I work full time 40/hrs at an acute care setting in a nursing home. I applied at the same time to another facility, but they only had PRN. I agreed to take both jobs in case I didn't like the other. Here's the thing, at my full time job I have every ...

I'm a new *new* nurse, fresh out of school. Just passed my boards in march. This is also my first job. Ever. I work the 7a-3p shift in a nursing home. We have a front and back hall. I'm in the back hall. It's not as busy as the front. I've done ...

"Beta Blockers are contraindicated in asthma patients because beta-blockers block the adrenergic impulses to the bronchial tree that cause bronchodilation resulting in increased bronchoconstriction." I know the danger behind it, but i'm not understa...

I'm sad to admit I have been terminated from my job today. I also regret to say that this is my second termination. My question is, where in the Nursing practice act can I find information about the amount of times you can be terminated as a nurse be...

thank you everyone. i can't say exactly what got me terminated but what i can say is that it was a reoccurring problem; i didn't show any signs of improvement on my part and i will definitely take this as a learning experience and do all i can so i d...

Above is a list i put together to help me understand what an RN, an LPN/LVN, and a UAP/CNA can do. I've been pretty good with delegation so far. Now I'm starting to see different kinds of RNs and LPNs and it's throwing me off. I know that RNs floatin...

While searching for jobs, i applied to multiple facilities. i was hired by one facility that offered a full time 3-11 RN position. and another job i applied to offered a PRN job. how do i handle this? what happens if the PRN job calls me in when i wo...

Dang. the nurses at my work play dirty. omg I'd been having a terrible week at work this past week. I'm an RN at a nursing home. There were signs that show I may be terminated any day. So i wrote up a resignation letter that I planned on giving to my...

I'm a new RN (since March 2013) working in a nursing home. We;re in our window and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I know for sure they'll watch me do a med pass. I already have a patient in mind. But I also have three G-Tubes and two Trach...

I wanna buy the Nike Fuel Band (http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA512VC/A/nike-fuelband-small) for workouts. But seeing as I'm a nurse, i wanna know how much calories im burning walking around the nursing home i work in. Given that I eat healthy du...

I heard (and I'm scared to know) that Florida has one of the hardest RN state boards. Is this true? I was almost finalizing my ATT when this thought came into my head. And so my deadline has been pushed back because now I have to research which state...

Dude, same here! I know you're supposed to leave work at the door and vice versa, but when I get home, I can't help but think, who should I give meeds out to first and in what order? ANYTHING can happen during med pass. one of the LPNs told me to act...

I'm a new nurse!! I passed my RN boards this March and I got a full time job at a nursing home. Last friday was my first day of orientation. I wanted to get back into my workout schedule in the months I wasn't working (which i did). I usually run 3...

I know that: RNs take care of the most unstable acute or chronic client. (Assess, Teach, Eval) LPNs should care for chronic, stable patients. (pass meds, gather data, reinforce teaching) UAPs/CNAs can care for stable patients. (standard routine care,...

He took his RN Boards this morning. 200+Q and he ran out of time. He was so down and confused. My poor baby. But he did the PVT while I was on the phone and he's like "what's this? It says our records indicate you have already registered.." I WAS SCR...

Btw @mrabbz is my boo aka boyfriend. So yay him!! (:

I took a review class where we review anatomy&physiology. all the diseases we came across in each system, we looked up the treatment. and i learned meds that way: by the systems. another way i learned meds was through doing questions. EVERY time ...

sign in to your Pearsonvue account. act like you're registering for the exam. enter in all the info. right after you specify which state boards you're taking, click NEXT and one of two things will happen: the GOOD POP UP or the credit card page. the ...

Don't worry if the NCLEX is harder than kaplan or vice versa... Just keep doing questions and understand the thinking to get to the right answer. The decision tree helps with the "who do you see first" questions. infection control and room assignm...

My auntie's classmate knew my auntie passed her RN Boards before she even saw her results. Apparently, her classmate searched her name somewhere. Does anyone know this? What's the website? Isn't this a HIPAA violation?! lol If it is true, that's not...

Took the test Mar 20. Official results, Mar 22. License number is on the Florida BON website. But when do I get my license in the mail? thnx!
