    Epic care plans and goals

    I currently use EPIC but there is no such thing as a patient/family goal. We have templates with specific problems, which automatically pops up your goal and intervention. Example: Select template for...

    Stanford Rape

    The thing that bothered me the most is that the rapist seemed to think he is going to be a surgeon: Turner was also asked where he hoped to be in 10 years. In residency to be a surgeon,” he...
  4. It is not worth the money. Here is a breakdown based off of the estimated tuition cost from WCU (https://westcoastuniversity.edu/programs/bachelor-science-nursing-bsn/tuition.html) Estimated Cost:...

    I'm running away to PetSmart

    My very first job was at a PetSmart, and I can tell you firsthand that the grass isn't greener on the other side. Worst job ever, you never actually take care of animals, but you do get yelled at by...

    Help with interview outfit

    Thanks so much for the feedback! Feeling the love from you guys helps a lot As for the suit jacket and pants, I wasn't able to find a suit jacket that I liked... it seemed that in order for it to fit...

    Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    I don't consider myself a hero, but seriously? This article is a large steaming pile, or rather pool, of C-Diff. We get paid well for our 'limited education'? Just because teachers don't make what...

    Why don't you just read the chart?

    Ah yes, because no one has ever forgotten to chart an IV, or that the patient peed, or has a stage IV wound on their sacrum. ER can be just as crazy and I don't expect perfection. I do expect answers...
  10. Hey there! My only advice is that rushing to meet the deadline can end up setting you back as much or more than if you kept a steady pace and applied after you finished with a normal class load. I...

    California Board of Registered Nursing

    Bad timing for you. Everyone just graduated in spring, and there is a huge amount of applications that are being processed by the BON. Hopefully it gets finished soon, good luck

    NP Salaries/Location/Specialties

    Who did you speak with that makes that much money? Average pay for an NP I thought was just under 100k before taxes, but this is largely based off national stats and could be different for each...

    Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    I think because there was a report that patient outcomes are better with BSN nurses there is a push for magnet status at hospitals. Or it could be the hospitals just want to sound better to people, so...

    Do you chart lies?

    I would never document a turn that wasn't done. That being said, they require documentation every 2 hours. Not 2 hours 1 minute, not 2 hours 30 seconds, it HAS to be every 2 hours or sooner. I will...

    All Men Shift

    I didn't take it that way. I'm actually amazed at the attitude of female patients towards male nurses. Male OB/GYN is perfectly fine, but you expect me to have a MALE NURSE? *gasp* That's why I...

    All Men Shift

    I have had two male supervisors. One was an absolute nightmare, the other one of the best nurses I will probably ever know. It isn't fair to lump "you men" into a category. It sounds like your unit is...

    US to Finland. anyone?

    Amber nurse, sorry for the delayed response. That was my point about her being there despite difficulties. She ONLY is there because they reviewed her case and made an exception. When she got divorced...

    Of Nursing, Nudity and Public Perception

    One thing to add to my other post. Someone pointed out that the OP seems to be more fixated on the NURSE engaging in after hour activities. I think from the original post it is pretty clear he is...

    blackballed

    DID they call your boss? I would have a word with your supervisor. Also, do you think you would have a better chance applying for a job at the hospital you work at now? You know more people personally...

    Of Nursing, Nudity and Public Perception

    I think when I was pregnant more than once I wondered if being a gynecologist ruined lady partss for my Male OBGYN. Then I realized how silly it was to think that because I have seen plenty of men and...

    Being Asked to Come in and Work as CNA...

    I would have to say, I can only dream that they would offer an extra shift as a CNA with RN pay. No med pass, actually getting to spend time with a patient again. You will be very busy with other...

    How I feel right now before school starts...

    I remember the first day of nursing school as one of the longest in my life. At least for my school, we had to get all of the formalities out of the way. This means a minimum of 1-2 hours introducing...
  25. I'm going to assume for an example that you work a similar shift to me, three 12 hour shifts per week. You say you have been coming in 30 minutes early for the 7 years you have been working. With no...
