  1. Passed CCRN

    CONGRATULATIONS!! If we didn't care, we wouldn't be nurses or on this site. It is an important accomplishment to become certified in a specialty. Some are afraid to try because of the risk of failure/co workers finding out. Once again, congrats!!
  2. CEN recertification by internet based testing

    I personally just studied on my own. THE IBT was made purposely harder than the sit down computer based exam. Remember, you have 30 days and can use all the internet and book resources you want. You can even have the doctors you know help you. LO...
  3. Who is working tonight?

    I am permanent night weekends. Did not even have to ask to work the holidays this year!! 7P-7A rocks..:)
  4. new nurse who needs advice

    Give it more time. Ask questions when you are unsure. You will start to remember all the things that nursing school did not teach you, but you learnt on the job(trial by fire LOL). Though I am extremely surprised by your extremely short orientat...
  5. notice of trial - witness

    Did u do a blood draw? If u did, they will want u to testify about that, to include the chain of custody. Gone to court several times for that, as I work in an ER

    I do remember that my nurse manager in the ER had to sign my application also. No longer required too
  9. What is your incentive for obtaining your CEN?

    My hospital pays $1.00/hr after certification. After passing the test, they will reimburse you for the CEN test. In the Norfolk area,Va, Sentara(I work for them also), also pays the same. Just remember, passing the test will get you only so far. R...
  10. Male RN-assist with pelvic exams?

    I am a military RN who has worked in the ER all my life, it seems. I occcasionally do pelvic exams(with a female provider), of course. We do not allow 2 males to conduct a pelvic exam due to litigation issues. If there is a female provider, we wil...
  11. Nurses crossing picket lines??

    I beleve that crossing the picket lines is justified at times. Sorry, I have worked in ERs for over 8 years. I took an oath to help out my fellow humans. So if I am working in my ER and do not cross that picket line, am I not endangering possible ...
