I saw a couple similar threads about LPN jobs, but I wanted to ask for myself. I will be a new grad soon and I'm thinking of relocating. In my area, we have a few jobs (better than some places!) but...
I'd say if you got the IV in on the first time while under pressure about being an expert on IVs, then you're pretty darn good. Stop questioning yourself about exaggerating your skills and be proud of...

I personally liked the wonderful advice, "Don't let your stethoscope become a STAPH-oscope!" That sentence makes me want to add "HAR HAR HAR" to the end of
I'm on a peds floor for preceptorship. This week, we had an 8 month old girl with RSV getting nebulizer treatments. She would always drop to like 82% right after the treatments, even after she had...
This didn't happen as much when she was on continuous oxygen, it started after she was on room air. This explains how her lungs "liked" the higher FiO2 like you said. Also, it was an albuterol...

My teacher told me today in clinical that Lovenox is supposed to be administered over 1 minute. I administered it slowly, with the air bubble, then counted to 10 before I pulled the needle out. I...
I did just nod and say, "Okay", because I don't want to argue with the teacher. I just thought it sounded a little off to administer it soooo slowly, so I wanted to check if anyone else had heard of...
I'm currently a BSN student and am planning on graduating in May (hooray!). I've always had a plan for after I graduate. My original plan was to get a job first, hopefully in pediatrics, OB or a...
My school doesn't require a physical, but we have to sign something saying we can lift 20 pounds, etc. Basically, I think it's that we can perform the requirements with "reasonable accomodations"...
I haven't read this whole thread, so I'm sorry if this has already been covered. I'm a senior nursing student and graduate in May. I'm looking at mission programs, but I'm not sure where yet. Also,...
