  1. H1N1 vaccine... why it should be MY choice!

    Cosper123 replied to miss81's topic in Disaster Preparation

  2. Can I apply for a job before I graduate?

    Cosper123 replied to dine saw's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah you can and I would. I chose to wait until after my boards as I didn't want to get a job and then not be eligble for it. That was a huge mistake as many got a jump on me and by time I was ready...

  3. documentation & pain

    Cosper123 replied to Sunrise2009's topic in General Nursing

    Was there a way to validate that the pain medication was given? Who ultimately was responsible for this patient? I'd chart it as you did with just sticking to the facts and not adding anything...

    Cosper123 replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

    Actually no way in any form was I ever an accomplice. I reported it verbally to a supervisor and that is the extent of my responsibility per the BRN. More is expected of the Charge Nurse as I...

  8. Nurse Manager threatening to report me to BRN...

    Cosper123 replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

  9. Why won't anyone hire new grads?

    Cosper123 replied to LvHaloRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yeah it's tough, took me an entire year to nab a job. Granted I messed around for awhile, we moved...and for a good amount of time my job searching was half-hearted. Once I got serious it still took...

  15. Men can't give complete baths?

    Cosper123 replied to stelon's topic in General Nursing

    I too disagree with the "sad but understandable" view. When I walk into that room, I am a professional and expect to be treated as such. The only thing I found "sad but understandable" during my...

  17. Need info about state boards

    Cosper123 replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

    Hopefully there's more current information than that, as the test was changed again in 2007. I'd be curious as to what the pass rate is now for first time takers, I'd imagine that it has dropped. I...

    Cosper123 replied to trjohnson0213's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes I agree a NCLEX book like Saumders that has summaries and such would do ya a world of good. I used the chapter reviews as a foundation as they do a great job of summarizing what you need to know,...

    Cosper123 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Cosper123 replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
