I couldn't wait until tomorrow & so I checked pearson vue and it was not available at this time, sooo I went to check my GVN and its not there anymore! 0 results found...checked both ways. So I think I failed Anyone heard if this is accurate?

With every doctor and every patient the orders are different. Sometimes you will use your nursing judgement, say a person who has a sliding scale and routine insulin and the pt has 68mg/dL the sliding scale certainly wouldn't prompt for the insulin a...

Beautiful story!

I was where you are about 3 weeks ago, I got 2 days of orientation, that were at the very best weak 2 days. The nurse had no pleasure in showing me the ropes lol. I busted my butt*, did everything that I could & ask questions, listen in where I ...

Texas, $17/hr but I know some that got started elsewhere at $20/hr, some as low as $15/hr.

Also you probably need to know about the PRNs, the most common PRN in my SNF unit is ativan, restoril, and morphine. With the antipsychotic, antidepressants, ect there are many scary side effects & will need to be monitored. Make sure that you ch...

Just now reading this because my son has the chicken pox. And yes he was vaccinated. His pediatrician told me that (which is what I assumed after researching it before I decided to call it in for an appt.) when a child actually gets the chicken pox a...

I am an LVN who is going for her BSN in the near future. All I have ever wanted is to work on the floor! I want to be there, helping people hands on for the rest of my career. Sure I have thought of specialties like pedi oncology for tops, and any cr...

Think you made the right choice, you know you can find apartments that are pretty nice for around $800 per month, which you will be able to afford on that salary. I am an LVN trying to move to the area, going for my RN and let me tell you, that's all...

I am a new LVN. No experience who's long term goal is to be an NP with trauma in mind. I am in a decently rural area with only small hospitals within 60 miles. I would like to work at one of those hospitals in the future but nothing is open right no...

Okay I have decided to take the LTC care job. I worked yesterday and although it was clear that the CNA's are in a bad habit of not listening...I have been told that I can write them up and they have plenty of applications to go through if they conti...

Thank you! Now I just have two companies to decided from. :yelclap:

I am in the market & curious what you ladies & gents think. If you answer please let me know if you are happy with them or not :) THANK YOU!!!!:loveya:

I know I am a little nervous and want to dot all my I's and cross my T's. I did find some others that I have actually seen before! So I did a bit of oh man I should have done that first sorry! Where are the go to stickies I seem to be skipping over ...

I don't think you should move first unless you have another reason for moving. Because you don't know which state you will choose yet and what city either. Texas for instance is where I live and its HUGE and the bigger cities are pretty far apart fro...

Yeah I have run into this. I am actually trying to quit just passed my nclex so I know I need to quit now, excuse after excuse I give myself, nursing school, nclex, what next? a new job...gotta do it soon. I went to 2 nursing homes that wont allow sm...

Hope is there! Have you tried your local workforce if you have one? I spent at least 6 hours a day applying places, and the eagerness I suppose got me a few job offers. Don't give up on yourself, if anyone says "one year experience" say "I know that ...

GOOD LUCK! I took mine last Monday and I passed! I was very nervous, I thought I would continue to be mildly anxious but the morning of (I tested at 8 am) I threw up, and diarrhea and just felt terrible. I told myself I am in God's hands, he will t...

It is certainly important to maintain sterile technique you know those nurses who for instance say "do as I say not as I do" yeah they are out there. BUT that doesn't mean you have to be one of them. My favorite nursing instructor says "If you make a...

I thought for sure I would know what the drugs were that my kid would grow up and be faced with...now after this crap WHO KNOWS. Inserting tampons soaked in alcohol? Spice? Bath salts? Home school isn't looking that bad right now.

I used a pen light that was super cheap & disposable with the measurements on it...I was the only person I knew of in my school that actually wrote down what I determined the size to be. I used that pen until it ran out and realized that I could ...

I am being impatient! I know this, but just wondering what you guys have to say before I call them I was interviewed last week, "hired" on wed this week, and filled out the remainder of paperwork, drug screen ect. However I have no idea when they wil...

I did pass! And apparently I was looking in the wrong spot for my GVN because I bookmarked the wrong link! I feel so silly! I was crying for hours and then did the PVT and felt better, I check the following morning and it was posted that I passed the...

Sounds like you weren't expecting all this work, and I am sorry that you are overwhelmed. You need to take deep breaths and remind yourself why you wanted to be a nurse. I completely agree with the cheat sheet idea you don't even have to put what the...

Congratulations! I bet that it will coming flowing back! I say that you should maybe refresh on BLS, I would bring a drug book or possibly your phone if you even can so that you can look up any drugs you don't know about...I bet you can find about th...
