Let's say you have 2 offers for office RN positions. Office #1) The responsibilities/duties are not exactly what you're looking for, they include some duties you were hoping to avoid... and while those duties are fairly infrequent they will cause yo...

I accepted an RN position at a clinic that has several office sites. I will work at one, I happen to already be a patient at another. I'm now wondering if it is wise for my employer to have such handy access to my medical records... What do you thi...

The contents of my medical record might not officially be held against me, but it might be an impetus to find something else to hold against me... Or maybe I'm just paranoid too.

Yeah. I'm not feeling overly comfortable about it, but I thought everyone would come on and say, "Oh that's no big deal, our place is great, quality care, what's the problem?!" But I guess I'm not alone in being a little concerned. Last year I was ...

So if you were looking at two job offers and... Job #1) Offered the perfect position, the duties are exactly what you have been looking for BUT the environment is a concern... staff doesn't always get along, a consultant team has come in to help ev...

I was leaning towards #2 and I knew logically I should run fast from #1, but I was still thinking maybe I could make it work... you all gave me the slap upside the head I needed! I accepted #2. Thanks everyone!

I get what you're saying, rest is very important, but isn't it also very important to regularly monitor VS in a pt with a new onset CVA??

The sleep component of Tylenol PM is diphenhydramine (AKA Benadryl). If you don't need the acetaminophen, just buy generic Benadryl. It's a lot cheaper and better for you too.

YOu should look for everything they taught you or assigned you to read for this exam.

I personally don't think your time there as a student in MAY should really count. You do need more time, don't let yourself feel pressured into going on your own before you're ready.

I was offered valedictorian for the college this year. I say offered because if you refuse to make a speech in front of thousands of people they yank it away from you and give it to the next person in line. Public speaking gives me hives so I passe...

I remember that day very well. There were 9 of us and we all had that deer-in-the-headlight look about us. The instructor thought it was so funny she went and called a friend of hers from her nursing school days to reminisce about how they had felt...

I have honestly always been together and on top of everything, but nursing school has absolutely kicked my butt. I have never been more stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious on a continuous, long-term basis in my life. I'm getting ready to start my las...

It's a play on the fact that this is a DUCK, not a play on the belief that NPs are incompetent. LOL, lighten up people. There are enough things in the world about which to be offended, let's not invent them at every turn.

I'm scheduled to take my NCLEX-PN in exactly 3 weeks. I keep checking this site in between study sessions to see if you've heard yet! Everyone's pulling for you!

one more to go...

Most time consuming pre-req was A&P, pre-req I hated the most was a tie between Stats and Micro. Nursing class I've found the most difficult is definitely Pharm. And I don't get a kick out of Nurses-Eat-Their-Young courses either Retour_Divin, I...

What a bunch of jerks. Seriously. You could say something to your instructor, but would it change anything? I know it wouldn't where I'm at. I basically just take it and bide my time until graduation and a job elsewhere.

I hate it when people do this, instructors, nurses, whatever. It puts you in a rotten position. You did what I do. Stand there and listen and don't say anything disrespectful to/about either of them. Then walk away and pray this person doesn't do...

I've been in school forever. At least it seems like it. From the beginning I put myself on a part-time schedule so I would be able to adequately balance all the balls I've got tossed in the air. My family calls me the professional student and the ...

You're not wasting your time. Trust me. In fact, keep your A&P book because you will be using it as a reference when you're in nursing school. It is by far the one pre-nursing text I have reached for on a regular basis in the last year and a h...

I have a love-hate relationship with clinicals. I love my patients, I love learning, and I love doing. I love clinical instructors that are challenging and supportive. I love making a difference and hearing my patients say that they appreciated t...

Why do some nursing instructors resort to intimidation and humiliation when teaching? I have been taking college classes for years and have never before had an instructor purposefully go out of his way to make you feel like an idiot when you're lear...

Just wondering... do you mention your CDs (which most of us know you're willing to sell to us) in every post you make?? :)

Well, all I can say is that you were in an incredibly outrageous situation and I'd be ticked myself. Now watch someone come along and say "When you're in the hospital you'll be in tight situations all the time, what are you crying about?! When I w...
