    Am I Being Bullied?

    This. The most you can do is remain professional; it sounds as if you respect her for being your preceptor and that is a far as it's should go-trying to "friend" a preceptor sounds more like a social...

    Is anyone else bothered by this? You should be

    I don't get it... A licensed nurse is still given time to get CEU's; if I've us a prudent nurse who is always on top if learning, this is really a non-issue; if they go from one state with no CEUs to...
  4. Since we are not present in your professional work, I can not say why you are not in Stepdown; I would ask for a meeting with the educator again to outline what aspects they found concerning, come up...

    Still don't get the BSN ADN thing...

    I didn't take art; but I agree; my general ed classes were tailored to benefit nursing. The wonderful thing about college is you can pick your classes to BENEFIT YOUR EDUCATION; so, you don't want...

    BSN programs are harder than ADN

    True, but that's due to state and federal requirements based on educational standards; it has no bearing on perceived "difficulty". I choose the BSN for personal reasons; it didn't make sense to me to...

    Years since highschool, PAX RN

    As far as the PAX is concerned; study the PAX book from cover to cover and that should help; it covers the science that is required on the test, as well as math, English, etc that will be on the test....

    Case Study #3

    Possible ETOH withdrawal? Poly pharmacy issues? O2 is a priority; anticipate possible seizure activity, so make sure rails are padded, etc. Fluids-a banana bag (if applicable)-I'm suspect ETOH...

    Giving Notice?

    You letter sounds fine. I agree with MrChicagoRN; I took my letter to the DON and handed to her personally. Best thing I ever

    What's $500 dollar NCLEX RN question?

    I used the NCSBN three week course, as well as several sources for different questions in order to cover any possible question that could come up: LaCharity PharmPhlash cards for general review of...

    Is anyone else bothered by this? You should be

    Not concerned at all...but then again, I have always completed CEUs, even when it wasn't required when I was a LPN (the BON is still ironing out whether LPNs are going to need required CEUs), so it's...

    My school says to only buy books from their bookstore...

    If some of the titles are "Recommended Reading" material, yes, get those from Amazon, etc; otherwise wait for the "boot camp", investigate what the packages look like, and if codes can be bought...
