  1. Need some advice...

    jrkingRN replied to criticalRN10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you're happy in your trauma ER and your local CRNA program will accept that as the critical care requirement, I suggest staying put. If you want to become more familiar with vasoactive gtts and...

  2. CRNA to anesthesiologist

    jrkingRN replied to Ackeem's topic in General Students

    You MUST have at least one year in a critical care unit. CRNA school is competative, so the more experience the better. Also, once you start working in said unit, you will realize how valuable that...

  3. Confused about Vandy's tuition reimbursement.

    jrkingRN replied to mmcmarsh's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Vandy pays for 12 hours per year (not semester) if you are taking a NURSING degree. The 70% off is for non nursing

  4. Get fired or resign from new grad program

    jrkingRN replied to Aurora21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Resign. And make sure the LVN got written up too, and the pharmacy. 0.75mg is a LONG way from 75mg and someone else should have noticed the error before the med was dispensed. The LVN should have...

  5. Honeymoon Period Over?

    jrkingRN replied to BeachPrincess's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know the feeling. But working in an ICU setting will further your career. Maybe you could look into some per diem work? I had a doc tell me yesterday that if he had to think as much as a nurse all...

  10. Frustrated Charge Nurse

    jrkingRN replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    I've been (and still am) in that EXACT same predicament. I spoke to my manager about it. Unfortuately, there wasnt much she could do scheduling wise because EVERYONE on nights is a new grad (except...

  12. Nursing care plan diagnosis for risk of fat embolism

    jrkingRN replied to laleach3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well you hit the jackpot! If I had a patient with a history of Afib that fell I would DEFINITELY be thinking about afib's tendency to cause blood clots. And then maybe that blood clot traveled to his...

    jrkingRN replied to PoetOfMyHeart's topic in General Nursing

  19. Care plan on chest pain?

    jrkingRN replied to Sftblgrl21's topic in General Students

    Hmmm... what WAS she admitted for? Angina is certainly a disease, and you CAN do a care plan on it, however if you KNOW she has a bicuspid aortic valve, perhaps you should do your care plan on that?...

  20. Goodbye social life.

    jrkingRN replied to Reach4theStars's topic in General Students

    Don't worry honey...your social life may suck now, (mine did too in nursing school) but when you graduate you'll be working 3 days a week and wondering what to do with so much free

  21. Work as a graduate nurse or pass the NCLEX first?

    jrkingRN replied to decgrad's topic in General Students

    Look at other hospitals besides just your rural one. I don't know if you have a family or if you can up and go, but most moderately large hospitals have a "student nurse tech" position (it may be...

  22. Night Shift Jet Lag??

    jrkingRN replied to shakedwnst924's topic in General Nursing

    :redpinkhe I agree with the first post entirely. I've worked nights for 3 years now. If you have self scheduling, try to work your 3 nights in a row. When you get home from your last night only sleep...

  23. Starting to doubt my self?

    jrkingRN replied to LorderrorproneRN's topic in General Nursing

    OMG. RUN from that facility right now! If they are treating you this way already, things are going to go downhill fast. When hiring new grads a GOOD place to work is going to have a special program...
