  1. Results for CA

    kbstudent replied to only1darcy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    California does not participate in the Pearson early results. That is why you did not see your name. You can log on to the BRN http://www.rn.ca.gov and look under license verification. Put in your...

  4. Filter needle when drawing from vials or not?

    kbstudent replied to sharann's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  5. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    kbstudent replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

  9. No Benefits not an option for new grads???

    kbstudent replied to orchid's topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. Have you ever taken care of a celebrity?

    kbstudent replied to BarbPick's topic in General Nursing

    It is all about HIPAA. You as professionals are obligated not to discuss anything that may identify the patients you have taken care of. Stating their names is a violation. People lose their jobs...

  14. Dr. Dean (democratic primary contender) on Nursing

    kbstudent replied to geekgolightly's topic in General Nursing

    kbstudent replied to twintoo's topic in General Students

    You need to learn early on when to question the instructor and when not to. Don't pit one group against the other or one instructor against the other. If your instructor wants all the patients to...

  18. Acls?

    kbstudent replied to Trixie01's topic in General Nursing

    Check with your nursing education department as they should be able to guide you in the right direction. If it is required by your hospital, than they need to know where to send you. Also check with...

  19. Subjective or Objective?

    kbstudent replied to bedpan's topic in General Students
