  1. As your doctor will be the one either performing the tests or referring you to a provider who will be doing the tests, these are questions you should be asking of your care team. They will have the...

    Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    There are times it's appropriate to ask questions. There are times it is 100% INappropriate to ask questions. Sadly, too many students do not understand this. And quite frankly, as an OR nurse, my...

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

    Just remember, like NCLEX, the final is "perfect world". It's not necessarily about how your facility sees things but how AORN sees things. Personally, I would think the best study options would be...

    HIPAA scapegoat

    Working on another floor is only part of the issue. The opening of another unit’s patient list in and of itself is enough of a violation. I can’t decide I just want to randomly take a look at the...

    Challenging Joint Commission

    My facility recently challenged a JC finding successfully regarding immediate use flash sterilization and how they calculated it vs. how it's supposed to be calculated. JC surveyors definitely seem to...

    Nurses secretive about getting another job

    There are 4 letters that come to my mind. MYOB. "Karen" isn't obligated to share her life outside of your shared workplace with anyone. Coming here to talk about it makes me suspect it's also been a...
  7. To be honest, this fixation on Hawaii and earning huge amounts of money seems a bit like an unhealthy obsession to me. It doesn't matter where you live- if you don't fix what's wrong, you will never...

    Tell me about your PeriOP 101 Program

    Our facility has done some trial and error, as well as taking input from previous classes and preceptors. Originally, we set up the periop101 to run for 12 weeks; we now have it for 8 (the exam is...

    Discouraged New Grad

    First, we all walk our own paths. That means you don't have to take anyone with you, especially those who bring negativity into your life. You've graduated- cut the negative person out of your life....

    Transfer schools for Capstone

    Typically, no nursing classes will transfer between programs. While the BON sets the content that must be covered, each school has the flexibility to cover that content in the order/classes they want....

    The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    You do realize, that by human nature, the more vocal are going to be those who are displeased? It is not human nature to post when things are going well. For every nurse who is posting here about...

    Women's Right to Choose

    Doesn't mean they do. My sister's ex-husband is $16,000 behind on child support. I'm of the opinion my body, my choice. For me, I don't know that I could make a choice for abortion- I've never found...

    ARE MOST RN SCHOOLS LIKE THIS??

    Many schools consider 75% failing. The fact that they offer tutoring rather than leaving students to flounder is actually better than

    The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    I just went through OP's post history. Until this past Tuesday, they hadn't posted since 2010. And OP had the same problems with not being able to find a job in 2010. Clearly, OP has no desire to work...

    It's not just nursing that has to contend with transferring licenses. Doctors, lawyers, the list goes on. Heck, in my state electricians, plumbers, and any other number of trade professions must have...

    The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    If not even 1 had a job upon graduation, then it's not just the market. What's going on with the school? Poor reputation? Low NCLEX pass rates? There are programs out there that produce unemployable...

    The point of a discussion is to bring many viewpoints to the table. It does not mean everyone has to agree. Your experience is your experience and no one can deny it. However, that doesn’t mean your...
