    Jury Duty

    Seek clarification from your facility’s policies- most likely there is one that addresses jury duty. My facility will still leave the schedule as is in case the person summoned is

    Failed -- unacceptable reason

    Failing because of 1 point in an exam means you have been borderline for quite some time. Repeat the course, and this time understand why you were so close to the edge and have a plan to prevent that....

    MSN but offered the salary of ADN

    There are many places that don't pay differently for those doing the same job with a different degree. They pay to the license, not the letters behind one's name. I would negotiate based on...

    Overturning a grade is it possible?

    What happens with other students is not your concern. You don't know what may have happened in private meetings. What I see here is excuses and not admitting that your actions led to what happened...

    AITA?

    There’s patient abandonment, which is what you’re thinking of, and then there’s job abandonment where one simply walks off, which is exactly what OP did and also stated job

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    I wouldn't. An Ivy League degree doesn't mean in nursing what it would in, say, law. Why take on the cost? Ideally, student loans wouldn't exceed what you could reasonably earn in your first year of...

    Multistate licensure confusion

    Where you take your exam has nothing to do with where your license is issued. The state in which you apply for licensure will determine what state gives you a license. If you want to hold a compact...

    AITA?

    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....

    Favorite site for CEU's

    Primarily my specialty organization as it’s relative to my practice, then CE Direct which provides options for state required

    Surgical Center Nursing

    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
  21. 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...
