1. Very mad but most of all humiliation

   Orenda replied to Orenda's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks everyone. I refused to write the letter and told her that the day shift is responsible for it not me. I don't know what she thinks about it. She said she will check with the day shift nurse and get back with me.

2. Very mad but most of all humiliation

   Orenda posted a topic in New Nurse

   Just need a place to vent out all of this. The day shift nurse forgot to do an order and as a night shift nurse I picked up the mess. I called the doctor to verified the order and was written up for it. The next day my nurse manager wants me to ei...

3. ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor

   Orenda replied to pipersjo's topic in New Nurse

   Don't be too nervous about the test. I found ATI predictor test very easy and not trustable. I know many friends in nursing school who didn't pass the ATI predictor but passed NCLEX. My advice to you is to do the unproctored test that the school p...

4. How long did it take you to get NCLEX results?

   Orenda replied to I RN A's topic in General Nursing

   I got my result within a day by checking the website of my state board of nursing. I paid about $3 to get the result. I took my test through Pearson Vue so I can also check on their website by paying approximately $12.

6. NCLEX ? in different states

   Orenda replied to ORhopeful's topic in General Nursing

   NCLEX is a national test. I have a friend registered in Colorado and she moved to California, all she did was just registered with the California board of nursing and pay the money to be licensed in California. Good luck with school.

7. Can an RN school hold your transcripts....

   Orenda replied to acceleratedstudent's topic in General Nursing

   I heard of school holding transcript because you owed them money but never heard of holding transcript if you are not getting a passing score on ATI comprehensive. Unless the ATI comprehensive is part of the teaching plan required by the state board...

   Last semester, my instructor shared with the students about her story of getting stuck by a HIV needle more than ten years ago. She followed all the procedure and report to the hospital health nurse. She had to take the HIV medications and went thr...

9. so it's not okay to show emotion in clinical?

   Orenda replied to Orenda's topic in General Students

   Thank you everyone for your comments. If I'm a nurse I would reacted differently because I believe I am more experienced in term of where I stand on certain sensitive issues. As for now, I'm still sorting out where my stand is on this issue.

10. so it's not okay to show emotion in clinical?

    Orenda replied to Orenda's topic in General Students

    I think the nurse was upset because I refused to help with the extubation and my clinical was upset about how I reacted to the situation.

13. NO LUNCH??? NO BREAKS??? Is that common in nursing?????

    Orenda replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    I have the same question as you too. I worked at Wal-mart and Home Depot while going to nursing school and my supervisors said you have to take a 15 minutes break for every four hours you are working. If the employee is not taking the break, the co...

    I was doing clinical on this floor with my fellow students. The nurse managers came by and talked to us about wanting to hired us. We really want to work on this floor because it's a great floor to work. We learned a lot and enjoyed the experience...

15. ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor

    Orenda replied to pipersjo's topic in New Nurse

    I did my ATI predictor and got 93% but I am not sure how accurate it is. I know in my nursing class that we disliked ATI. We think it's a waste of time and money.
