    I am a new grad and can't wait to get out of orientation!

    Mavrick replied to CRC12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it's great that you like/love your job so well at this stage that you wanna take the lead and be that nurse. You have heard much good advice and seem capable of taking it. I wonder if you...

    NCLEX with multiple DUIs

    Mavrick replied to In limbo's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    A person with 3 DUI's has a problem with drugs/alcohol and poor judgement. The behavior is what's scary. Continuing to get caught is the documented evidence that this person should not be...

    I got fired while being on orientation at a hospital for just 1 week. Why did this happen?

    Mavrick replied to Strugaaa4eva's topic in General Nursing

    This was my first thought. Seriously, though, a tele nurse that can't read rhythm strips is useless. Why would they want to hang on to someone who is unqualified for the position when a qualified...

    I am missing something obvious?

    Mavrick replied to missmollie's topic in Patient Medications

    We use Phenergan as a third line anti-emetic (Zofran and Reglan are the first two choices). Never had complications. Dilute 25mg in 9ml NS then give 6.25mg (2.5ml) in a swiftly running peripheral...

    First time traveler

    Mavrick replied to epecqu64479's topic in Travel

    OK, I only slightly mis-read your title. I wanna be the Second Timetraveller. I'd go back and not trade my Jeep in for a VW

    I want to quit first RN job after a few weeks.

    Mavrick replied to newgradrn2016's topic in General Nursing

    I'll assume you are taking this opportunity to vent and aren't really ready to hear any solutions. Newbies have that right in my book. However, while you are assessing the situation take your time...

    New nurse resume and transcripts

    Mavrick replied to daniellerenee769's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    An employer would not be interested in anything other than real work (paid) experience. Your clinical "experience" is not as a functioning RN and reflects minimal exposure to clinical situations that...

    Should I keep Hooters on Resume?

    Mavrick replied to Newbie-RN's topic in Nursing Career

    Since that lines up so well with the public's expectation of nurses. What nurse manager wouldn't be thrilled to have such a well rounded addition to her

    Taking my nclex in two days please help! Need advice!!!!

    Mavrick replied to msbananaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    According to your screen name you are already an RN, so what test are you talking

    I can't get "poop" taste out of my mouth?

    Mavrick replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    Actually it wasn't your original post I found offensive. It was your follow up attack on the AllNurses community that marks you as the hater. Just keep doublin' down and see how fresh you smell to...

    I can't get "poop" taste out of my mouth?

    Mavrick replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    In 9 responses to your "flakey" question 1 may have suggested you are a troll. You seem proud of the fact you wanted to impose physical violence (slap) a nurse you felt was not performing nursing...

    New Grad as Charge Nurse??

    I can see why they have a real problem with retention. Poor

    Easiest/quickest online MSN-DNP program

    Mavrick replied to ClayH's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sure does cheapen the concept of that Dr. Nurse. I'll just keep on laughing at

    Got a job as a er rn as a new grad

    Mavrick replied to happyfuturenurse's topic in Emergency

    I guess it's a matter of how much stress you can endure. Most new grads don't have a lot of practical experience as their clinical hours leave much to be desired. You will be expected to pick up...

    The Lamentations of a Distressed RN (New Grad)

    Mavrick replied to deebee20's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse doesn't actually "transfer" a license. They get another one in the new state and get to retain the current one in the old state. Nurses may have licenses in multiple

    The Lamentations of a Distressed RN (New Grad)

    Mavrick replied to deebee20's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious as to what OP has been doing to support herself for the last 1-2 years. As far as getting a job, now that she is a stale grad it has gotten much harder and will require a lot more...

    Quiting clinicals because of bad work envirnoment

    Mavrick replied to Matucm's topic in General Students

    Seems to me the problem is with the school. That's who you are paying to educate you. If they dump you onto unwilling-to-teach staff nurses, complain to the school. Just keep searching for that...

    Anyone unsuccessful in nursing school but excel as a nurse??

    Mavrick replied to Jess__'s topic in General Students

    Without knowing the unedited parts of the original post, I think most of us assumed the title of "unsuccessful in nursing school" meant failing. Thus, if you are unsuccessful in nursing school and do...

    IV dosing question

    Mavrick replied to sl004a's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    .1mg x 1000mcg/ml = 100 mcg (desired) 100 mcg x 1 ml = .5 ml 200 mcg Using dimensional analysis it works out to yet another "incorrect"

    IV dosing question

    Mavrick replied to sl004a's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If this is the wording of your question, then it doesn't matter how many ml are in the vial. This must be a multi-dose vial, not a single dose container. I guess I too am wrong because I get the same...

    Should I quit nursing school?

    Mavrick replied to Guest1005095's topic in General Students

    Maybe you missed the part that OP was in NURSING SCHOOL and trying to make a decision about NURSING. I was responding to that subject matter. If they have an aptitude for science and like making...

    PCT - was told I'm fired

    Mavrick replied to Loveeea's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I did not read the entire original post because it is difficult to read posts without punctuation. Perhaps that is part of the communication

    Preceptor From Hell-Need Advice

    Mavrick replied to Breycn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If I am reading the OP correctly she has been in orientation for 7 weeks. Assuming 12 hour shifts that's 21 shifts of preceptorship and she has had 1 shift with this "bad" preceptor. Unless you are...

    If you can't maintain an acceptable GPA at a regular school how would you do in an "advanced" school? You obviously need to do a lot more research (with google not

    RN School Clinicals on Resume??

    Mavrick replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Your clinical "experience" in nursing school is irrelevant. You may as well highlight that you can use a pen as well as type. It is expected you have some limited exposure not "experience" in a...
