    Listing a presentation on a resume

    chare replied to twotoo's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Either style should be acceptable. However, you might review the program's website for their preferred style. If you are unable to determine this, you might consider APA as it seems to be more...

    Transferring to Another Compact State

    chare replied to RN56377's topic in General Nursing

    The process of endorsing your license from one enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC) to another is rather easy. When you relocate to the new eNLC state and apply for licensure, you can work on your...

    Can you switch from a FNP to an ANP or NNP

    chare replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, it's possible. As to how long it would take, this will depend on how the program is set up. FNP to ACNP, as a post master's certificate should be doable in 2 to 3 semesters as all you should...

    Sign A Consent Without Witnessing Actual Signature

    chare replied to knotizer12's topic in General Nursing

    Mandatory Uniforms

    chare replied to StudentRNmt's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I completely agree with a stricter dress code. But, I would settle for enforcing the one that we have. However, mandating scrubs and color-coding staff isn't the answer; particularly if you continue...

    Mandatory Uniforms

    chare replied to StudentRNmt's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    As for scrubs, I don't understand this love affair with them. Nor do I think they are appropriate outside of the OR and a few specialty units (e.g., burns, CTICU, etc.) As for color coding staff, I...

    PCCN vs CCRN

    chare replied to gigirose's topic in General Nursing

    There is no longer any practice requirement to write the CCRN. All that is required is to have either 1750 or 2000 hours providing "direct bedside care of acutely and/or critically ill patients" in...

    CA license, Dec. graduate - license OOS and transfer, or wait to return to CA?

    chare replied to altavista's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for clarifying this, I wasn't aware any states still granted authorization to test prior to actual graduation. However, once authorized by a state's BON he should still be able to test at...

    CA license, Dec. graduate - license OOS and transfer, or wait to return to CA?

    chare replied to altavista's topic in General Nursing

    So far as I know, you can't write the NCLEX for any state until after you've graduated. However, once you have graduated, you can apply for initial licensure in one state, and actually write the...

    Hipaa violation

    chare replied to nurse2097482's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This really shouldn't be happening, and you definitely should not be allowing others to access the EMR under your login. Your employer doesn't have to f"fully prove who looked at the charts" as...

    POST OP CARDIAC Filters on INFUSIONS?

    chare replied to bame rn's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    We don't routinely use filters, but will if required for specific infusions (e.g., amiodarone, lipids). When I use a filter I place it on the syringe. We use the Medfusion

    Can I apply for a California RN license, but work in Nevada?

    chare replied to Martin095's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with twinsmom788; if you know that you are going to stay and apply for positions in NV, it only makes sense to apply for initial licensure there as opposed to CA. As for applying for initial...

    Called off too many times?

    chare replied to MS0298's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Then you're likely not near the number on which the disciplinary process begins. But, you really should review your facility's attendance policy, and you might consider discussing this with your...

    Help me out here....

    chare replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious, as I've not seen this, what type system you're using in which the water seal is between the patient and collection device.

    Called off too many times?

    chare replied to MS0298's topic in Health, Stress Management

    How many times, exactly have you called off? And the fact that they all have been "related to health problems" might not be helpful as many facilities don't make a distinction as to reason for...

    Safe dosage calculation

    chare replied to Laken1991's topic in Pediatric

    In my practice, I complete all calculations and round my final answer. This isn't based on anything other than personal preference. And when I do round, I base the number of decimal places or...

    dosage calculations help

    chare replied to Rhianonin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, the 50% does not equal 0.5 g. The 50% denotes a percent strength solution. In a percent strength solution the % designates the number of grams of substance diluted to a total volume of 100 mL....
