I don't know if you have a CarwNow near you but they hire new grads.

I most definitely have not disclosed any of that information.

Hello. This is so hard to post. But due to chronic pain, I have become addicted to pain meds. They aren't prescribed. I am going to a methadone clinic soon. 1. To help stop this stupid behavior I'm doing before I go to prison or die. 2. To help with ...

I'd dispute the test and retake it. Maybe by then you'll be clean.

I felt absolutely amazing all night. I work NOC shift. Second dose today and already feel amazing. I think this is it guys. ❤️

So I started at the methadone clinic today. And I can say that the pain is already so improved with ONE dose. I have ZERO desire to use tonight. I'm excited for what this means for my future. Thank you all for the support and love. It's not easy bein...

I haven't been at this job long enough for FMLA. ?

It is sad. Makes us fearful to seek help for sure.

I financially cannot stop working.

I'm in Texas but not in TPAPN. I'm sorry to hear you are. I've heard it's pure hell.

Thank you!!

I am not a new member here but about to sign up for Excelsior. Do you have any tips for me? Thanks and congrats!!

That is correct. I convert the gr to mg. So I say there is 60mg/1gr so there are Xmg/.17gr (6/1=.166). That gives you 10 mg. Then do D/H*V. So 5/10*1=.5. Hope that helped. I am so bad at math but for some reason calculation clicked with me. G...

You actually can administer 2L of O2 w/o orders so I actually got that one right. LOL Great post!

We have addressed this in school. Just get someone else to do it for you. It doesn't make you a bad nurse or pushing beliefs....it makes you faithful to your beliefs and I totally respect that!

One thing I've learned in NS is that it's not about you, It's about the patient. As harsh as it may sound...it is true.

I was looking into this and my instructor said they can cut off blood supply if you use the socks. I don't like hose. What to do?

I have read other reviews that state that EC will try to purposely fail you during your clinical test. I am super interested in the program...but it is a lot of money. I just need to make sure it is worth the expense.

I am doing clinicals at a LTC facility..and the nurses here say they LOVE their jobs and would not want to be anywhere else. I think it just depends on you!

Almost finished with my first semester in the WC LVN program! Whew!! It is going by so fast. mommap...I have had several RN instructors tell me that LVN to RN is the way to go. Supposedly LVNs learn more bedside nursing and RNs learn a lot of th...

Hello all. I was accepted into NS and will start in January. I have a HUGE fear that once I am a nurse I will make mistakes or forget something that could cost someone their life. Is this a common fear among nurses? Do they teach you how to deal ...

Thanks everyone. These posts are helping me realize that I'll have help at first.

Yeah $125 when you can go to medisave and get one for around $70 and FREE engraving!

This IS my dream. And I know it's what I am meant to do. I'm glad I have the fear so I will be more aware. Thanks everyone for the reassurance.
