  1. do you let unlicensed staff do "RN" things ?

    emnicams replied to labrador4122's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was a nurse intern for a year before I graduated, and I worked a LOT, 30-40 hrs per week. So yes, I was hit up all the time by nurses wanting me to give medicines, do accuchecks (only licensed...

  2. Nurse patient ratio

    emnicams replied to beckyvon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I work days on a cardiac stepdown unit. We take either 4 or 5 patients. Usually 4, but it just depends on staffing. Sometimes we go through a slump and have to take 5 for awhile, othertimes we go...

  3. Do your nursing supervisors do anything?

    emnicams replied to tirednursedude's topic in General Nursing

    My director and clinical manager are AWESOME. They are 95% of why I chose the floor I did. My director does stay in her office and meetings a lot, but, well, that's her job. :) She comes out...

  4. I just wanna be a DNR

    emnicams replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

  5. Making the beds

    emnicams replied to Doctor Guazzo's topic in General Nursing

    On our floor we have aides that do vitals, pass ice, give baths/linen changes and feed patients, and help answer call lights when able. They are a HUGE help, I LOVE our aides. But I do try to help...

  6. What would RN's do?

    emnicams replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I was a research freak when I was pregnant with my son, who is now 4. In the end, I chose some things that are "wacky" by today's standards: I breastfed (he never had formula at all), cloth diapered...

  7. Ahh-HA! They're on to us!

    emnicams replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    We have "VERY GOOD CARE" at our hospital too! We also have a sign in every room that says "WE STRIVE FOR 5's." We are supposed to tell pt's on discharge that "we strive for 5's" when we tell them...

  8. What is in your lunch box?

    emnicams replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really eat that many snacks at work. I LOVE those South Beach Diet wraps and usually bring one of those for lunch, or a Lean Cuisine, and baked chips or pretzels. And either yogurt or...

  9. Lunch????

    emnicams replied to *ac*'s topic in General Nursing

    So far I have not had a problem going to lunch (I've been an RN since January). I am sure those days will come, though. I have gotten pretty good at recognizing when I better go NOW or I won't get the...

  10. HIPAA violations

    emnicams replied to Boolah's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    #1 is in violation. In our HIPAA section of orientation when I was first hired, they gave us a similar scenario in example of what NOT to

  11. Nurses as sole breadwinners

    emnicams replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    I am a divorced mom to a 4 y/o. My salary makes things very doable. (Child support is a joke, btw, it doesn't even fully pay for childcare, I still owe $110/month after what he pays). Anyway, I am by...

  12. NEW RNs!!!!

    emnicams replied to jeromemdayao's topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. THE DAY BEFORE THE TEST...so many questions...

    emnicams replied to pweety20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here is my advice. Don't freak out if you can't sleep the night before! I slept maybe 3 hours (fitfully) and I don't know any of my classmate (who have also all passed) that slept well, either. It's...

  14. I know I failed!

    emnicams posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX-RN yesterday. I just know I failed. I had a feeling of doom from the beginning that I was not doing well. I had only 5 or 6 of those "higher level" prioritizing type questions. The...

  17. 75 ?'s going through my mind, nonstop

    emnicams replied to Dakota28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am so sorry! I know exactly what you are going through. Did you mention if your state participates in the Pearson quick results? So maybe you can find out tomorrow morning. Our tests sound very...

    emnicams replied to MJJFan1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck to you!! I also used Pearson Vue to get my quick results and also tried to get them early. I took my test Thursday at 0800. I checked AGAIN this AM at 0755 and NO RESULTS. Checked again at...

    emnicams replied to emnicams's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  20. I know I failed!

    emnicams replied to emnicams's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you so much, I don't know how I would have made it through those agonizing 48 hours without everyone on this forum. I think I sifted through 100 pages of threads reading everyone's experiences!...

  23. I know I failed!

    emnicams replied to emnicams's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you. I know it is normal, but it seems like everyone who passed talks about all the prioritizing questions they had.. meaning they were doing well and getting higher level questions. I only had...
