That makes sense. Going to see if we can make some changes. Seems counterintuitive to me that as PACU nurses we're supposed to be at the patient's bedside doing real-time charting for the time they're with us but the computer is outside.

I am moving to MD in about 2 months so recently applied for an endorsement license from NY. I drove down to Baltimore a few weeks ago to try to deal directly with the BON because of all the negative comments here. I did my fingerprint card right ther...
Hi - I am relocating to the Eastern Shore from the Northeast. Pretty much every job I see (for floor nursing) is a rotating shift. I'm a bit apprehensive about this as I've always been on day shift and at my age am just not sure how well I'll be able...
I will be moving to NYS next year and want to get my NY license prior to moving, since most hospitals seem to require that you have an active license to even interview. I am currently licensed in a compact state. Is there any problem with my maintain...

Hi - I'm starting A&P I and Inorganic Chem this weekend (yes, Labor Day weekend....!) at Rockland Community College (Rockland County, in NY). Anyone in those classes let me know if you're interested in connecting, online or maybe in a study group...
Ok, I'm using the "ask the audience" lifeline on this one! Most of the nursing programs I've looked at require at least one chemistry with a lab. I never took chemistry as part of my original bachelor's degree 20 years ago, and only vaguely remember ...
