I utilized Hurst and passed NCLEX. Was it beneficial? Who knows. I used so many resources to prepare for boards that it was probably just the combination of all of them that helped me. The key for me was doing questions. I probably did over 5000 ques...

Some facilities do not like when people just walk in. You might call human resources or reach out to nurse managers via e-mail regarding your application or resume. If it seems to be a technical issue with receiving your application you might call hu...

This is correct. You are not a Registered Nurse until you take and pass NCLEX. Completing a Diploma, ADN, or BSN program that is accredited allows you to sit and take NCLEX. You can practice as a GN with a temporary permit, but, ultimately to work as...

Working Ortho you will commonly see meds such as Toradol, narcotic pain medications PO and IV, Lovenox & Heparin (SubQ), IV steroids, and IV antibiotics. The best way to brush up for me personally has been to grab a drug book and review meds I e...

In CA you would do well with a BSN especially if you are hoping to work in the hospital setting. Again look at hospital websites for their employment preferences and requirements or speak to a nurse recruiter.

allheart.com. They have everything.

You should also consider the requirements of the hospitals around you. Some require a BSN, in this case you would want to go straight for it instead of prolonging your job search.

I would try reaching out to recruiters and human resources first. I have had positive experiences by reaching out to actual humans in regards to the application process. I also had a few negative experiences, so it just seems to vary from facility to...

I believe you did the right thing. Don't be so hard on yourself. Moaning, agitation, facial grimacing, all can indicate pain and would warrant the PRN pain medication if safe to give. Even though you are no longer assigned a mentor there must be a ...

Not sure if they can but even if it is ordered we have our own nursing judgement. Like with anything if I feel it isn't safe I am not just going to blindly follow. The only time I have ever seen something like this though was on a hospice floor and ...

In the future "I would be happy to speak with CT regarding our patient, but, first you need to adjust your tone" should do. You do not have to respond to anyone's nonsense as nobody has the right to speak this way to you.

I highly doubt you will lose your license over this. Unfortunately, none of us can give you a certain answer on what is going to happen. Go to the meeting and explain what happened and be sure to let your manager (or whoever you are meeting with) kn...
