    Chart the actually temp and note that it was an axillary temp. For a lot of peds patients, it's the best way to get their

    Confused About Compact State Licensure...

    KelRN215 replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's not because you got a license in a non-compact state that your SC license became a single state license but because you moved out of SC. As I understand it, in order for a license to be a...

    drug testing for nursing school

    Question about getting a license endorsement for another state

    KelRN215 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    You can be licensed in as many states as you want provided you pay their fees and complete their continuing education requirements. There is no such thing as "transferring" a nursing license. I doubt...

    Was I hired? I'm freaking out

    KelRN215 replied to TeensyWeensyRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you're hired, you will receive a call from HR. That's a normal way to answer that question. It means neither that you got the job nor that you didn't. It means only that if you are hired, HR will...

    How far in advance do you get your class/clinical schedule?

    KelRN215 replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Students

    When I was in college, there was only one section of each nursing course offered each semester so classes were known way in advance/when we registered. We had a general idea of when clinicals would...

    Anyone from the Northeast US move and not regret it?

    KelRN215 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's a sellers' housing market right now, that's your problem. I bought my house in the Northeast in 2011 when it was a buyers' market and paid $350K for a 3 bedroom in a residential area of the city,...

    KelRN215 replied to futurenurse16's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it's fine unless you have relevant volunteer experience to add. I prefer to not see GPAs on resumes for non-new grads because I don't think it's relevant in the least once you're a working...

    Can a Manager limit how may days off in a row you can take?

    KelRN215 replied to wasabiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Staffing the unit is up to your manager's discretion. That they allowed you to work 3 days in a row to get 4 days in a row off was nice but there's nothing to prevent the manager from changing your...

    KelRN215 replied to bossladi39's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well the school has to send all of your transcripts to Pearson Vue for them to issue your ATT. If the exit exam is the requirement for completion of the program, I doubt there's anything you can do...

    Tracheostomy

    KelRN215 replied to RN2bfro76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never known a nurse with a trach but have known of a respiratory therapist who had one. I don't see why a trach would prevent you from being a nurse. It should not be relevant to your acceptance...

    In general, when does an RN task EVER require supervision of a Physician or Nurse Practitioner? If it's something in the RN's scope of practice, it's in her scope of practice. I have never, in 11...

    Pediatric nursing right out of school?

    KelRN215 replied to ital91's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It is. So why would working with adults for 1-2 years out of school be helpful for getting a peds position down the road? I think if you want peds, go for peds. Then you learn how to be a pediatric...
