    Naturalist replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Lorraine, I’m sorry you’ve been met with so much hostility here. I also work Med-Onc and I am not vaccinated. I am appalled at the amount of ignorance and name-calling in this forum,...

  2. California att

    Naturalist replied to blueskies1's topic in California Nursing

    My check was cashed in November and I didn't get ATT until late February, took NCLEX mid March, then almost 3-week wait for results. Ugh! I figured by now the BRN had the kinks worked

  4. Job hunt roller coaster, mixed signals, rejections. AN, managers too, please advise!!

    Naturalist posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hello there, fellow RNs, Hopefully this doesn't come out as too much of rant but I am so discouraged with the job hunt I've had 3 interviews and 2 rejections, and pretty sure #3 will be a no-go as...

  9. If you like your health insurance, you can keep it your insurance. Period

    Naturalist replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think LearningByMistakes made that comment in defense of free-market healthcare, not single-payer Obamacare (tho that would be better than the present ACA...???). If I am wrong, then I stand alone....

  10. Students, RNs and medication admin - Is this crossing boundaries?

    Naturalist replied to Apples&Oranges's topic in Patient Medications

    Yes, it would be presumptuous of you to expect to give meds without your instructor as a first semester nursing student. A staff nurse will supervise you in order to establish competency, as your...

  11. Ascorbic and a 1 year old

    Naturalist replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in Patient Medications

    I see the seriousness of needing to give the correct dose, and orders for "x" mLs should not be acceptable without knowing the concentration (which you did: 100mg/5mL). So you just do the math, as...

    Silverlight, how do your classmates get away with missing class in nursing school? At my CC the BRN monitors attendance closely. If we have to miss a class we must inform our instructor beforehand,...
