    HR stated job abandonment. Walking out immediately at the beginning of one’s shift certainly does constitute job

    The candidate performance reports are not sent when passing. Someone who passed NCLEX on the first attempt would not have received the report in order to be familiar with

    Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

    They forgot texting ?? but those are actually good discharge instructions if you ask

    Overturning a grade is it possible?

    Believe it or not, this is clearly spelled out by my employer. 2 minutes leeway after start of shift is allowed. So if I were to clock in at 0702, I’m good. If I clock in at 0703 I’m late....

    AORN has a forum for ASCs and I believe even a specialty assembly as well. The site is a wealth of info for perioperative

    Caritas-Nursing ethics presentation

    An Amazon search on "Charles Cullen" brings up several books. One of them has a half white cover. Perhaps that's the one you're looking

    Is Periop 101 needed?

    As in the other thread where you posted this question, look at your student resources or reach out to your facility's program

    Periop 101 Final Exam Advice? (2018 / 2017?)

    They are available on the student resources tab of Periop101. If you are not able to find them, reach out to your facility's administrator for assistance. They are not available to the general public;...

    Why do I always look high at work?

    You could always seek a second opinion from another
  14. AORN's position is that nurses should receive at least 40 hours of orientation per specialty. Being in a larger community hospital setting, I wouldn't even begin to guess at what specialties you may...

    Am I violating confidentiality?

    I would consider not only patient privacy laws but also the employer's social media policy. There's a thread here somewhere about a nurse who was fired for posting a picture of himself at work and...

    Job search sites

    Individual facility websites tend to be the most updated. My specialty organization's job postings are all within my specialty, so there's that perk of using

    Periop 101

    Many places of employment will incorporate Periop101 into the orientation process. I know that in my facility, even those who have taken P101 on their own but not worked in the OR are put through the...

    ECPI & Texas Jobs??

    No. This is a common point of misconception. Accreditation is a voluntary action that goes above the minimum. There are 2 bodies that nationally accredit nursing programs: ACEN and CCNE. In order to...

    Bedside / ICU Surgery (Decompressive Laparotomies)

    We don't do bedside laparotomies or thoracotomies, but we have done bedside sternotomies. There is a cart that lives in the ICU that has all supplies in one place- instrument trays, drapes, gowns,...

    ECPI & Texas Jobs??

    You can only hold a compact license provided your permanent residence is in the state in which you applied for it. If you apply for licensure in West Virginia, you could have a compact license...

    ECPI & Texas Jobs??

    If you intend to move to TX before getting your first job, just apply for licensure in TX instead of the state you currently live in. If you apply for a compact license in your current state, as soon...
