    termination from nursing school

    You need to write a detailed accounting. List day/time/who present/setting/what happened/what was said/what you did in attempt to circumvent/remedy. This will take time. Type it in a very organized...
  12. OP, these are things that should be discussed to great length in school, but, they are not. At least, IMHO not enough to hit home. Unlike other jobs, your employer is not as responsible for what you...

    advice patient over the phone

    OP, are you working in a clinic as a student, tech or CNA? If you are you cannot go very far in your conversation with any patient. Yours is to record the patient's comments and then take contact...

    how to give heparin 5000units with a 1mL syringe?

    OP, never sit around and ponder what is right/wrong with drug admin. Always go directly to your references. You need to constantly refer to your drug reference which = medication instructions that...
