Wow...I don't know what to say. I do not think I ever saw that happening..I would feel very uncomfortable also

Try NOT to preschedule doubles...some places that is illegal?? At least where I work..you can not preschedule 16 but you can "pick up" after the schedule is posted.....fishy huh...try to work an extra day but not doubles...reason is that there is a l...

If they have a med that needs a pulse or bp when its given then the nurse will take the vitals when giving the med if applicable...i.e apical radial pulse before giving for example Lanoxin

Take them when they are awake...and chart in the notation box"patient preference"(i.e to have vitals taken at that time. You could ask them if they want to be woke up again...in an hour...LOL...NO they will tell you and chart that!(everyplace has a c...

PRn in most places mean no guarantee of hours or any benefits...Industry standard...however...I do know of new grads at our magnet facility that can work full time....most of the time. Count your lucky starts if you do not need benefits AND you are g...

You can become an RN for the same amount of money. I love LPN's so please no one flame me. I have seen many LPN's that I would rather have than an RN anyday if I were the patient. However, you will have more career options ...for jobs and if you want...

Did you have to get an exemption to take the capstone with another class? I thought you had to have all of them done before you could take it. This is great news to me as I would like to finish this summer and that would be the only conceivable way I...

It looks like Scrubsmagazine is validating what many of us are feeling/experiencing out there in Nursing Land. BSN for entry level and some states are mandating BSN in 10 after your entry(other entry level) education. Thoughts? Anyone experiencing t...

Stoma revision? If that is now possible..Is there an uneven area that is making the appliance not lay flat? Was there less leakage with thinner stools? Hard to say with what info you have given us. In the meantime you probably already are using a ski...

@ Otessa..I heard long ago that divorced nurses and divorced cops make the best "remarriage" couples!!

Everyone at my employment must get the vaccine/clinical or not. It is a condition of employment. There are many people lined up to fill their position. The thing about the good ole USA no one forces you to work somewhere.. it IS a matter of choice.I ...

Yes u are right.. cliques rule..they probably were jealous of you. You probably never played the suck up game with them.. bad girl bad.Good for you for calling them on it... I would want my agency to know how they are and I sure would not want to wor...

We shall overcome wodsyny!!! I am in the same boat.. I was a math person in high school...we don't want to count back that many years.

Deep breaths.. the first step at improving your life is realizing you need change.. guess what you are NOt washed up and you are already there!!!!!!! Wow after all you have been through I would not have survived it..so give yourself credit. It really...

Widening pulse pressures can be from increased intracranial pressure.

I would advise you to get some GOOD career counseling. You seem to have quite a lot of credentials.. I know the market is tight.. what kind of nursing job were you looking for? You say a new grad? You went to an MSN program for your entry level in n...

In a situation like that in the future be professional and direct " Susie can you grab me a yankauer and suction set up?" It is always good after these types of situation where you can not have a real in depth conversation to perhaps follow up with....

Were there prereqs for these Stat classes @ Ou..or testing upfront?

I am so sorry for your experience. First of all ... is your preceptor NOT with you all the time?? They should not have a separate assignment by any nursing standards that I currently know of.Also I agree with one of the responders you should have ha...

I do not know what you mean by "reformed" ..but if you continue to use drugs just know that even if you evade preemployment screening/by staying off drugs long enough to pass the test... You can be tested randomly ,,,and you might not know when some...
