I passed the Nclex with 75 questions and Im posting some helpful tips on 'rules of management' when tackling questions on delegation along with prioritizing. Hope this helps for those who find these question types challenging. The Rules of Manageme...

Hi Everyone! New to No. VA. and the Springfield Area. Looking for hospitals close by (inc. D.C area) that is easy to get to using the metro/bus. Any helpful suggestions from anyone??? Many thanks..

This is mainly for US OR nurses, as you scrub; dry then paint here....What is the correct way of prepping a leg say for example for a knee arthroscopy/TKA??? scrub knee, then up the leg (circumferential); change sponge; then do the rest of the leg be...

I am a travel nurse, and currently my travel assignment is in alaska. My contract is finishing soon and i am looking at going somewhere else. As for the different BONs here, how difficult it is depends on the BON's rules and regulations, normally yo...

Hey Tyler! I am actually in Alaska :-) At the time i created my nickname I was in Hawaii. Saying that, I have never worked in hawaii as a nurse. I have had a job offer in honolulu, ages ago, but was not licensed then. It was a pity, because the pay ...

Hi Straight4.. The only stumbling block i had was when I had applied to the BON and they came back saying i did not have enough hours in 2 subjects, so until i did them and passed them i was not able to sit the NCLEX exam. I already had my greencard...

by the way, i found this, this may give you an idea. This is for the state of Queensland... http://www.health.qld.gov.au/nursing/salary.asp

Depends on what level you are regarded as when you are eligible to work there as a nurse. It goes by years of experience. Im from Queensland so i can only go on with what is nursing is like over there. Agency generally pays you more, as you are not...

i doubt Australia gives bonuses to nurses. i never got one with my 11 years of nursing there. Both public and private sectors of hospital differ in pay rates, with the public sector paying more per/hour, not by much though, it used to be around 1 dol...

Hold one, before you do anything lol! i had to go through the same thing as you!! Deakin University in Melbourne deals with this sort of thing. I did psych and maternity as i did not have enough clinical hours. It took me 1 semester to do both subj...

woah woah woah!!! You will find the standard of nursing practice in Australia is very high! I believe nursing is team work and RN's do get a patient load/s. Nursing assistants, equivalent to CNA's here work mostly in nursing homes. There are mainly R...

Hi, I dont know what you mean by OE or CDS.. but here is what we do, we go to the "order entry" screen, where we type in "L" for order status, then we punch in the name of pt, then it should automatically put under it the ordering/attending doctor TH...

THanks so much for the heads up!! i have just sent my application for endorsement for the state of VA, saturday gone, so hopefully it wont take long!!

Oh and I forgot, in Australia, we use to do Anaesthetic clinic, so us nurses get to meet the patients, and we do all the preop stuff.. vital signs, ECG/EKG, explain what time they have to come in, when to fast etc etc, when we get kids, we normally e...

Im just inputting from my own experience, I have been an OR nurse for a while and, have worked in the UK, Australia and now the USA. I have seen a number of ways how a child is put to sleep. In one particular hospital I worked at, in the UK the pts ...
