I don't know of any employer that will give you months off at a time unless it's medical leave. A vacation like that is something you need to do before finding employment. What you can do is talk to the hospitals you were thinking about applying at and asking what their vacation policies are.

Is the dx of anorexia supposed to mean anorexia nervosa the eating disorder, or anorexia being the loss of desire to eat (such as in some cancer pts)?

I've always stuck with nice pants (something tan, brown, or blue....Never jeans), a button-down shirt (tucked in) and casual or semi-dress leather shoes. If I want to add extra, I'd wear a tie.

Good point.

I have to log in to access anything. But the idea of just swiping in sounds like it would be a time saver.

Good luck with school. Post again if you need any help.

Take notes in lecture, take notes when studying. This always worked for me when I was trying to memorize. It might work for you. Also, try getting a study group together and study chapters together or answer prectice question. You could also see of the instructor is willing to put together a study guide. Hope it gets better for you.

I was 22 when I graduated.

Listen to them, do what you are supposed to do, act professional. Pretty much just act like you are starting a new job.

Do you have any thoughts on the answer so far? Let us know what you are thinking already, and we can help you from there.

Personally, I would have gone back to my unit after leaving the unit I floated to to see what the staffing needs were or if I needed to float to another unit. But when the supervisor tells you to leave, you assume they know what they are talking about. Because they told you to go, and you reported off, I don't see how you really can get in trouble for it.

What shift were you suposed to be working?

I'd pick (A). Restlessness would be because of low O2 sats due to blood loss, Heart rate would increase as blood pressure decreases.

Try searching on Google Scholar. It can help you find articles or journals. I used it a lot in school.

Stethoscope, scissors, clamps, penlight, pen, sharpie, watch. Everything else I get at work.

I would suggest picking the area that you would get the most experience and best learning opportunities. Also, look at where you want to go after graduation. I was able to pick the OR too, but I decided against it because the OR nurse's role didn't seem to give enough experience to learn what I needed for graduating, boards, and being a new grad. It also depends on if you want to work in an OR after graduation. If so, then it would be great for you. I would suggest a med/surg unit or a small ICU where you can get a bit of everything.

Turning the pt from side to side and using pillows to prop them up to change pressure points. Depending on their current skin condtion, having them on their back between sides might happen too.

Maybe a skirt would be nice on a hot summer day to get some air flow, but I think my boss might have a problem with it.

Just curious...What's the relation between cotton and wireless waves?

I've orderd from few scrub/medical sites, and I've had bad luck. With one I had to contact the BBB and my bank to try to get my money back. I would definately advise checking up on any website before you order, and stick to major ones you know.

Nike. I see them a lot where I work.

Mine never leave my work. I leave them in my locker and wear another pair home. Too many body fluids have touched those shoes, and even if I wipe them down with sanitizer, I don't feel right bringing them home.

"Can you hear me now?.......Good!"
