    #NurseB replied to Elan84's topic in General Nursing

    So much negativity and assumptions being thrown out here. I also can't believe some of you have time to look up old posts and use them against the OP. This is exactly what I can't stand about this...

    #NurseB replied to live2nursebetter's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine took less than 48 hours and my classmate took 1 month to have results posted. Too bad CA doesn't issue quick results like other states. Here I thought 48 hours was

  6. Forced to resign, new grad with only 1 year of experinece.

    #NurseB replied to Elan84's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see a pattern. I see a fairly new nurse with very little experience and instruction. I am in the ER OP and I can relate. It gets busy and you are still new and learning. No 2 patients are the...

    #NurseB replied to canurses's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had a friend of mine that graduated recently that took a month for hers to show up on BON site. She however; got the good pop up from PV. As I understand it, with the good pop up, you don't have to...

  8. Please help! IP has been cancelled, no update on license. What does this mean?

    #NurseB replied to sfgiantsfan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My IP got canceled when I tested and I also freaked out. Like someone else said, it just means they got notification that you tested. My license was posted not even 48 hours later. I am also in Cali...

  9. New Nurse Mistakes

    #NurseB replied to Mabesma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    #NurseB replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your post. I myself just signed a full-time position with my employer which would mean I can now start saving and contributing to a 401k. As for your comment about waiting until you are...

  12. I need to vent :(

    #NurseB replied to RN.amour's topic in General Nursing

    You have expressed a lot of my same concerns being a new ER nurse. I get anxious on my days off just thinking about going back to work. I absolutely love it and love the people but my lack of...

  13. Somebody Knock Some Sense Into Me

    #NurseB replied to lilgop's topic in General Students

    I gained wait in nursing program also. I've now been on the floor about 6 months and have gained a little more weight. I'm not overweight but I am definitely out of my comfort zone. I'll be...

  14. IV pushes

    #NurseB posted a topic in Patient Medications

    I'm just wondering how you all do your IV pushes. I'm a new nurse and spend a great amount of time doing 2-3 minute pushes for my meds as I have been taught. I worked with a new nurse today that told...

  15. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    #NurseB replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    I agree. I was hired at the facility I interned with and so was over half my class. I know that one student was not chosen because they had tattoos showing on a clinical day (against hospital policy)...

  17. Dealing with drug seekers without alienating them

    #NurseB replied to Secel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Same here. I was taught a patients pain is what they say it is and unless they are hypotension and risks outweigh benefits, you treat their pain. The scale comment was funny to me. I've always...

    #NurseB replied to CTnewgrad826's topic in General Nursing

    ED nurse here... Sheesh! First, let me just say this post doesn't differ from what I experience every day at work. It seems us ED nurses are always at odds with the other floors. I personally send...

    #NurseB replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Seems like a very far stretch. They have much more to worry

  20. Do I really need to study for teas

    #NurseB replied to ilovescience's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You make a valid point. TEAS scores are sometimes used to get you into a program. Our school had a separate lottery for those that scored

  21. Do you lie when they ask, "how long?"

    #NurseB replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have the same issue. Some will tell me a look too young and others just simply ask. I've only been an RN for a few months so I'm uncomfortable saying "9 months." What I usually say is that I was in...

    #NurseB posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am filing taxes as a nurse for the first time this year and since tax time is quickly approaching I am wondering if anyone can provide input on what can be deducted. I have an idea of the basics but...

    #NurseB replied to ilovescience's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    So here is the thing you need to keep in mind... I know a girl that didn't study because she wanted to see if she could pass it and if she didn't, well no big deal because she could take it again...
