What state do you work in? I think here in California they give you the amount of hours in covid pay that you work on a weekly basis, if you work 24 hours a week then you are given 48 hours or two weeks pay to recover.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

Pt comes in c/o dizziness n/v, pt is paced. Md orders for CM to set up pacer check appt made for 11/14. Telemetry calls and asked CN what type of pacer does the pt have? Asked pt he does not know, tele tech stated the pacer may be malfunctioning, CN ...

Pacer was checked, it was failing to pace. Pt requested to be sent to SNF because he lived alone and only had a caregiver 3 hours a day. He has a follow up with Cardio. He stated he is 98 yrs old he probably won't pursue anything drastic just didn't ...

17:00 at my facility

I ask my manager to cover for me if I'm too busy to take a lunch! If you start doing that maybe they will find someone to cover for you!

Regardless of your title you should not be treated badly. People can be mean! I am an RN and I treat everyone from the MD's to the housekeeping to the girl that delivers the food trays with the same respect! Unless they have done something not to me ...

Congrats! I'm happy it worked out for you! Being you are single maybe look into travel nursing! That would be fun! You can go to Key West for 3 months then Alaska the next 3 months! I would if I were single and I didn't have a school aged son! So I h...

I started the BSN to MSN bridge I'm looking at a year just for my BSN, how long after that will it take for the FNP? Thank you in advance for any replies!

How long does it take for you to discharge a patient? And what does your facility require you to put in your discharge? It literally takes hours where I work. I am just trying to research why it takes that long. Thank you in advance for any responses...

Ok I'm taking transitions and Cultural Diversity this session. I'm so nervous, I have had one online class my whole life! I am thankful though I have a lady I work with that has been with Chamberlain for awhile and she is going to help me through thi...

I'm thinking nursing transition and algebra. They accepted my English Comp so I don't need to take that, but I need a math class prior to statistics. Which I do not mind because I would rather have a tooth pulled before I take an English class again!...

I literally just applied and will be starting the 28th as well! I'm so excited to get back to school and finish up! I am doing the RN-BSN-MSN, if my calculations are right it will be 32 months before I am finished. 32 months are going to pass regardl...

That's all I would work extra per paid period, anymore than that I change my deductions on my w2 so all my OT does not go to my uncle! Then of course I change it back after the pay period. It's very common where I work at. Just my experience. I am no...

What's going to be bad is if you take this position and then you are offered a full time position some where else after this company has put money into training you and you quit on them in a few months. I am not saying don't take the job at all, I'm ...

I tried the same thing three years ago and got the same reply and I passed. And a friend tried and it let her register for another test and she failed. Just telling you about my experience. Not making any suggestions.

I received my ADN from West Coast University prior to their accreditation with CCNE or even WASC, but the program was approved by the California BON. My question is that I want to go back to get my BSN online through chamberlain but I'm afraid they w...

Thank you for the information

Don't take it personal, how much experience do these other nurses have? But then again you can sit down with your charge nurse and have a professional conversation about how you feel. And ask her for help that's what charge nurses are for. Does charg...

How did the interview go? I hope you get the job! I love med surg! It's hectic but so worth it!

Sounds very harsh for just missing colace for 2 days! Did the patient end up with an obstruction or something due to constipation? Sounds like to me something else was going on, not necessarily something you did, maybe something someone else did and ...

I never take another persons word on medications! Always look at your mar! It would not hold up in court if you told them you went by what the prior nurse said. Lesson learned always look at the mar and check your orders!

Patient falls, attitudes and barriers and prevention of falls

Wear your scrubs!

Absolutely not! If you didn't like it the first time you won't like it now! Don't go into a career because it's flexible and you can make good money! You will be one miserable person in the long run! You only have one life make the best of it! Do som...
