  1. Patient safety and narcotics

    ivikatasha replied to jay082's topic in General Nursing

    As others and I have mentioned in this thread. No its not. State BONs do not have in their regulations how long a narcotic can be on a person, that is determined by facility policy. Which, as shown in...

  2. Patient safety and narcotics

    ivikatasha replied to jay082's topic in General Nursing

    Not at my facility. If I had to immediately run back to the omni-cell every time a pt refused a narcotic or I had to hold a narcotic for some reason I would never get anything done. I work on a trauma...

  4. get fired?

    ivikatasha replied to bellefleur's topic in General Nursing

    I seriously doubt you would get fired for a single fall without injury. Perhaps she is calling you in to speak about fall prevention? In my hospital we have a fall score, certain numbers have certain...

    ivikatasha replied to annieboo444's topic in General Nursing

  6. Do you "tell" Facebook where you work?

    ivikatasha replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps I am the exception to the rule but Facebook has allowed me to connect with long lost family members and friends in different countries, (was not born in the USA). Planning a trip to England to...

  7. Thank you!

    ivikatasha posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    So I had my first day on the floor yesterday as a new grad. I am on a step-down trauma, burn, and epilepsy unit. All the staff on the unit were so kind and helpful. They kept asking me if I needed...

    ivikatasha replied to mlynch21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  15. NCLEX tomorrow

    ivikatasha replied to ivikatasha's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nursing school is what you make it. For me it was not nearly as hard as all the horror stories on here. Sure it is different but just try different methods of studying till you find one that works for...

  17. To study or not to study????

    ivikatasha replied to rubato's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I do not know what state you are in, but the state of Virginia does post the numbers, perhaps your state does too. The class just before me had 18/20 pass and before that 17/17. Check your state board...

  19. To study or not to study????

    ivikatasha replied to rubato's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't plan on studying. I didn't study for many tests in nursing school and made A's, never studied for HESI and made above 1000. Some people have said "don't compare HESI!" in here but I am...

  20. Flu shots as a student anyone?

    ivikatasha replied to Mrs.RNindeed's topic in General Students

    I used to never get the flu shot. Then I got the flu once and it was horrible, had to miss a lot of class. So glad that happened before I entered nursing school, miss more than 1 day and you fail the...

    ivikatasha replied to Nursing2102's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
