It can be a HippA violation if people can identify where you work too.

Under federal law, you cannot be discriminated based on health (I think). So take the note to your RN manager and explain how much you love your shift, but per your MD, you cannot work that shift. They have to switch you to a different shift to accom...

I also just had my TDap shot and it hurt so bad. Not to be a baby, but I know what you're talking about. As for what to do, show up and be ready to work. Definitely give the note to the nurse manager, and they should be able to work around it. As to ...

Count backwards from 1000 and subtract 7. It always does the trick.

Ayvah, I had a huge argument prepared, but you know what? I don't have to justify it to you. If you chose to put blame elsewhere, so be it; if that's what gets you through your days. Twois, I've always had a positive mindset and what gets me thru t...

twois- It is wayyy doable. :-) I have UC and have had it for 20 years. I had flares, but it's about getting the flares under control with maintenance medication and preventing the stress from getting to you. Whether it be exercising and diet. Those a...

Like everyone else, RUN!!! RUN FAR FAR AWAY!!!

good luck!

It depends on institution. Some will require NET, others will require TEAS.

I also got my call! Did you get the paperwork?

My friend also got a call for an interview. I still have yet to. :-( Keeping it in my prayers!

I'm with dthfytr. You need to have confidence in yourself. Do not compare yourself with other people. Make sure to take all the time you need to study and make it a habit every morning (like a job), to study. I took the Kaplan review course, and lear...

The question your preceptor posed is one that crosses the boundary of inappropriateness. However it is valid and could have been posed correctly. As everyone stated, it's to make sure that you don't leave right after training. That it takes a long ti...

They only accept RN's with a BSN.

In today's environment, we're lucky if the nurse recruiter even gives 15 seconds to our resume.

Hi! I did the Pearson Vue Trick myself and it worked! Congrats! Btw...from what I've heard, if you get the select alls that means you've gotten to the harder questions...:-) Just check the BRN website!

What's funny is that I have had this happen to me. You gotta realize a couple of things. #1) Bring your A game if you know that you're getting a rude nurse, #2) As the saying goes, "Kill em' with kindness." Unfortunately you will run into those who a...

Please, Please, Please fill it out! The BRN of California wants to know how bad of a situation we are in as new nurses trying to find jobs here in CA. If we do not let them know our dire situation, they cannot do anything about it, so please fill it ...

Not too hard, depends on the teacher. I took a class that was anatomy and then I took the physiology the next semester. Easier IMO. Just depends on how on top of things you are and how well u do in the sciences. Good luck!

I also applied to both. Waiting and crossing my fingers. Pay down south is alot less than in Norcal, but I'm willing to move for the experience. Probably around $30/hour.

I think the cancer patient and his wife were cute along with the young couple and their newborn. As to the nurse, I understand her flirting, humor is a way of coping in the hospital. It makes things go quicker and puts patients at ease sometimes, if ...

Majority of places, hospitals mainly, are phasing out associate degree RN's for BSN's. But even we're still having a hard time finding jobs. Hope this helps.

That's what I was talking about!! Why pay money just to keep your skills fresh for a maybe job when you could be looking for jobs. It's dumb, but people are more scared of losing their skills or think that if they do these residency programs, that t...

Sorry she made you feel that way.

Leslie, I caught that too..I was wondering which hospital it was...because the only hospital that popped up in my mind was Mass Gen.
