    Meliss214 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I'm a new grad who has just completed my 7th week as a psych nurse. My problem is that I'm trying to provide the best care for the patients, but am being accused of "staff splitting." Case in point, I...

    I know what you mean about being disappointed. I'm so use to having a study guide to prepare for a test. Those questions were all over the place. I need to start working on MNL. And no I'm definitely...

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Surprisingly enough, I made an 88. The workbook questions would have helped me with 2 of the questions, but I still would have missed 4. I still think that question about head and neck exam should...
