  2. Your Worst Mistake

    *PICURN* replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    You guys don't have to double check insulins w/another RN? I know in nursing school we were told that even as RN's we have to double check insulins w/another RN....I think heparin as well? You should...

    *PICURN* replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think your instructor is referring to not letting the IV "run dry"....change it before it completely runs

  5. Can new grads get a 7a-3p shift?

    *PICURN* replied to akissbytheseine's topic in General Nursing

    I agree some of these posts are jumping down the original poster's back!!!!! She is considering nursing school, but is concerned about having to work night shift.....SO WHAT! There are plenty of new...

  8. Graduate Nurses In California?

    *PICURN* replied to BlaqButterflyy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    you can work w/o a license if you have an interim permit... but if you took NCLEX, and failed, your IP is invalid so i can't see you being able to work as a graduate nurse (new grad) w/o passing your...

  10. NCLEX Prep - Live Course vs. Online Course

    *PICURN* replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    I took the Kaplan course online, and I thought it was great. I could study whenever I had time to. Of course you have to be disciplined enough to study on your own....I found the online course to be...

    *PICURN* replied to anxious hopefull RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  13. What about speciality areas right out of school?

    *PICURN* replied to sstromberg's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with llg..... Unless you plan on working med-surg for years....I wouldn't. If you know what specialty you want, then go for that. I think med-surg is for people who don't know what they want...

  14. Relocating to Los Angeles

    *PICURN* replied to cassieopea2193's topic in California Nursing

    I agree UCLA is a great hospital! Santa Monica and the Westwood area is pretty expensive to live since it is so close to the hospital/college.....but Culver City or Marina Del Rey wouldn't be as bad....

  16. Nclex Tomorrow! 2/17/05

    *PICURN* replied to *PICURN*'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  19. Where do you look for job postings?

    *PICURN* replied to newgrad2005's topic in California Nursing

    You can go to whatever hospital you are interested in, thats the best way I think. Every hospital is looking for nurses, I would go there and see what each one has to offer, take a tour, etc. If that...
