    Are you talking about mission trips? Travel nursing? Working at one place in one
  2. Soooo, not only the patient care coordinator is emotionally unbalanced, but the unit manager is as well? There's way more to this story. And you've already reported racial tension/slurs and...
  3. Finding my place

    Yes it is. Traditionally, medical mission trips are unpaid. They are for volunteers. I'm assuming that you will need to earn a
  4. Finding my place

    Depending upon where you live and the local market for nurses, I suggest applying for anything and everything that comes your way. In most areas of the country, there is no shortage of experienced...

  6. ABSN Programs With High Acceptance Rates

    You do realize that the "% acceptance rate" is pretty much useless info for a new applicant? It only really reflects the size of the applicant pool vs the # of available spots. Any school is going to...

  9. Job with summers off

    Sorry, but if you're ruling out school nursing, then I don't know what you could find. Even per diem positions usually require X hours per pay period or some other length of
  10. NEW RN HELP!!!

    You are at a disadvantage in the current job market. You are technically a new RN, but your education is from out of the country and is several years old. My best advice would be to take a refresher...
  11. Young ADON

    No, I don't really have any tips for you. I don't think you should be in this position, but that is not what you asked. I am very afraid that you are setting yourself up for failure and a rough...
  12. School dosage math help

    Here's the thing, BenDover: OP has homework, thus OP has an instructor. Instructors should be teaching their students, not the Internet. If 3 different responders give the OP a way to solve the...
  13. School dosage math help

    You had help walking through your previous dosage question. Can you apply any of what you learned to this
  14. That's very unfortunate. Your pediatrician should be willing to advise and counsel you. Unfortunately, we cannot give medical advice here. Perhaps your local Public Health
  15. ABSN Programs With High Acceptance Rates

    As a potentially less-than halfway decent person, I will decline to answer. I will, however, point out that (1) "easy" is relative; (2) "easy" isn't necessarily an adjective that a nursing student...
  16. I think you should speak to your pediatrician for
  17. Falsifying documentation

    Seriously disagree. If negligence or falsification is brought to my attention, and my observation correlates the issue, it is totally my business. The idea that the Manager of multiple home health...
  18. Illinois nurse practice act

    We are just another set of "some people" so it doesn't really matter what any of us know or think we know. If you want an accurate answer, go to the source. I am certain that your NPA is available...
  19. Falsifying documentation

    Any facility I've ever worked for had protocol requiring simultaneous reports to facility/risk management and notification to the involved nurse. Particularly in this situation, where the patient is...
  20. Falsifying documentation

    Of course it's falsification of documentation and I wouldn't worry about the consequences. Report it before you somehow become involved due to inaction on your part. If Medicare is involved, then the...

  22. Medication error

    I hope that you have learned from your experience. Just because you feel that a mistake was unimportant doesn't make it so. It really doesn't matter what a hard worker you are if you are not a safe...
  23. Feeling VERY Incompetent

    I've always been a big question-asker. What I learned during orientation was the ART of questioning. The who/what/when/where of asking questions is crucial to know. Here are a few of the biggies....
  24. recently let go of a job

    Obviously, you have not been in the field long enough to have walked in my shoes. I have not experienced anything remotely near the terrible experiences that you have apparently experienced in every...
  25. Feeling VERY Incompetent

    OP, this poster has been dispensing doom & gloom all afternoon. Please disregard. To your feelings of inadequacy: don't you think we ALL felt that way at first?! What helps when you start your...
