    Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Mavrick replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    You won't be the only witness. It takes a pattern not just one wasted dose of narcotics to establish that a nurse is diverting. Now if you ARE the only nurse signing as witness to a rash of wastage...

    Diabetic RN applying for WA endorsement... anyone done it?

    Mavrick replied to Dogen's topic in Washington Nursing

    That's the key to answering the question "No". I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and keep it under control so as not to be impaired or limit my ability to practice with reasonable skill and safety. The BoN...

    Failed two sciences and I can't get into a nursing program.....is there still any hope?

    Mavrick replied to mn00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe that's why it's called a Bachelor of SCIENCE in Nursing

    Why can't i get a job???? US RN

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

    Steady as she goes OP. As PP said HR and Nurse Managers work at their own sweet (agonizingly slow) pace. I don't call it the black hole of HR for nothing. Resumes go in and never come back out. I...

    Travel Nursing as a New Grad

    Mavrick replied to 2014Student's topic in Travel

    Travel nurses are called in for instantaneous temporary staffing. The hospital is usually short staffed and will expect you to hit the ground running and fill the position without much investment on...

    whats for lunch

    Mavrick replied to mvm2's topic in General Nursing

    Lean Cuisine usually 10/$10. Or on sale for 88cents. Stick one or two of 'em in the cooler along with a fat free yogurt. Apple, banana, or orange from the fruit bowl and I'm good for 12

    Float Nursing

    Mavrick replied to CJ2blpn2017's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I don't know whether to keep complimenting your individual accomplishments or perhaps you went to a hell of a good nursing school. It sure seems ambitious to expect your average new grad to...

    How To Answer "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

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

    I believe OP was referring to applying to a SNF where she does not want to be climbing the ladder five years hence. I also doubt a SNF will put much emphasis on a new employee's desire to return to...

    Float Nursing

    Mavrick replied to CJ2blpn2017's topic in General Nursing

    You are certainly NOT a typical new grad, good for you. How much orientation do you get at the first hospital before you take full ICU

    I have a case study question, I need some advise

    Mavrick replied to huota's topic in General Students

    As a nursing student: + Remain calm, (you are useless if you wig-out) + elevate HOB, (patient most likely has a ventilation problem) + pull overbed table into position to assist pt with optimal...

    What is the freaking deal with OB?

    Mavrick posted a topic in General Students

    Why do so many pre-nursing/nursing/new grads want to work in OB/L&D? My question isn't "What's it like to work in those units?" But what makes so many not-yet-nurses THINK they want to work those...

    Mavrick replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Before you say it (you must not have much of a life) I find AN highly entertaining, enlightening and addictive. Blocking someone would seem like cheating myself out of a good laugh or eye roll. Some...

    How To Answer "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

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

    It's an unimaginative boilerplate question. They don't really want to know. You don't really have to tell them. Make up something plausible that you think they would like to hear and be done with...

    It is mighty tempting to really tell 'em off but that just makes you look like the azz. You, Sir, are a tribute to the term gentleman and still managed to get in a little social

    I am totally confused about your use of "grandfathered in". What does that mean to

    Mavrick replied to SarahOsorio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's all about what you consider important. Back in high school it wasn't important to get it right or get a passing grade. Like, so what, it's just a grade. In nursing, the math is mostly simple...

    Mavrick replied to lionsfan22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you know that the initials PVT mean Pearson Vue Trick. So it is completely redundant to say PVT Trick. Is that a passing level
