    PCU or Neuro units?

    Lev replied to Nurse_Bella's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you'd better wait for your interview on PCU to make that assessment. New grads can succeed in PCU. What is the ratio

    New grad training-typical?

    Lev replied to dannygirl04's topic in General Nursing

    Being let go during orientation in ICU

    Lev replied to hyed's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are so right. It is a lesson to be learned by all. Start sending out those apps and let us know what comes your way. You probably still qualify for new grad residency programs at some hospitals....

    New Nurse New Problems

    Lev replied to ca.as.lvn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree. Contact the state board of nursing about that CNA and contact the appropriate authorities about that director who should be jailed in my opinion. Make sure to write down everything now...

    Med surg supplement book

    Lev replied to mnicolette's topic in General Students

    The only problem is that the CPR chapter is not up to date with CAB vs ABC. I didn't use the CD much so I can't have an opinion on that, but content was otherwise

    Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

    Lev replied to abbypoo's topic in General Nursing

    I use MR. It's a quick, easy, and clinical abbreviation. I don't use retarded to describe anything unless I'm talking about someone's

    Lev replied to hyed's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is this a wise career move?

    Lev replied to thinwildmercury's topic in First Year After Licensure
