    Mavrick replied to ApplePineApple's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any way to learn EPIC before you start a job? I'm going to a new hospital that uses EPIC. My current one was scheduled to go-live earlier this year but the COVID Plague messed that all up....

    Honesty with Recruiter

    Mavrick replied to Xpectsuccess's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, I stand corrected. Based on the increase in "impaired driving" accidents in the state of Washington, I don't think it is a good idea to wait for an incident of "impaired nursing" to take...

    Felony

    Mavrick replied to SexyMaleNurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I suppose OP didn't really ask a question just a very limited-option poll. I would agree, the BON in question will determine what is or is not a sealed record/felony. Unfortunately so many of these...

    Math question help please!

    Mavrick replied to Ashleyherberth's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Is this exactly how the question is written?? The body weight/day part is totally unnecessary and just sounds kinda weird. Anyway, I think your math is right. Can't explain why the book doesn't...

    High School Student Trying to get into a Direct Entry Nursing School

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

    I can't think of why a "direct entry" is so important to you other than you think once you get in you can just coast on through. If you haven't improved your study skills to better than "not the...

    HR for facility. Not for employees.

    Without a Union to go up against HR you got nothing. Stop whining and complaining. Everything you say will be used against you. And they ARE out to get you. Company needs are prioritized way above...

    Mavrick replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    Mavrick replied to brindlenurse's topic in Nursing Career

    OR is a perfectly fine job for a new grad. They have to teach you everything anyway as you don't learn much about OR in nursing school. The concern is your ability to honor a 3 year contract. I...
