Pink Scrubs, RN

this used to happen to me all the time. you need to clamp the piggy back line before spiking the new bag. haven't had a problem since, unless of course the previous bag went completely empty.

this thread is wonderful! i am feeling the exact same way. i work on a med-surg floor. i am 3 months in and just survived my first week alone. the nurses on my unit are very nice but sometimes i think they make fun of me behind my back because i'm s...

hmmm need i say it?

congrats! :monkeydance:

hey i feel the same way! please someone say it does get better? i just started and on my 3rd day i had a patient all to myself. no orientation. i learn quickly but i am so overwhelmed. i get 8-12 weeks with a preceptor and it helps that my preceptor...

hello. my friend took her test on a thursday and got her results from the CA BRN website on the following tuesday. good luck to both of you!

good luck tomorrow!

you might want to check the policies with your nursing school before you invest in this. my school wouldn't allow any recording devices because of patient confidentiality reasons (when they use examples in class). looks pretty cool though!

sounds like an awesome plan!!! good luck on your NCLEX!

great job and congratulations!

congratulations!!!!!

mousy4life, what area in so cal do you live? i had kind of the same problem but took a job where they are just going to throw me on the floor for 8-12 weeks of training since i missed out on the new grad orientation. i weighed the pros and cons and t...

i agree with Hypoxic, they should still put you in a new grad program.

Kim, how did it go? i start my new job next week! i kind of know how it is because for school i had to preceptor for 3 weeks nightshift. just wondering what your experience was like.

Wow, after 3 nights of waiting I found out this morning that I passed!!! I totally was doubting myself... things going through my head like wait, what if I didn't get the higher level questions, I didn't get any delegations, how in the world could I...

I expect my first day to be sometime next week. I missed out on the new grad orientation (which I heard doesn't help much anyway) so I'm pretty much getting thrown into the wolves. I will get 8-12 weeks with a preceptor. I'll find out my schedule on...

Hypoxic, girls only! I'm home now by the way, friend has work in the morning.

Yes, all I did was check the board of nursing website. Going out for a celebratory drink now!

Thank you everyone!

about a month and a half after graduation... well the first 2 weeks of graduation didn't really count, i was in vegas.

i did kaplan's online course and used saunder's Q&A book. i wrote down things i was really weak at and studied my written notes 2 days before taking my test. good luck to everyone who have yet to take it!

congratulations!!! i just found out I passed too!!! WHOOPEEE!!!

i got 1 peds question, it was a priority type question.
