Thank you so much on your input and advises GrnTea. I will try to better my documentations and proceed issues like this with more attention next time. With what i had to deal with in the last few weeks, had really got me curious and want to be the nurse I think I am.

I have forgotten all about nclex which I now relaize that I have venture away from the perfect nursing world. I have encourage clients to ask the doctors questions and be prepare with questions, but guess my client mistook me for not answering any of their questions after I told them "this is what i usually see happen in other clients who may have the same diagnose." I now learn to not say anything even if I may know what is usually being done. I didn't document anything that was said down because it was a whole bunch of I can't discuss labs, test results, and doctor's notes with you. I am curious now how can I be more accurate in writting in the pt's chart telling the doctor that pt have questions and questions about x, y, z? I have always passed it on to the day nurse to get the primary doctor to come talk to the pt. I didn't mention anyone name in my converstation, but we have cohort rooms so privacy is pretty much out of the picture. Every discussions you have or noise you make the other client will hear it. The only privacy the client will get is when the drapes are pulled for changing and dressing. Between thanks for your reply, it really have given me hope and ideas on how to manage future issues as this.

Thank you everyone for giving me your input. I didn't think I was doing any thing wrong other then giving my care and advising them of how to better prepare themselves for answers and questions. I have been lurking here and there for privacy rules and how to better handle converstations like this again.

I know that it get depressing when you have such high hopes after NS. It happened to me. It took me 3 months to finally be allow to take my nclex and then 3 months to actually land a job. It took me all the resources, ass kissing, and small talks to get a position within my company i was already working in. Hang in there, something will come up eventually.

Pick your team for a study group. I didnt do this during 1st semester and almost fail. 2nd semester, i finally got into a study group, but had drama within the group. 3rd and 4th semesters went fine after i know who are my team/players. Always stay under the radar. Btw congrats and have fun!

Wow, sometimes all we need to do is wait for the media when it comes to popular people.

Wow that must have been nice of your company. Our hospital wouldnt pay nurses that much just to sit. They rather use us for hard labor 

Sorry for typos and run on sentences, i am stress and typing from my phone.

When patients ask us what are the treatments for their condition, can we say "from my experinces i usually see this things and steps being done." not to say they will get the same treatment as everyone else in their condition, but this is what i usually see being done. Also can we suggest unaware patients/families to do their own reseach online if they already know the diagnoses? Suggesting them to become more aware of choices and questions so they can be prepare to ask doctors questions. How about clients who are GCS 15 and have their kids as the speaker for them, inquiring if the doctors can call and update their other relatives who is also a doctor? My answer for this question was "i dont know if the doctor will call since your alert and your kids are alert, but if they dont call best time to get to to talk to your relative doctor is get them on the phone when the doctors come to see you so that way the doctor will talk to them infront of you."

I dont feel it before work or during work, but after work. It took 6 months for me to feel comfortable but still have anxieties once i leave work.

Thanks i am in cali

Thanks! I am in cali

Just wondering do we have to get a livescan fingerprint everytime we renew our rn lic? This will be my first renewal and i havent done the livescan yet becuase under FAQ in brn it states if a applicant have not previously been fingerprinted then they are require to get one. But i have previously been fingerprinted less then 2 yrs ago. TIA!!

I have an interview tomorrow. Thank you all for your input on this thread. I will post the questions that I get asap. I will have a long day and night tomorrow. Wish me luck :)
