Wow, this is wonderful information! Thank you so much!

That makes sense. Thank you so much for your comment.

Rewards work best from the very young to the very old. Whatever you do give out "gifts" for participation. This might seem like bribing but it works the best. This will get everyone motivated (especially) if the rewards are wrapped or hidden. I would suggest candy, items from the dollar store or everyday tools for the nursing environment. This will get everyone up and moving. You don't have to spend a fortune, but it will spark the inner child of many and that is always fun.:)

I just joined so I'm brand new to this and apologize if this topic was already discussed in detail. I was hired for an RN position and relocating to Texas. I'm assuming I will have a med test during orientation, but have not had one in 7yrs. I passed my boards without a problem and passed the med test 7yrs ago at my first hospital, but that seems like a long time ago. I hate to be negative but what happens if I don't pass the med portion of the orientation? Has that happened to anyone? I hate to relocate and get an apartment with the possiblity of not being able to start working. I also don't want to ask HR. I have been brushing up on past nursing books but my start date is quickly approaching. Thanks
