If you can't give it in the deltoid, I'd assume the glute or vastus lateralis.

My school had us fit for N95s just in case, but they won't and will not allow us to be assigned to COVID-19 patients.

How did you end up doing? I know LTC can really wear you down sometimes. Do you have any questions? I think of myself as pretty well-versed in LTC.

I graduate in about 4 months (yay!!) with my ASN/RN. After I take the NCLEX, I obviously plan on working! So I have two questions: When should I start applying for new grad RN programs/jobs? I think I want to start with med surg in a hospital, b...

Last time I took med surg 1, I failed every since test, including the final. Today, I took my first exam once again, preparing to fail. Instead, I got a 78%!! At my school, 73%+ is passing. I cannot be more happy right now. I feel like I deserve it a...

So, I'm heading to the med surg 2/critical care semester, my last semester in ADN school in about three weeks! Does anyone have any tips for me?

Absolutely! Sometimes I get happy when bad coworkers call off LOL. But when my favorites aren't there or call out, it's definitely a bad vibe for the day.

No, not at my school at least. We need a 73 for our projects and such to be added. So I think it's similar to yours.

This is soooo true. I just finished my third semester of RN school, onto the fourth. May this time between now and May pass quickly!

I PASSED MY FINAL EXAM!!! I got a 76!! I finally defeated the semester that once destroyed me!! One more semester until I'm an RN!!

Absolutely beautiful. Just because we're away from our families during holidays (and any other time, for that matter) doesn't mean we can't have fun and make lasting memories with our patients!

I get you want to keep your business away from other staff, but really? You couldn't give her a few minutes of your time? No offense, but I would not want a nurse like you taking care of me, man to man. I can't imagine being so rigid and uncarin...

By this logic, would they expect the full-timer to never get sick or need a day off? This job sounds shifty. It's a big no from me. ?‍♂️

I bombed my exam today, I got a 70%. The good news is that I only need a 66% on my final to pass. I'm feeling very low right now though. Disappointed in myself for sure....

So proud of you! I needed to hear this with another exam tomorrow ?

Monday, I got an 80% on my second exam! This feels so unreal. I'm so happy! ? One more exam then the final. Then onto my last semester!!

I feel this way sometimes. I go to work at the nursing home and go "Okay, now it's all on me?" and it doesn't feel real. Soon I'll feel the same way with my RN....

This is a very interesting thread! I had a job at Dunkin' Donuts for awhile. I worked there, and finally got my driver's license after my boyfriend taught me how to drive. Being in school for journalism, I eventually stopped going to my school b...

I love bedside nursing! I currently do rehab and LTC. Can't wait to become an RN and possibly do hospital specialties and med surg!

More opportunities lie in nursing home! Long-term care and SNF (rehab etc) facilities are very predictable, and they tend to pay pretty well. They're always hiring too, so you'd be a shoe-in! Good luck with everything ?

Nowadays, it seems to open more doors than close them. I guess I wouldn't say I'm "excited" for it. ?‍♂️ I also need it for my job and nursing school, so I guess it's the "golden ticket".

I'd imagine people who leave their job due to the mandate will have a very hard time finding a new job, unless they lied on the reason they left their past job. It's only going to get more and more mandated. So yeah, good luck with that. Vaccina...

I can completely relate, as I have s/sx of bipolar type 1 and I'm on meds for it. I've also had a similar heparin incident. Just know that you can only do your best. We all make mistakes. It's a shame we have to go into work during our low times. You...

Flat out, all nursing school cares about is if you can pass exams/the NCLEX. Nothing else. That's that.

This similar situation happened to me. I agree with the other posters, it's not always your fault.
