Hello, My office is looking to hire a NP with DEA registration for a pain clinic we are starting up. I live in Virginia and can not find anything stating whether the supervising physician of the NP must have a DEA registration also. If anyone knows o...

I graduated in May 2008 so i'm out of my "first year" but I still feel like this was the best place to post this. It's long so if you are able to read it all I'll be really impressed but I just need to vent! I haven't had a lot of time to be on the s...

IVIG infusions are required to be monitored by an RN at all times.

I am going to be starting Home Health full time and was wondering how those of you with children make your schedule?

I am starting a new position as an RN in home health and i have to pass both a verbal competency and written competency. My agency will deal mostly with Antibiotics and wound care, any one have any tips on what to expect?

So I am moving to Northern VA and I am looking at jobs and a lot of the ones listed on line say they are day/night shifts. Does this mean that it is either shift or you have to do a day/night rotation. I have 2 small children and I have to have night...

I have not gotten through my 90 day probation period. I feel really bad because during this time my sister in law passed away, my son got pneumonia and was hospitalized, and now I have pneumonia. I am only supposed to miss 2 days before getting termi...

I am orienting on a busy Urology/transplant unit right now and I hear a lot of nurses talking about how they work 4 or 5 nights (12s!) a week with only a day or MAX 2 off in a row. And as far as I know they sign up for this.... I can not do this! I a...

From what i've seen I don't think its MANDATORY, but a lot of people do it...so I'm wondering

I passed also! Woohoo!

I took it yesterday and it also shut off at 75 and like you, a lot of people in my class passed with 75 so I am confident!

I am anxiously awaiting to see how you all did! I took it yesterday and it cut off at 75 questions. I had a FEELING that number 75 was my last question so it didn't freak me out...I'm afraid I am feeling a little too confident that I passed....does t...

So I am starting my new job as an RN, pending I pass my NCLEX on tuesday, on July 21st. Since I have not signed any paperwork saying I'm an "official" employee I decided not to reveal my pregnancy. I also was not pregnant when I interviewed. I know t...

I take mine on tuesday as well. My kaplan scores are 58 and higher...I wasn't too worried but now I don't know!

The dude isn't very nice about it either

Yesterday I checked the status of my application on NCBON and everything is verified as received...I thought I would get my ATT from pearson today as thats what happened with others from my school but no such luck yet!

This is exactly what I was thinking of doing. Thanks for the advice!

I am about 5 weeks pregnant and I'm about to start my first job nursing. I will be working on the Urology/Transplant/Renal floor and I am wondering what the most appropriate way to tell my manager will be. I have not even taken my NCLEX yet so it wil...

Hello, I am wondering what shoes to buy for my first pair of nursing shoes. I have some nursemates and I like them but it took a while to break them in...let me know what you recommend! Also I'm about 5 weeks pregnant right now so comfort is importan...

Didn't even know there was a shoe forum! Thanks

The thing is I won't actually start working until I am probably 12-14 weeks and I'll probably be showing at that time...so I'm wondering if I should write her an email letting her know before I start, but I'm afraid to do that because I don't want he...

I believe I will be taking my NCLEX in July as well even though I do not have my ATT yet. I am working on Suzanne's plan also. I did not do so well on the first round of the first tip so it took me a while to complete it!

I have been offered an interview in an abortion clinic. I do not personally believe in abortion but do not judge others who do. I do not know all of the details of the job description but depending on what they are I think I could do fine in the job....
