looks like were in the same situation though i am taking critical care and med surg tests on friday coz i applied for a telemetry position. i also took a preemployment test before for RN's and its easy, basically everything about nursing, nothing specific.

Thank you for your responses! What you posted were fabulous, I am trying to reflect and answer them now. Again, Thanks. Pls include me n your prayers. Btw, right now, I am working in a ltc facility.

Hi! I need help. I will be having a phone interview on friday for princeton health for their RN OR training program. I wonder what questions they will ask? this is my first phone interview and a bit nervous. Help!

They usually tell us at the beginning of the shift if we are going to have an admission, with that, I manage my time accordingly so I dont fall behind my meds and tx. If my admission comes within the time that I am there I finish all the paperwork and the supervisor helps us with verifying orders and other stuff.

hey everyone! been so busy at work. Thanks for all your responses. Btw, I just got a second job at another LTC. Then I have one hospital interview coming up. :) we'll see how everything goes. Hope all is well with yall!

he was a full code. i was also thinking he might had TIA. Thanks so much for your response, i really appreciate it, makes me more confident. :)

yes everything i wrote here, i also documented on my notes. I dont know why theyre mad that i sent the man out. just this morning this coworker of mine questioned me. i told her the whole story and asked her "what do u want me to do then?" and she kept quiet. its so hard being new at work coz it seems that they dont trust you with your judgement that much.

Hi, i am a fairly new nurse. ive been working on a rehab floor in a ltc facility. yesterday, while i was passing meds, the aide called me to check on a resident because he was not responding. I went inside the resident's room, called him by his name several times but didnt respond at all, his eyes were just open, he was breathing, he was perspiring and he was a little cold when i touched him. Cant obtain BP. Oxygen sat was at 87%. I put him on oxygen. Called my supervisor for help. I asked her right away if i should call 911 since this might be going on for more than 5 minutes and she said yes. So i called 911. Went back to pt room and tried to get his BP and it was 80/60. When EMT arrived, after 2 mins, the resident started to talk. Eventhough he started responding, we still sent him to er for evaluation. now, the unit manager and the other staff nurses are questioning me why i sent the man out. I told them the whole story but they keep on talking behind my back and saying that i was wrong. btw, the resident was admitted to the hospital.
