Well...if you clock out late because you've not finished your charting, at where I work..nope, no OT on that. That's why time management is important. However, if that charting is not done due to something like a Fall or other emergencies happened late on your shift and of cause you have to finish that charting, then yes, that is OT.

Hi Misscherie, For all precautions I had done over the years...but still can't prevent back problem. Just had back surgery a few months ago. Don't know if there is any secret out there. While your back is still in a good shape, REALLY take good care of it. When it's gone...it's gone Max

Most people would appreciate to be corrected. Especially, those whose English is not their first language. I think...go for it, tell her.

Thank you Leslie, No, my birthday was a few days ago...feel good being 29 (again!) . Max

Thank you frez,mtacare, and mixy. I really appreciate your suggestions. I came across this book "memory notebook of nursing:pharmacology & diagnoses" online. I just ordered it less than an hour ago. Have any of you guys heard this book? I hope I choose the right book. Thanks again, Max

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone out there can help. I'm an LPN student (2nd semester). I have a big problem learning my drugs (Pharmacology). I feel overwhelming with all the informations that I have to know. I have a long list of drug classifications that I have to know major action, indication, side effect, etc. On top of that, I need to be able to give examples of trade and generic name for each classification to my instructor. Any tip?? Thank you all in advance. Max
