I would suggest you wait and attend a community college. Those private schools are costly, they don't have a good reputation and if you want to continue your education the credits don't always transfer. Best of luck!

Beverly: keep at it! Princess Papooli: sorry that you are going through that. i too believe like esme12 shared-one door closes but another will open. who knows, maybe this is the next step in your career...psych/addiction specialty nursing. Best of l...

Yes, it is ok to say something like that; it shows the human/sensitive side of you. I usually say "take care of yourself" or "best wishes". "It was my pleasure taking care of you" or ..."being your nurse". I have heard patient's not liking or even f...

I work in tele, we do full assessments every 4hrs (3 per shift-0800, 1200, 1600) skin assessment every 4 hrs, fall assessment once a shift or if condition changes, vital signs every 4 hrs. New admissions or transfers-assessments should be completed w...

Don't give up! I am glad to hear you have a strong supportive hubby, this will make a difference. Get a good treatment plan and keep your head up. The beautiful thing about nursing is there are so any areas and specialties you can work in which will ...

And if the family members are healthcare workers even worse

Be yourself! Do some research about the facility and department you are interviewing for, develop questions to ask during your interview. Show your eagerness to learn, to be open minded, and to be flexible. Think back of situations in your past job ...

How sad that you have to go through that in nursing school! This is where the instructors serve as role models, mentors and a support system to help you reach your goal. I would meet with your instructor in person (no emails) and a mediator (the prog...

So far I am agreeing with other posts....it's your responsibility to keep this patient cared for and safe. It would be nice for the family to stay but they do not have to. Where I work we will assess the patient and if there is a need for a sitter o...

Do not become a nurse if..... ... you have a hard time with working long hours, weekends and holidays ... if you take things personal ... if you have a hard time multi-tasking ... if you can not handle stress

Be yourself. Be ready to answer scenario like questions, show them you are a teamplayer, can use critical thinking, show that you are open minded and flexible. Know the hospital's mission, vision, and values. Ask questions-this shows your interest. B...

I agree, where is the confidentiality? It sounds like the NP violated that.

Remember you are representing yourself the healthcare field and now the facility you got hired at....no jeans, go with business casual attire. Congratulations and Best of Luck!

I drive about 8 miles to get to work; highway or streets it takes me about 15/20 mins, I love it!!

I watch television and go to the gym.

Congratulations!!

In my prayers.

Thanks for sharing. It just confirms that one has to be compassionate to do this type of work.

WOW! What a day, you got to love nursing :nuke:.

I might be totally off... but I do not see where you went wrong, med error???? You mentioned you gave Lantus, right? The way I learned Lantus is NEVER hold it, it is a basal insulin which helps control sugar over the course of the day, being long act...

I do 12 hrs shifts, you have to consider the whole day of when you get up, drive time, hopefully you get out on time, then you need time to unwind once you get home......so needless to say they are looooong days. I do enjoy the three/four days off. ...

Yes, throughput is important...discharging and admitting patients in a timely manner but I agree with you it would have taken you a few minutes to change the bed while the patient was up with physical therapy, then you could have taken the other pati...

I go for the salty.....chips, any flavored chips will do just fine .

I would think it would depend where you work and the population you serve. I have noticed though, that you can't go wrong with Spanish.

Way to go!! Best of luck.
