Yeah trying getting pulled to an unfamiliar unit and having to pass meds and do treatments on 43 residents. CNA's giving you attitude. unit is messy...residents are a pain in the ass. You have to ask the regular nurse upfront..who needs a BS and who...

When I first graduated I just got all the places rounded up on a sheet of paper with both main #'s and fax#'s for HR. Faxed my resume to all of them and about 2 days later the calls were rolling in.

Your instructor is correct in doing it this way. Some teachers like to do it together to save time. When you hit the real world there will be nurses crushing them altogether but only do it the correct way when the state is there. Some meds you have t...

I know someone who has been trying to get in well over 5yrs...TOUGH AS NAILS!!!

the requirements on the Net test to be considered for the program are as follows. Math 60% Reading comprehension 70% and overall composite has to be 65%. I was told the composite is an average percentage of the Reading and Math combined. Good Luck to...

creepy!!!! why the heck they didnt just suction or go in with a manually. My ear nose and throat Dr went deep down almost to my ear drum for cleaning. amazing how much wax can build up

I see how you feel but its perfectly okay to check a BG without a Dr's order. I just did this with a patient a few weeks back. She had surgery on her shoulder and she was a diabetic but there was no order to check her BG but we still took it. I am a ...

I am sorry to hear that. Maybe some day you will decide to go back.

Yikes! I hate doing assessments anyway

Damn gul

lol i cant make a bed to save my life lmao. i just change the fitted and give them a pad....give new blankets and a flat sheet Lol.

I think its HIPPA as well.

computers is easier and faster. it took me quite some time to adapt to using a flow sheet

Im glad someone posted about that test. It was something new my school was incorporating. I was so glad I got through with the net test LMAO. Didnt know what to expect with this teas test.

Probably depends on how long your program is. During the first level we did patient care but our instructor kept saying she was trying to get us to "think like nurses(getting assessments done and taking vital signs, wound care.)" Her goal didnt quite...
