOUNDED). The thing that prepared me the most was my preceptorship on pe...
