So evidently I am the only one who saw that title - Doh investigaion - and thought of Homer Simpson.

I remember feeling this way when I was waiting for acceptance. One technique I use when I get anxious is simply to tell myself I am not going to think about that right now. Then I try to focus on what I am doing or I use imagery. This can be whatever...

We Band of Angels.

I am a pretty confident person. But I experienced this too prior to graduation. I found that the more experience I get, the more confident I become.

Pharmacology. Drug categories. Things like Ace inhibitors, beta blockers. Pharm questions were numerous on the nclex.

" You have to do what you have to do, where the lord has placed you to be able to pass and be advanced to the next level. If you don't pass the test you'll never pass the class and you'll keep taking it over and over and over.". I love this quote....

It is the same in Columbus, Ohio. BSN's are preferred and if you get hired as an ADN, you are expected to get your BSN within 5 years of date of hire. The job market here is tough.

I googled it. Sounds like rehab to me.

I picked my specialty before I picked nursing. I always wanted to work with kids. But daycare doesn't pay well. So I went to nursing school to be able to make money doing what I love. Fortunately I discovered that I love nursing. Being a Peds nurse i...

From what I see on Allnurses, the job market is really tough all over the country for nurses. New nurses are branded. Nobody will hire them because they need experience as an RN, but how do you get it if nobody will hire you? Pay will depend on th...

In answer to your question, When is it Ok to Make Waves at work? This is not the time. Sign the paper and agree to do what they ask. That is your job. Also, let your manager know why you cannot complete your job as assigned when it happens. If you h...

I saw this job posting too. I wonder if we saw it at the same facility? It was a Children's Hospital.

I find counting the number of psych patients you had in one shift offensive.

Volunteer at the hospital you want to work in. Look to home health agencies for private duty. They love RNs but the pay is low. Having any nursing experience will help. Seek the help of a professional resume writer. Start networking. Good luck. Keep...

It was the same at my school. A students couldn't pass that Freaking test. Try hesistudy.com. it is worth the cost. It helped me pass the exit exam, on the last try. I wish I had found it sooner. Also, if you have an iPhone, download the NCLEX apps t...

The hospital I just signed on with requires a bachelors in 5 years. At their tuition reimbursement rate per year, it may take me 5 years to complete the one year program. After paying for my LPN and LPN to ADN programs out of pocket, I am very inter...

If you are still interested, try flyinghorsefarms.org. I believe they are around the country, but you might also look under Serious Fun Network. I volunteered at FFH a month ago and I loved it. It was truly a heartwarming experience. I have signed u...

My advice is to take what you can get.

I am taking mine in a few weeks. I got my ATT today and freaked out a little. My Plan: Breathe. Study hard. Breathe. Good Luck!

Columbus Ohio. No new grads. Everyone wants experience. If you live in Columbus and know somewhere that is hiring new grads, pray tell.

My advice: Get through first semester! Setting up good study skills will go a long way to helping you get through. Figure out what works for you. Make some friends and study with them. Finding a balance between school and home life is tricky. I wasn...

I am a private duty peds nurse. The mom of my tiny patient has a special blog that is for people who have kids with chronic issues to post updates on how the child is doing. She has given me access to view the blog. Is subscribing to this blog a HIPA...

Thank you for your responses. My employer does not have an official policy on this.

I would think Case Management in Home Health would be a good option for you. Of course, with your masters, you can teach.

About the second question - When I took Peds a few months ago, the recommendation for pediatric patients with diarrhea was a diet called - MYCV (meat, yogurt, c? and vegetables). This is basically a normal diet. We used to use the BRAT diet - banana...
