Hi everyone! My unit was just told that starting next week our pt assignmt will not be posted until 5 min until shift starts...there are some nurses including myself that arrive to work early..on our time(not clocking in early) to look at our kardexs...

Sounds good...however..if it was only that easy! When we hit the floor there is no time to review charts and add to our sheets..and Im not kidding. We start right away with pulling all labs, tele strips, calling docs with critical lab values, ck on...

it makes the day go alittle easier to have the info I need with me, instead of running back to the chart and cking! I'm not saying I need to prepare for a code situation..I am preparing for my day..saving precious time. I do and have to prioritize......

And thats fine if you dont want to come in any earlier..whatever works for you..but for me and some others the way it works best for us is to come in prior to our report to prepare. I work on a med-surg renal/vasc/urology floor, we all get 6 sometime...

CONGRATS!! How did u study for NCLEX?

Hi Everyone! I graduated in Dec 08 and start on a med-surg floor Feb 2..still waiting for my ATT...and hoping I get it soon!!

I dont like them because they are to wide and I end up tripping over my feet and turning my ankles. For those of you that like them, I bought mine for under 30.00 w free s/h from http://www.shoebuy.com.

Things are not good in Toledo, Ohio..there are so many graduate nurses that have no leads at all here, some have accepted positions that require an hr and half drive and a couple even decided to take weekend only positions at the Cleveland Clinic, wh...

Hi Everyone! I will be graduating in Dec ...when is the appr. time to start sending out resumes? Can u work as a nurse before passing the NCLEX, and if so for how long? Where I'm from there is no shortage of nurses, so I want to get a head start look...
