Hello Nurses, Hope you can help me with this. I had a situation where I worked one of my PRN jobs about a month ago. And I had lots of charting to do. A couple of weeks later I realized that when I charted on one of my residents I put continent...

Thanks CapeCodMermaid. I can finally stop worrying!

Thanks a bunch! I thought it was too late to do anything at all. Being it was skilled charting. I'm totally freakin out!

Here is the problem. Ok i went in to check one of my resients blood sugar level and it was 425. So on the sliding scale it says to notify the doctor for anything more than 400 of course! So i called the on call dr about the blood sugar results and he...

Thank u so much for ur advice! U made me feel alot better! Thank u! Thank u! Thank u!!

Yea I charted I'n the nurses notes I'n her chart and we document it I'n a notebook that all the nurses write I'n on what happened on the shift so we could know what happen on the previous shift! It's like a cover urself notebook so there for subverte...

So I shouldn't bring it up to the DON being that it's too days later? Cuz I'm thinkin what if I say something and I'n return she says what made u wait two days later to question the order! So do u think I should just leave it at that. He was the on c...

So u think I should just stop over reacting and let it ride and if something would happen they would call and let me know the situation and I would explain what was said to me cuz I actually read back the order and he agreed cuz after I left she was ...

She usually gets a dose of 55 units of 70/30 and thats y I didn't really think nothing of it! But I thought about it because I'm a new nurse and I'm scared! This is my sec week

The resident is ok. Nothing us wrong! The point us I'm scared and they never called me or anything! So I'm worried! I think it takes the dr 24 hrs to sign off the order and u font know if he did it yet! Should I call one of my co workers and see if h...

Or should I call my DON I'n te morning! What should I tell her? Help plz

No I haven't told anyone! I didnt know who to talk to! I'm on days off right now! I explained the situation to my husband and he said don't u think if something was kinda fishy or if something happened to the resident they would call u cuz u were the...

When a c&s lab report comes back abnormal and the doctor ask what she is sensitive to and the nurse says macrobid. What does this mean? I didnt want to sound too stupid and ask the nurse what the Dr meant. Im a new nurse and want to be ready for ...

Thanks so much! U nailed the question for me!

GOt my results In today and passed!! Here us how I passed! I did Hurst Review only!!! No other book!!! 125 questions from the Q bank and that's it!! I didn't do thousands of questions because Hurst doesn't suggest that! Once u know ur core content wi...

What books are you using?

I studied the day before my test! Well at least not major studying. What I did was look over my lab levels signs and symptoms and tx, insulin levels, herbs, cranial nerves, and acid base signs and symptoms and tx! I think that's about it! Remember AB...

U need at least 3-5 references. I used 2 of my clinical instructors and 1 of my class room instructor because she did clinicals with us also. So go get u one more!

I would suggest doing Hurst review. You need to know your core content! Knowing ur core content you can answer any question! I was successful using Hurst Review on my first attempt! Seems like you need to change ur way of study and Hurst is the way t...

I took the hurst live review! I suggest that u take the online course because u can replay the videos over and over again and that's whats going to help you the most! What I did is tool the live review and after the live review one of my friends boug...

Thanks!!! Time for job searching!!

I loved the hurst review! They have a 98% pass rate!! The only content you need to study is the core content for hurst review because all the other review books are too overwelming with info! NCLEX wants to know what your going to do as a new nurse a...
