  1. Reporting violations of the law?

    pers replied to feebebe23's topic in General Nursing

    Hrm, I only considered consent and hadn't thought about emancipation with pregnancy which would further change things. I would imagine (but don't know) that for interested parents the laws regarding...

  2. Reporting violations of the law?

    pers replied to feebebe23's topic in General Nursing

    I know the belief is under 18 is statutory rape but that's not federal law and most states have very different standards. You would have to check with your state to find out the legal age and...

  3. Tossing Your Cookies...

    pers replied to JasmDasm's topic in General Nursing

    Never vomitted or fainted while at work. I have a high tolerance for most things but what grosses me out the most is not an actual body fluid but the sound... You know when a patient has that wet...

  4. Beyond Frustrated!!!!!!!!

    pers replied to totally_lost's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It sounds like maybe you need a day off! Studying is important, but taking a day off to let your brain relax is important too. Saunders gets pretty specific with pharm and I found it very frustrating...

  5. Failed nclex 75 questions TWICE!!! Here is my story...

    pers replied to gdj's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Unless you plan on living and working in Cali, it's not a state I'd suggest for testing since posts here indicate they can take a long time to give results! There are multiple states that allow you...

  6. Which Saunders book should I buy? 3rd or 4th

    pers replied to helpmepass's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would suggest the 4th as it will provide the most current

  7. Kaplan QBank/QTrainers

    pers replied to ShannyRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not aware of a way to access Kaplan without actually paying for the course (or using the info of someone else who paid for it). There is a lot of stuff available online for free but I have never...

  8. Can someone please explain KAPLAN to me?

    pers replied to helpmepass's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How do you find the actual content review with Kaplan? I'm leaning towards the online complete program as well but I'm not at all concerned with the strategies. The qbank and trainers I have no...

  9. How does this study plan sound?

    pers replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Even when it comes to books, everyone will have a different opinion. The most popular recommendations are Saunders, Kaplan and LaCharity. Kaplan makes a strategy book that also comes with a CD. It...

  10. Your appointment is only 10 minutes long...

    pers replied to qt2168's topic in General Nursing

    I've never run into this myself but agree that NP could have dealt with your mom better. I'm assuming this isn't a clinic but a primary care office? I understand they have time limits but unless...

  11. willing to relocate

    pers replied to arcoiris's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with using the cover letter to express interest in relocating. I would call HR and say you are considering applying for a position and would like to know if they are currently offering any...

  12. Hurst Mock NCLEX

    pers replied to Epona's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think your math is off but it might be my reading comprehension You can do this several ways. I'll do the math assuming a total of 125 questions with 85 questions answered correctly and 40...

  13. How does this study plan sound?

    pers replied to kgh31386's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'd take LaCharity over Lippincott because it offers a specific line of questioning that the NCLEX has been focusing on and many seem to struggle with. Every program is different but nursing school...

  14. Developing a Plan for taking the NCLEX-RN

    pers replied to pers's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm still working on Saunders. I like the questions and the CD but I don't like the content review. I'm not sure if it's just the format or me being sick of dealing with it! I've cheated a little...

  15. What's up with nursing signing bonuses?

    pers replied to allenwiemer's topic in General Nursing

    You don't feel the current market is different than it was in 2007? Perhaps in your area it hasn't changed at all and there are not only positions for new grads but bonuses for them as well! Though...

  16. What's up with nursing signing bonuses?

    pers replied to allenwiemer's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad, anywhere that will offer you a sign-on bonus in the current market is not likely to be a place you want to work as a new grad. Places offer bonuses because they are struggling to fill...

  17. How do you tell someone they smell bad?

    pers replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with most of the suggestions here and am with the group who would want to know, no matter how difficult it would be to hear. I don't agree with the Bath & Body works gift bag though as...

  18. Nursing Staff Pictures. .. . .

    pers replied to SmileyGirl210's topic in General Nursing

    I don't participate but they have done this where I work and used various shapes for the appropriate holiday or season (flags, christmas trees, eggs, etc) and generic shapes for non-holidays. One of...

  19. Required Nursing Uniform

    pers replied to pbstrums's topic in General Nursing

    The only time I've ever had to wear a specific set of scrubs was in school as my facility doesn't care what we wear provided it's not denim. They've talked about going to a uniform but so far it...

  20. Need advice,Problem CNA

    pers replied to stillwant2banurse's topic in General Nursing

    Considering the number of us who felt the solution was to fire her (I just mistakenly thought this may be up to your FIL not you and your spouse) based on what you had posted I don't think it's all...

  21. D-Day: July 3rd, 2009.

    pers replied to FNPdude74's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Doesn't matter the order you answer questions as you should end up doing pretty much every question on the CD. Good luck and remember to take the day before off and

  22. Need advice,Problem CNA

    pers replied to stillwant2banurse's topic in General Nursing

    If decisions regarding your MIL's care are up to you and your spouse and you are not happy with the care she is getting then contact the agency directly and ask for an RN and a replacement for the...

  23. Is it wrong?

    pers replied to m.nursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    It's illegal. Personally, I'd just as soon it not be as I put it on par with ETOH. You aren't the first, nor the last, nursing student to use MJ. It's a risk but unless you show up to...

  24. Need advice,Problem CNA

    pers replied to stillwant2banurse's topic in General Nursing

    Cooking meals and taking your MIL to the doctor may not be part of her job. Aside from clinicals in school I only did home health one summer but those tasks were not included in basic care. If those...

  25. Please help me out with a delegation question

    pers replied to beachbutterfly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Actually, for the NCLEX going by state laws is a bad idea since scope can vary widely by state! In my state a CNA can insert foleys and administer meds in some cases while an LPN can do IV...
