    NCLEX RN 68 questions

    RNNPICU replied to ocleo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    SATA as the last question means nothing. As for 68 questions versus any other number, it is simply the number where you reached a point that the test determined that no additional questions would lead...

    I keep getting cancelled.. help :(

    RNNPICU replied to Heather Danielle's topic in General Nursing

    PollywogNP: I agree. I feel for the OP because it really does new grads an injustice. OP: Check with the guidelines on transfer within the hospital, some are 6 months, some are more. Also, maybe...

    I keep getting cancelled.. help :(

    RNNPICU replied to Heather Danielle's topic in General Nursing

    Per diem is an as needed position. Unfortunately staff have priority over per diem workers. Sadly, this is how these positions work. I am not sure why new grads would be hired into this position as...

    Nurse performs a nursing action off the clock. What are the repercussions?

    RNNPICU replied to guest1110906's topic in General Nursing

    OP: I am not justifying the behavior, I am just asking if you are the nurse on duty, how is she getting close to the patient. You stated she was there helping the mother garden. If you are caring for...

    Nurse performs a nursing action off the clock. What are the repercussions?

    RNNPICU replied to guest1110906's topic in General Nursing

    I am suggesting you are far away from your patient because there is no way someone could get close to a patient I was caring for. Why didn't you say anything to her first? I am just confused as to how...

    Question about prescriptions

    RNNPICU replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    I think the concern is that the patient wants a specific medication that does have side-effects. Just because the patient does not feel that they are groggy, altered, etc, does not mean that they are...

    Nurse performs a nursing action off the clock. What are the repercussions?

    RNNPICU replied to guest1110906's topic in General Nursing

    OP: As Jedrnurse stated, why not first just talk to the nurse. I don't see why you needed to email the office. Also, why didn't you stop her, why were you far enough away from the patient that someone...

    Issue at Union Hospital

    RNNPICU replied to perfectzero01's topic in General Nursing

    OP: I still don't get why you want to get a lawyer involved over something that you could take up with your supervisor and others within the work place. I would be also upset if someone was...

    Discouraged

    RNNPICU replied to Lookaliveforonce's topic in General Nursing

    OP: The hospital is not the "great" experience you think you may be missing out on. Nurses work in so many different settings. Why do you want specifically to work in a hospital? What do you think is...

    Incorrigible

    RNNPICU replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Or maybe during the skills lecture the information was incorrect therefore unable to perform the skills check-off. I suspect Midnight Nurse NInja's likely have an unspoken code that is handed off...

    Blood administration

    RNNPICU replied to Serotonin2's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of priming the line with saline, I thought that practice was changed years ago. In Peds, I have definitely heard of blod given in terms of mls, sometimes it is factored by mls/kgs....

    Discouraged

    RNNPICU replied to Lookaliveforonce's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you want to have both positions? I would just stick with the nursing home job. It sounds like you are getting a lot of support with the nursing home. What exactly is happening in the surgical...

    Certifications for new grads going into the ICU?

    RNNPICU replied to soontobenewgrad2020's topic in General Nursing

    Those are great. Once you work for two years in the ICU you will be eligible for others. Not much else you can do now except apply to jobs. Since you are a new grad, the certifications may not make...
