    Late on interview.

    JustBeachyNurse replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe a free standing urgent care center affiliated with a larger hospital system. I wasn't aware that with a limited scope afforded in California a LVN could work as a clinical supervisor. Unless...

    Supervisior causing problems, what should I do?

    JustBeachyNurse replied to sunshiny1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is none unless you wish to resign or be terminated and ineligible for rehire company wide. Nursing is a small world. Walking off the job because you perceive an assignment to be "unfair" and a...

    Supervisior causing problems, what should I do?

    JustBeachyNurse replied to sunshiny1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not a made up reason, liars are always caught. Your home is actually on fire known because your neighbor or the fire dispatcher called . Your family member is acutely ill or injured and being rushed...

    Supervisior causing problems, what should I do?

    JustBeachyNurse replied to sunshiny1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you walk out on the day you will likely be considered constructive resignation. You need to decide if this is a battle worth risking your job for. Do you have seniority? Were you hired for a...

    Late on interview.

    JustBeachyNurse replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    Your choice of syntax and vocabulary is not appropriate and excessive when repeating an apology for being tardy. It reads like English is not your first language and you sat with a thesaurus...

    Did the PVT trick and paid the 200

    JustBeachyNurse replied to ChickenEgg's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We can't answer this for you. You will not know for certain until CABRN elects to process your NCLEX results. Many have had passing results delayed posting on BreeZe especially this time of year....

    Should gtube feeding bags be rinsed between feedings?

    JustBeachyNurse replied to Martyyyna's topic in Pediatric

    I have one patient that actually tolerates cold feeds better! This is a unique kiddo and has less upper and lower gas when formula is cool or cold. Nearly everyone else needs ambient or warmed....

    Should I have checked?

    JustBeachyNurse replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    You were right. There was no reason whatsoever to perform a peri-area exam. There was nothing you could do or say. Offer a sanitary pad if you suspected menarche and call the parent. Glad I have a...

    Confused... am I an RN or not??

    JustBeachyNurse replied to cabrig's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Quick results are 100% accurate for pass/fail. If you did pass, quick results are not a guarantee that you will be issued a license by the BoN. Only the BoN can declare you a nurse. So no, you are not...

    ielts first or nclex? what's the first exam to take?

    JustBeachyNurse replied to nursejandrew's topic in Nurse Registration

    I assume you are an IEN. Review the requirements for nursing license by examination as an IEN for the state BoN. Generally IELTS/demonstration of English language proficiency is necessary before a BoN...

    JustBeachyNurse replied to Martyyyna's topic in Pediatric

    Bags are used for intermittent such as 250mL at 100mL/hr in home care. Bolus feeds are done with 60mL syringe via gravity (or slow bolus push if a puréed diet via GT instead of liquid

    Nursing student hair color change for more respect

    JustBeachyNurse replied to Vonqiqi's topic in General Students

    Your thought process is unfounded. Blonde hair is not stereotyped as "dumb" "incapable" "ditzy"in nursing school or in healthcare as you are assuming. You will not necessarily be taken more seriously...

    Puerto Rico Rn to Ohio RN

    JustBeachyNurse replied to jennhrn94's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    It's not by endorsement as PR does not take the NCLEX. The nurse needs to apply for a nursing license by examination as a foreign educated nurse. The instructions are here:...

    Micromanaging, control-freak client

    JustBeachyNurse replied to metallaces's topic in Home Health

    Take notes as to how she wants things done her way. Obviously take her literally (put in wash so just put in wash). Or ask, "Since I'm putting these in the washer, do you want me to start the wash...

    JustBeachyNurse replied to Jsarmien1's topic in Government, Military

    Make certain you meet with a healthcare recruiter if you wish to ultimately commission as an RN. Most recruiters are general enlistment. In order to commission as an RN, you must hold a BSN. All...
