concerns about wearing N95 mask..
I choke behind my n95 too, but yea I did get used to it. One clinical site had Powered air respirators (PAPR). full face masks with a little fan in the back that blows filtered air in your face. Alot of nurses loved them over the N95 although you look like an scuba diver! Google it and you'll see alot of examples of these mask hood things. some are super high tec $1000's and some are relatively cheap. This is simmilar to one I saw on the floor. 3M BE12 Hood-PAPR Hoods

EPIC documentation check list
You need additional training, now! You can't be expected to learn the short cuts on your own, epic is clear as mud for a new user. Kinda harsh you got an ultimatum like that.

Do you enjoy med surg clinicals? Vent...
YES drug card database is a must!! I also broke up my careplans into individual nsg dxs and saved them individually. My last clinical I was able to cut/paste a lot, saved myself hours. What worked well for me was powerpower point believe it or not. Each drug card was a slide, then set it to print 4 or 6 per page and it would literally print drug cards.

SF Bay Area Nurses- Any nurse recruiters accepting New Grad RN?
May'12 Grad. My last interview in Norcal had 600 applicants, I've heard through word of mouth the popular public hospital gets 1000 apps per newgrad position, also on here I've read the uc system in socal gets 2000 per job. so yea, i can understand your issue. My classmates are starting to get picked up by SNFs, a few in acute care that already worked as er techs. 3 of us myself included are found jobs out of state. The ones in SNFs are helping each other, small places relying on word of mouth. Maybe start hitting up your old classmates for referrals. I leave monday, byebye CA you can kiss my butt.

So much for address taken into consideration
Happens all the time, split a cheap hotel with a friend near the hospital.

Could you call their HR and pretend to be hospital x checking your own reference? Not that it helps anything, but you could at least know what is being said rather than speculate? Agreed, church influence is disturbing. Could you travel for a bit and let things settle down? Wish we had more for you bud. Kudos

There is always one..
Woo sounds HOT! Seriously, yea curious George will P/O his entire class fast. If i were in your situation where the teacher wasn't handling it, I would confront the student, first alone.. with a group if necessary. We all deserve to learn. Honestly my experience with said student was they didn't know the basic material and had to go home and READ.

How much does a bag of fluids cost?
Call your local community college nursing program, I'm sure they'd be happy to have them. Our lab was mostly expired/donated supplies.
