Psych nurse, usually 8:1 depending on census but 8 is maximum. This is day shift.

I am a recent grad as of December 2012. I also have a job and received the offer a week after I graduated. Almost all of my classmates have been offered and accepted positions some of them hired for Labor and Delivery, NICU, and ER which is almost un...

I just graduated in December and was offered a position and start in February. I was told by one of my clinical instructors, who also had extensive interviewing/hiring experience, that the cover letter should be very short and to the point. Literal...

I know someone that recently moved to HI because her husband is in the services. She was a nurse for many years before moving and she cannot find a job. She is currently working at Target. Unfortunately I do not think there are a lot of options in ...

I not in CA but I am current working as a "mental health tech" and the only requirement was that we had to be a nursing student that had completed fundamentals and skills. I don't think as someone else stated that it would reduce the amount of class...

I also have to take the ATI at the end of each semester. If you read the ATI study guide and do the practice quizzes you will do just fine as the test are really based on the ATI study guides. I did not do well on the practice test but did just fin...

I am a second career nursing student and will graduate in December with my BSN. I was laid off for almost a year from another field and I will start working as a mental health tech on Monday in a psych/substance abuse facility. I am really excited ab...

Thank you so much for sharing. I am going to be taking the Pharm ATI at the end of the spring semester and these will be so helpful in studying. I also shared them with my classmates. Thank you again!!!

I just finished my 4th semester in the weekend and evening program. They do go by GPA but they also require a minimum of Maryville credits. It is very good program but it is tuff. We are considered part-time but it does require time outside of cla...

The pay is really low compared to what is required as far as education and the responsibility of a nurse. I am in my fourth semester of a BSN program, second career student. After I graduate and hopefully get a job, I will start out making less than ...

I have to say that so far I have been fortunate that I have not experienced this but some of my fellow students have. I am a second career "student" so I am older. Maybe it is age but I try not to let things bother me. Everyone is human and has good ...

I will take a stab, I could be wrong hopefully someone will let you now if it is incorrect. 1. 100 ml x 60 gtt / 240 minutes (your four hours from 4:30 pm to 19:30) = 25 gtt 2. I think just take the 1000 ml / 12 hours it is to run = 84 ml/hr

We have 7 semesters of nursing classes only, Spring, Summer and Fall. I am in a BSN program non-traditional student (nights/weekends) and we go year round. I am just finishing up my second semester.

I too am in nursing school and we were told we would have "nurse nails". No nail polish or artifical nails are allowed.

We all do that and just assume our answer must be wrong and it usually isn't. Glad I could help.

convert 240,000 to mL 240,000 (ordered) / 8,000 (on hand ) = 30 / 30 = 1 or convert to ml = 240,000 / 30 = 8000 / 8000 =1 I am only a second semester nursing student but I think this is correct. If not someone please let me know.

I struggled in Micorbiology because I really wasn't interested in most of it, half of our microscopes didn't even work, lol. Some of it has come back in nursing classes but only a small amount so far. The only thing I can say to you is NEVER let anyo...

Another way ordered 2g in 500 ml, to run at 2 mg/min convert minute to hour = 2mg x 60 min - 120 mg/hr convert mg to g by dividing by 1000 = 0.12 g 0.12 g / 2 g x 500 ml - 30 ml/hr Seems like everyone has their own way of doing it.

I cannot answer for an LPN program but I can tell you I have worked full time while attending school for my pre-reqs and through my first semester of a BSN program. I would still be working full time while going to school part time (weekend/evening) ...

I feel the exact same way although I just started my second semester of a BSN program. I am a "non traditional" (weekend/evening) student so I also work full-time. Last semester was much easier to me than this semester. We are doing pharmacology and ...

Yes it does suck. I really didn't need the job, it was a PRN position I really just wanted to get my foot in the door like you. I too thought things went really well. I work full time in an unrelated field so my guess would be lack of experience ...

This is just a vent and I am sure I am not the only one to experience this. It is so frustrating to send in a resume/apply online, get a call back for an interview, they want you to come in within a day or 2. The interview goes well (at least you thi...

I do not think my interview skills have anything to do with not receiving a return phone call and how you would assume that from my post is beyond me. As far as GPA, I am pretty sure I mentioning nothing about my GPA, being at the top of my class at ...

I applied for a Student Nurse per diem position. They called and I interviewed the end of December. I thought the interview went well and I was extremely excited because it was in the ICU which is were I would like to work someday. I had not heard an...

Sorry for the ramble. I just get frustrated that I work and go to school and wish the government would help me a little more than those that do nothing and expect everything for free.
