    Failed NCLEX 3 times

    Jory replied to Kristy Kg's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can pass using only Saunders. Two major mistakes students make: 1. Waiting until the end of the nursing program to purchase Saunders...get it during your first semester and study as you go. 2....

    Nursing is really a dangerous profession

    Jory replied to emilygirl89's topic in General Nursing

    I would be cautious about believing the story about him not having the money to get a gun. If he can get into a residency program, if he can get a DEA license, he could go out and buy any legal...

    Injured at work with workman's comp paying medical bills and want to quit

    Jory replied to benharold1's topic in General Nursing

    Counseling a nurse without any details is counseling a nurse for a made-up, fabricated complaint. I would seek legal council immediately...and be vocal about it...that will at least protect your job...

    Well that is pushing ethical boundaries

    Jory replied to K+MgSO4's topic in General Nursing

    This is why we have the ASRM in the United States and why you don't hear of these cases in this country. This..is what medical ethics is all about. I think age 50 should absolutely be at the upper...

    Drug Seeking Patients

    Jory replied to Quinnbee's topic in General Nursing

    This is how you process it: If they are an addict, there isn't anything you are going to do during their stay that is going to curb that. It took me a long time to wrap my head around, "the hospital...

    When Police and Nurses Disagree Over Blood Draw Consent - Know What to Do

    Jory replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing News

    I agree with what is written above. If the patient is able to give consent, if they can refuse a breathalyzer they can refuse a blood draw. If the patient cannot give consent, police need a warrant...

    Post Partum VS. L&D

    Jory replied to seraphimid's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a midwife and trust me, you want L&D. Anybody can learn postpartum in a few days...it's very much like a post-op floor (whether you've had a c-section or not). Just pick up postpartum shifts...

    Background Check Reveals Arrest. Application to Sit Boards Denied

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Added note: You may have a bigger problem on your hands if this arrest happened after you became an LPN. In my state, the nurse practice act, when you apply for license renewal, if you have ever had...

    Background Check Reveals Arrest. Application to Sit Boards Denied

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There is information missing in the response. The problem is that you "assumed" the arrest was expunged. Nowhere in your answer did you SAY someone TOLD you it was expunged. This had less to do...

    Does anyone have advice for a new grad NICU nurse?

    Jory replied to Luna's topic in General Nursing

    Here are a few tips that I wished I had known as a new NICU nurse: 1. Make a list of the drugs they use and go home and research them. Know them inside and out. Don't go nuts...just make a list as...

    Does anyone have advice for a new grad NICU nurse?

    Jory replied to Luna's topic in General Nursing

    Just a couple of FYIs: The difference between a Level III and a Level IV is not so much the number of weeks gestation, but in the fact the Level IV's tend to offer ECMO. You'll almost never see ECMO...

    Legal obligation for disaster relief

    Jory replied to kardz30's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are thinking about this all wrong. This is what nursing is about. Everybody can't bail...law or no law. Do you have children? If you don't, pull on your big girl panties and stay at the...

    Does anyone have advice for a new grad NICU nurse?

    Jory replied to Luna's topic in General Nursing

    If your preceptor is telling you on Day 4 you are "too slow"...you have a bad preceptor. That's a horrible way to start. Speed takes time and the more she rattles you, the harder it is going to be...

    They almost had me fooled

    Jory replied to HaggardRN's topic in General Nursing

    Patients have the right to refuse multiple sticks and well, may want to remind them of that

    Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    Jory replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you got an evaluation from an RN who was being bullied and has little to zero experience with a student. She has decided to take it out on you. She probably sucks as a nurse and...

    pre-employment

    Jory replied to fishinRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see anything wrong with the practice. My facility, before an all-out ban, attempted the "no smoking during work hours" rule. I'll be happy to tell you how that worked out. Employees would...

    RRT on Patient for Hospice

    Jory replied to Crocsing's topic in General Nursing

    We don't call it a RRT consult, either you get a rapid response or you don't. Even a tech in the room can call for a rapid response. Hospice patients never get a rapid response called. Does your...

    Misdemeanors that are expunged

    Jory replied to kbrownie's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This highly depends on the state where you are living. A legal expungement gives you the right to not disclose the arrest nor the conviction...but....there are exceptions. I don't live in...

    Scary commute for work?

    Jory replied to Kat12340's topic in General Nursing

    I understand you wanting to stay with your parents and live rent free if you are young...try to find a job closer. 12-hour shifts are no joke and you are going to be sleep deprived to the moon and...

    Question regarding overtime

    Jory replied to Hopefulnurse1823's topic in General Nursing

    Depends....how many hours are you scheduled? Some states pay overtime if you work over 8 hours in a day. Most states only pay overtime if you work over 40 hours in a week...that is ACTUAL worked...

    Pt confidentiality

    Jory replied to Irving's topic in General Nursing

    1. I never asked you to prove anything. Not my job on here. 2. Again, HIPAA should have covered your question...it is required yearly at my job and at most facilities. 3. I never stated you...

    Pt confidentiality

    Jory replied to Irving's topic in General Nursing

    If you have really been a nurse longer than me then you should be: 1: Familiar with HIPAA guidelines. They are not hard to follow. 2: Be old enough to exercise some self-control and realize not...

    Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    Jory replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Imagine that....a contract written by a non-attorney not being enforceable. Go back and read my posts...you seem to have issues with reading comprehension. The link wasn't even in the stratosphere...
