I poured meds for one resident and was paged for an outside call from the lab. I put the meds in the top drawer and locked my cart and took the call. The administrator demanded my keys to the dart, I refused but unlocked it. He took the meds out of m...

Thank you for confirming what I thought! I'm speaking with an attorney already.

I would love to see what you came up with also. [email protected]

Are either of you still with Brookdale?

I would love to find out how to start a business such as yours. If you are sharing info, training, etc... I would love to learn more!

I was 36 & the same way at the interview. I was sure I wouldn't be accepted into the program. I wasn't a CNA, I wasn't CPR certified, all the things they asked, I didn't have them. I left so upset. But I got in! They said that age was on my ...

I finished with a B, also. I had a B for A&P I, also. Wish I could have made an A, but I'm happy with it, too :) Lana, thank-you for starting this thread! It was great to stay in touch with everyone. I'm still at a loss for what I will do for...

My grade isn't posted yet, either. He usually sends out an email once he grades them.

I want to take the next 2 tests soon, too. We're leaving on vacation 8/6 and the stress is killing me! lol.

I'm glad that unit is behind us! I came out with an 80 on the test, but it sure was alot of reading! Onward I go! I'm not sure about the rounding up, I didn't think so, anyone else??

Heather, I am so happy this worked out the way it did. What a positive ending! If you hadn't come forward, and there was a pad left in the pt, just think of the devastating consequences for all of you! You did the right thing & you should be p...

Well, that's good news! In a way, I guess they are getting easier :) Last exam I had 6 questions from the review questions. I'm still trying to read through the chapters, it seems at the midway point, I always slow down!

They used the vacumn on my grandson at a military hospital 6 years ago & the brusing was so severe! I never heard of such a thing! lol Sher

You did the right thing by calling. I am like you, and wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I hadn't made the call. Like others posted, we learn through our mistakes. Always take the time you need, you are a new nurse and should question...

I think this, too, unfortunately is more commonplace than you would think. I followed the night supervisor on 7-3 shift and over the course of 1 year, found 4 sharps either on the bed of a pt or on the bedside table. I was mortified. I never filed...

I think this is common practice, unfortunately. I have worked in 2 facilities and for a nursing pool, and I was lucky to get 1 week of orientation. My 1st job out of school, promised me 30 days of orientation, it was more like 3 days. Then I was o...

When I was a CNA, about 10 years ago, I was allowed to doze in the dining room on the unit, with blanket & pillow provided by the nurses! They would wake us for every callbell. I thought it was wierd, but not being a 3rd shift CNA, and coming in...

Yes, there is an end of course survey. I put it in there last time and I'll do it again this time! lol Sheri ann

I totally agree! I thought this was a better way to take classes, but with no feedback we aren't helping ourselves! I wish I could know what I got wrong to go back and find the right answers! Oh, well, I guess I should make time to read it again &...

My thoughts are that she tackled all the problems life threw at her, by keeping busy and not addressing the issues. I think she buried the feelings and moved on, for the sake of her sanity, for the kids, all the traditional reasons. Something minor...

Two friends of mine just took it (RN) and both passed and both had 75 questions. Waiting for the results would kill me! Sheri Ann

I took the unit test yesterday, on the respiratory system. This was one of the test that I went into having alot of confidence. I had read the chapter twice, did great on the review questions (1 wrong) and thought I would get an A. I got a 64!!!! ...

I WANT to take it with Simmons, but I can't do the lab portion locally & I'm sure not flying to Kansas! That's the dilemma I am in. I don't think we even need a lab portion for Excelsior, that's what makes me mad. But I guess you can't take it...

Sciences are my weak spot - which really stinks for me, wanting to be an RN! How do you work on a group project? In chat?? Is the testing & quizzes online, as Edukan does theirs? I couldn't find alot of info on their site related to the above...

SEEMIK, did I read somewhere on this thread that you took Micro thru ccconline? If so, could you tell me a bit about it. Thanks. Sheri Ann
