When I did the PBDS at Swedish they told me that 70% of nurses don't pass... I just remember winging it and writing a lot of "notify MD"! Luckily I passed, but don't sweat it if you don't.

I went through the new grad program at Swedish.... although the program was Ok, I really disliked working for Swedish....

I love my merrells... they are great for flat feet.

I have definately learned over the last several years that nursing in all about the customer service... at least in the USA.

How very sad.... sorry for your loss.

not a pronouciation thing... but hate it when people say, "Is she painful?"

take this suppos and shove it! lol

I agree with other posts... should not be the responsibility of nursing staff to take care of the dog.

How nice... :)

I would guess that you you be put on light duty...

Tweety - Thanks for the info.... sorry, I guess 20 is a lot to ask! :) Fingers crossed that I get settled in quickly and that I work with some nice nurses!

I am starting my first nursing job next week as an RN on ortho. I am really excited, but very nervous about finally starting my career. I am just looking for some advice, insight, etc. I want to be as prepared as possible before I start, although I know I am going to learn SO much when I actually get on the floor! What basic things should I know as an ortho nurse? What are the top 20 meds given on an ortho floor? Any info that you could give me would be great.... Thanks! Kyle

How many years have you been a nurse? 3. What makes you a leader? 4. What do you believe are qualities of a good nursing leader? 5. What is your style of leadership? 6. What makes a person a good follower? 7. What motivates you to be a good leader? 8. What do you like about being a leader? 9. What do you dislike about being a leader? 10. Do you believe that followers can become good leaders? 11. Do you believe that you need to be a good follower before you can be a good leader? 12. How do you handle disputes in the workplace? 13.

Thank you so much! I will be busy tomorrow making my cards! :)

Hi... I was hoping that I could get some more help from you wonderful nurses. I am starting my last clinical rotation in the ER this weekend. I would like to know what you think are the top 10 (or 20) meds that are frequently used in the ER. I want to be as prepared as I can for this rotation, so I would like to make some med cards before the weekend. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you, Kyle
