My guess would be because the bumps look like a de-feathered chicken.

I studied with my ATI books, and did just fine. 75 questions, and I'm an RN! I give most credit to my school for preparing us so well!

Sounds like you are a patient advocate. Keep it up, and do as others posted, document!

Yuk! I'm all for promotion of health and prevention of preventable diseases--so it wouldn't be in my job description.

It depends on the med/method. I agree with previous post. Remember your leading zeros: 0.5 Also, consider the syringe size you are using. Can you really draw up 0.666 of med--realistically? No. Probably 0.7

I'm still looking for a job....I'll gladly take yours.... :)

Thank you for the post...I'm a new nurse and look forward to, as you put it, "I am simply one person who gives of myself mentally, emotionally, and physically. I do the best that I can with the information I'm given and the situation I'm presented ...

As the nurse, the CNA reports to you. Send her home!!! She is NOT SAFE!!! Report to Board of Nursing NOW!!!

How effective is it, if they can opt out? I agree with previous post, evidence-basis???

Wow, thanks for the posts, good to know!

Go for it!

Yep, agree. Observe, get to know the staff, they get to know you, ask about rationale for the way things are done. Make changes immediately if safety issue. Efficiency items can come slower, not all at once. I believe they can be accepted more th...

This is 1/2 of the reason I lasted only 3 days as a CNA in LTC. I didn't know anybody, they were identified by what room they were in (double bed rooms). At meal time in the dining room, they were placed 4 per table, no diagram--It was driving me c...

Cool ! Enjoy it !

Good job! It goes to show that you shouldn't get yourself worked up after the test, just wait for the score. I usually treat myself to a movie after my tests. :) To get my mind off it.

Isn't it d/c'd by doctor's order?

This topic interests me, it's my research paper topic this year. "Quality Preceptorship/Mentorship for new grads related to retention". There is evidence-based research on this topic recently, to give validity to funding for preceptorship programs. ...

Sorry to hear...wish you well and hope for a more supportive environment in your next position :flwrhrts:

Ditto...go for RN :)

I like the words: vigilant and integrity:saint:

Bag Balm, put on thick, and a pair of socks. (at bedtime, of course).

Best Wishes for your Bright Future!

Take one day at a time. Kinda like being at a line in Disneyland--if you were able to see how long the line to the ride really is, you might be inclined to not stay in line. Don't be worrying about tomorrow, enjoy today.

Wow, now I'm curious what the arms of my pts look like after IM injections. I do "dart" technique, and I get compliments about how they "didn't feel a thing" etc. Of course, I don't see them again after that.... I do tell them while I am doing the a...
