  1. I found out today that I will be starting with the new group of interns in September at LVHN. Are there any others starting? I forgot to ask if there is differential pay for nightshift since that seems to be the shift available. Also, has anyone gone...
  2. New RN medication assessment

    So, I'm now hired and find out that the first week of orientation will include an adult and pediatric medication administration assessment where I have to pass 80%. Does anyone else have to do the same and what resources do you have available to help...
  3. New RN medication assessment

    Thanks so much for the information. I decided to follow the Kaplan Pharm section which is alot but I have 3 weeks so I should be prepared by that time. Thanks again
  4. New RN medication assessment

    @Esme12 That was a funny link. I actually did the research before I post my comment. I know alot of people post on this site without actually committing to the work behind it. Thanks all, I think I will just do what I started to do which is to review...
  5. New RN medication assessment

    Thanks, meandragonbrett, as I said in my post, I am very fine with assessments. My concern was if there has been anything used in the past to prepare for these assessments. Thanks for your comment. :)

    I liked the play "frankly my dear" hilarious
  8. Obese children...my rant

    Wow, thanks for the story. Sorry I'm late but this sounds so sad. All preventable. Poor kid
  9. I started to see that requirement and talked to some of my instructors who smoked. Where I live my state is an at will employer/employee state so in essence these practices are allowed. I am still debating whether it is right. BTW, I don't smoke and ...
  10. Starting Salary [new grad]?

    I see the salaries in the different states but also wonder if anyone has thought about cost of living in those areas i.e the Californian coast. In am in suburbs of Philadelphia, new grad starting salary $23 although others pay more but the benefits a...
  11. I read this to my husband, he laughed out loud. We chose ONE.
  12. New RN medication assessment

    Great! so I'm not sure if this has been asked before but I will ask now. I worked hard in school, studied hard for the nclex ( thank god I passed on first try) and I thought I was basically done with the exams I've seen before for a little bit. Yes, ...
  13. Tired of Hearing the One Year Experience Required Line!!

    I also agree. I graduated from nursing school in May and started my job search end of January starting my last semester because my classmates all were going crazy about the job hunt. I was one of those people who assumed that they were too paranoid b...
  14. Hi guys, Thanks so much for the replies. Actually, I received the official paperwork and they said evening and night diff is .75cents. I guess an extra quarter but just wanted to update. @RoamFreeRN are you still working at the hospital? I just went ...
  15. SO mad...and not sure I should be.

    To also note, many may find that telling hey I'm in an incestual relationship so me and baby daddy decided to get rid of it may be too forward. I don't know of many abuse victims who a) are able to get an abortion b) tell you that they are pregnant b...
  16. SO mad...and not sure I should be.

    "In cases of rape, incest, extreme youth, maternal danger, or a known fetal condition" Without knowing can you rule out that its not any of the above as her reasoning for terminating the pregnancy? All of those scenarios can be explained into your ca...
  17. Life as a minority in nursing

    Wow. I agree with you 100% kjlewis76. Its amazing to see how many people are writing about whether they are or are not privileged. Who gets what scholarships? Affirmative Action? The number 1 benefactors of affirmative action is Caucasian females. W...
  18. Not many Black/African American nurses working in the ICU's

    I agree with you there. I'm not sure where the other commentor was going with this but I have two scenarios to share with you. 1) I am a minority and s the former president of a student group, I made sure to have my best friend who is white as my vic...
  19. Not many Black/African American nurses working in the ICU's

    As a new minority nurse who attended a fairly academically challenging nursing school in a predominately minority city, I found myself always in the race bias dilemma. I was in a class of 150 and maybe 6 AA, with a handful of asians who at my school ...
