Congratulations to you. i am suppose to take the ATI comprehensive predictor for the second time. Is there any advice you can give me in passing the exit?

Which Nclex book do you suggest? Thank you for responding SunShine

Employers should not say negative things about you unless it was true and documented. Most laws protect the employer from civil litigation, not you the employee if they violate it. The next issue is, did the person who gave the reference violate company policy when saying something about you? More than likely, your employment references aren’t following company policy or state law when giving out information. The fastest way to cure a former supervisor giving you a bad reference would be to contact the Human Resource department and ask them to verify the company policy on reference checks. Most Human Resource departments will tell you they verify your dates of employment, title, confirm ending salary. Ask them how they would handle a supervisor in the company that is deviating from the company policy. Depending on what is being said, it might be best for you to take this information to a local attorney and get a legal opinion on your case. Most companies don't give references checks for this matter. Before nursing I was in the banking/corporate world for 12 1/2 years, we did not give reference checks and had a polocy stating such. All employee verification goes straight to HR. At my nursing job now, its the same way.

Ok...So I'm not an RN yet! I'm an LVN and currently in school to get my RN! I am reading and listening to of what is being said! You'll are making me think "Do I really want to go work in a hospital?" I work in 2 different skilled nursing homes on the skilled units one with 26:1 (8 hour shifts with a med aide) ratio and the other with a 14-20:ratio (12 hour shifts with no med aide)! I thought I had it bad...reading what type of patients you have, that is a bit much! Its not the patient care that you'll have me worried about, its the poor practice of the hire ups that concerns me. I have never been the one to go with the crowd or the flow so that would not work for me...I prefer to do what is right by my patients. Is this what I have to look forward to? I have walked out on a job before and just didn't put it on my application or resume when I applied to other jobs, since I was not there that long. As for Gostwindrider; if you know that you left because it put your patients and license at risk and that supervisor is making it hard for you to get another nursing job, then you are within your rights to sue for defamation of character. They are not allowed to give any info besides verification of employment and if you are eligible for rehire.

Good evening! I am attending Lamar Port Arthur online and currently taking RNSG 1423 & 1260. Can someone please give me some guidance with these to classes. Especially 1423! [email protected]

Hello Kelly! I would suggest that you try to get your foot in the door of a hospital first then work your way to NICU. You are right it is difficult from what I here as a new grad to get a job in the hospital setting but you have to keep plugging in until you get in. Also, look into if there are any type of particular certifications you may need to work with babies. Good Luck
