I work at a medium sized hospital that belongs to a huge corporation.For anonymity sake I wont say much more than that because I believe several of my sisters in scrubs also post here.I think many of you will know what company I am talking about when...

Does anyone have any info,good or bad about this place? I have an opportunity to go their for Weekend Option with outrageous salary and benifits. Just wondering about the place because you know what they say about something that looks to good...... T...

We use the bar code system. At first I hated it, bulky med cart with computer and scanner that I push to each room. But it also gives me instant access to the patients chart and labs prior to giving certain meds that are lab dependant. I can also cha...

Thanks Fran, you don't know how badly I needed that reminder right now.

Ah yes Emar. Actually, I hated it at first but have grown to rely on it. It is very nice to have lab values that present themselves when you scan say Coumadin or other drugs that are pertinent to lab values.Also nice to be able to enter your shift as...

I took mine Tuesday. No calc questions either but a lot of prioritzing. It cut off at 75 and today I got results on State Licensing board. I passed. Im sure you did fine, but I was on pins and needles for 2 days. Let us know

Im right there with you.Took it yesterday and it also cut off at 75. I keep second guessing myself and can remember several that I know I missed. This has been the longest day,but results should be on line in the AM. Congratulations on passing yours.

Congradulations! Now,wasn't that fun?

Congratulations.Enjoy the holidays now. You are almost done. Whoopee!!!

Well, I did it. Graduated. Pinning was last night. My speech went well, they actually laughed when I hoped they would. AND, I got the award for Academic Excellence.Not bad for someone who quit high school and took a GED all those years ago. Yahoo!!!!...

I know I made an error here,but I was excited and it was around 5 a.m. I havnt signed RN on any document yet, but thanks to you all!!

Hi ya'll. I have to make a brief,hopefully comical speech tomorrow at my pinning ceremony. This is very last minute and I am scrambling. I have come up with the following and need some feedback. Top Ten signs You Have Been in Nursi...

Go with the Littman, you will be glad you did. Make sure it is marked very plainly with your name and be hesitant to lend it. Those Littmans have a way of growing feet. And congratulations on starting school.

As if there was any doubt. Congratulations. I have my last final in 2 hours and what am I doing? My graduation is friday also. Good luck on your studys for NCLEX.

We use a system very similar to that at my hospital.All charting ,order entry and medication administration is done with the computer. Each nurse has there own mobile computer for there quad.The med part is relatively new but is pretty handy after yo...

Our pinning is Friday(3 days away)! I already have a job,I am an LPN and can stay where I am,but I am definately exploring my options, dont know how it will be working as an RN on a unit where I have been an LPN for many years. Have 2 interviews for ...

Again,whoopee for us all. A few of the people in my class have been using the MEDS NCLEX review videos as a supplement to our class lecture this semester.They have really helped. I am going to take the Kaplan review the week after pinning.

Cell phones are forbidden i my classes. If your phone goes off during class,you will lose 10 points on your next test grade! My graduating class has all kinds of students. The youngest is 21 the oldest is 54.Some live at home with their parents,some ...

reguarding the quote of sam walton who stated "you will never be laid off"...there are 4 walmarts within 40 miles of my house,the closest being 2 miles away. three of these stores laid off large amounts of employees just 2 months ago.the store closes...

Me too,Me too Pinning is also the 12th at 6 p.m. And the good thing about graduating in the winter is that there will not be as big a rush to take boards because there are way fewer people to take them. I can't wait. Good going guys, we have made i...

I went to school in Ga. Since nursing is a critical shortage field, the state had a work forgiven loan that paid for everything. Call a school and talk to the finacial aide dept for the specifics. What it did for me was pay my tuition and books strai...

I remeber the days of LTC liscensure very vividly if not fondly. It aleays seemed that if you had even just one bad resident they would pick those 3 days to act out. One year we had a woman who decided to run about nude. We had to keep up with her ho...

Woops. Sorry about the typos, I guess I'm just too excited.
