We have to chart atleast every hour. If the pt is suicidal we have to chart every 15 mins. We do not have to chart why we are giving the meds though

Try walmart, belk, target, dillards, etc. I don't know what is in your area, but any of these will have nude bras or cami's. Personally, I wear white cami's or a white t-shirt under all my white scrub tops. Also, good luck in your class.

If you move to the Winston Salem area, there are several surrounding counties with wonderful EMS systems. He would have no problem getting a job. I am going to send you a private message of a broker I know personally and he will help you find any kin...

I am an ER RN and married to a police officer. I think it is funny there is a forum about this. I see alot more nurses married to paramedics than police officers where i am from. Yes we did meet in the ER. LOL

Thanks larry, I couldn't have said that any better myself. Both places have a difficult and demanding job.

We get $25.00 gift certificate to either Walmart, the local mall, or a local grocery store. Our choice. 3 years ago, the ER docs all gave us a $50.00 gift certificate to Walmart. That was the only time they have done that.

I am sooo sorry this happened to you. I just want to tell you a secret. I know I can't give medical advice but let me share something with you. When I was 15 I started having problems with my HR going up to 180-200s. I went to my PCP who accused me ...

I am an ER nurse just lurking on the OB tread, but I took orders from an Ortho doc the other night and he wrote for "complete bath with strict pericare daily". I asked why and he said it wasn't being done like he wanted. He then said he wanted all of...

I am 23 weeks pregnant and an ER nurse. Welcome to the club!!! I have been told to stay away from chicken pox, shingles, meningitis, and nuclear medicine pts. I am sure there is more. I am interested in knowing this also, maybe someone else can chime...

Nevermind, it don't matter.

Do you have a due date yet? Mine is March 18th, 2007.

I swear by Crocs. They are the best. Best of luck.

Congrats!!! I am due March 21st. As far as the benefits go, every hospital is different in this area. When I first started at the one I work at now, your benefits started immediately. They changed last year to a 3 month waiting period. I work PRN at...

I don't think I would use the family as a chaperone. It will make them, patient, and me uncomfortable. What if the family claimed something inappropriate and they was the only witness? I see that being a really touchy subject. It is best to just have...

Where I work, there is always a female assistant (either Tech or Rn) with all pelvics and rectals on females. It is for the pt's comfort and the Md's protection. In this day and age, you can't be too careful. The MD's (I work with all males) will do ...

Does he have a way to contact you? If so, maybe he will. What does your policy at work and the BON state. Make sure you look at both of these. Also, you could accept the invitation and go out as friends. Make that plain and clear to him. If anything ...

LOL....I hope Dr Phil or a nursing magazine editor don't read that.......LOL

I like that one! Sounds helpful, promising, and not to "cute"

2 days....pearsonvue..... still hven't gotten my offical license card

Does anyone know how often the North Carolina Board of Nursing updates their website? I think it is once a day, but I need to be able to print off my certificate number and take it to work. I was just curious.

I know I don't post on here often, but I have to share with everyone. I just found out I PASSED my RN NCLEX. YES!!! I was and still an LPN. Have been since Jan. 2003. I graduated with my ADN in May 10, 2006. I tested May 22nd and found out today I ...

Gosh now I think i'm moving!!!!

I have 3 1/2 years LPN experience in an ER. I am a jack of all trades, master of none. I think it helped me to no end working as an LPN. The hardest part was remembering my BON allows things that aren't allowed on NCLEX for LPN's.

Well where required to do Kaplan through the school. that is all I done, I did even look at any questions afterwards. Like a previous poster said, it is basic entry nursing.

Maybe it is different per state, but well where told in March to apply to the North Carolina Board of Nursing and to Pearson-Vue. My ATT came on the 20th, I tested on the 22nd, and got my results today.
