I am currently a supplemental RN on a surgical floor and would like advice regarding a possible change of position based on a few reasons. I enjoy the floor I work on, and up until January I have worked 4-5 days per week, one weekend per month. I ...

Let me state that I have desperately been looking for a new job. I am a single mother and have been staying at my current job out of necessity. I work at an oral surgery office, doing conscious sedation. We had some dilaudid expire November of 2013...

I totally agree with gcupid

I'm out & it's been reported..so we'll see!

Well the asst that was just fired must have said something because the doc wanted to waste the remaining bottle of dilaudid and 8 vials versed today with me. So now any action would be my word against his. All I've got now is the missing hydrocodone...

Will do, Hopeful. I appreciate the prayer!

This is such a huge mess. An asst that was just told to go on medical leave is trying to get a settlement & we were told not to talk to her bc someone here at the office gave her info on what the docs were doing . That was me, telling her they're...

I am in Washington. Applying for jobs and I've contacted a temp agency. The tough part is that I just have 2 years of experience doing conscious sedation. As soon as I'm out, I am making calls. Oh, and I found out that my last day might be sooner...

I'm getting all ducks in a row to report. I took pictures of the expired dilaudid & after the DEA goes in, they will request the accurate logs that I kept which show total quantity, so if they try to destroy the vials, the count will not add up. ...

I'm the only RN. I count the narcs daily with one of the two docs. So when I came up short, we looked everywhere. I suspect a certain staff member I think the doc is protecting. It's a huge mess and I'm disgusted with myself that I let this happen (u...

I'm a second quarter Nursing student and my instructor is not going into any detail at all! I am reading the book, taking notes...Does anyone know of a site that simply lists drug classifications and their actions? I'd like to tye it in a doc & m...

I have enjoyed reading other people's stories on techniques they used to study for the NCLEX-RN, so I will share mine and help (maybe) someone else! What kind of student am I? Well, I am an older student (36), and a single mother with 18 years of De...

Hahaha..very funny smarty pants

I feel like I couldn't have studied any more for it. Some questions I really had no clue. I felt like I got 40% of them right. Thank you though! I bet you will pass as well!

I'm an RN!!!!:w00t:

I'm not sure where to put this post...I'll try this spot. Anyhow, I will be graduating from a 2 year RN program next month & will be taking the NCLEX as soon as I am able to sign up for it. I am planning to get my BSN online. I was offered a job...

Thank you!! :)

I really biffed it today. I'm in my last quarter of nursing school & have tried to be zoo careful about checking stuff before I do things. I was working with a nurse on the renal floor & I flushed 5ml NS into what I thought was a Central lin...

YAY! You guys ROCK! Exactly what I was looking for!!!!

Hey I need to know the differences between Hydrogen Ions & Hydroxide Ions...I know a lot (I think) about Hydroxide Ions, but ahve yet to find much on Hydrogen Ions?? Hydroxide ions: produced when water molecules H2O ionize to become hydronium &a...
