FORTHELOVEOF!!!!

I will probably be on probation in the next month or so but am wanting to go to Hawaii on vaca in Sept. Does anyone know if you can test while out of state? Thanks!

What is COC?

Thank you all do much! I'm no longer scared to book this vaca!

Well what I was hoping to know I guess was if my number comes up while I'm in Hawaii, can I just test there? I will ask once I settle with BON just curious if anyone had done it like that before. Thanks

Thank you. I don't have a case manager yet as I haven't settled with the Missouri BON but I'm hoping it won't be an issue.

I have never had blood drawn for employment before, does anyone know why the VA draws blood as part of pre-employment?

Ok, I feel the need to give more information after reading some of the responses. I have not had my blood drawn yet as my job is contingent on getting through all the red tape that is necessary to work for the federal gov't, so no consents signed ye...

All HCA hospitals hire ADN's, St. Lukes does as well. The only one's I know that will not hire ADN's any longer are Truman and KU. The Carondelet's will hire ADN's if they think you are a good fit but will pick a BSN before an ADN 9 out of 10 times...

I had just quit smoking the day before and my head wasn't quite right, a little head in the clouds feeling and couldn't quite think out any good answers for the interviewers. Long story short, at the end of the interview they asked if I would come i...

So nervous, did Kaplan, average between 60 to 67 on qbank and 68 on readiness. Is this good enough????

Found out today that I passed! PVT still works!

When you review your your Kaplan tests, jot down the stuff you didn't know anything about and go back to the kaplan course book and read a little about it. Good luck

Most hospitals in the KCMO area start new grads at 21.50.

Our kaplan instructor told us that SATA questions are well above the passing line, so yes, I took that as a good sign. The test is designed just like Kaplan imo but the SATA are easier on NCLEX. Don't second guess yourself and don't worry about cra...

Done. 75 questions, 55 minutes, 18 SATA, and the good pop-up, whew!

Taking mine tomorrow too, I am so nervous. Took Kaplan and average 60-67% on qbank and a 68 on the readiness, I hope it's accurate, good luck!

Rudeness sucks but it's inevitable. Many of the clinics in CVS, Walgreens, and WalMart, have one practitioner and a receptionist who checks you in and gets vitals. The only problem I get from your post (other than the rudeness) is the fact that a d...

I really feel for you, I have always wanted to work in nursing homes because I love the geriatric population, but things like this keep me from it. In the hospital we do send people before they are ready, it's only going to get worse too. However, ...

If you quit before your shift is over, even if you hand it over to someone else, yes they can report you, at least in my state they can, and they did just last week.

When I get busy I like to use the secondary line and hook my syringe up to it and set it to run 2-5 min. Dilute based on your hospital policy or judgement call.

3 months early is the soonest we can apply in my state, check with the local hospitals for a more definite answer for your area.

Contact a lawyer just in case. Every state is different as far as the amount of time that has to lapse before a relationship is ok. I believe my state is 6 months, and if you are having a hard time finding this info there may not be a deep line in ...

I'm still waiting on my favorite part of nursing school, graduation! One month to go!

I have been in this position numerous times, I want so badly to go in and lay it all out on the table. But when the day comes I usually take the grown up route and leave on a positive note so that I can be considered for rehire sometime in the futur...

Not all nurses hang around to witness the waste, but your system sounds a little flawed. Ours lets you take out what you want and will show a variance if the amount given is different than dispensed and then you take another nurse in to waste with y...
