    Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    NurseGirl525 replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think Employee Health should have contacted HR. I've reread this and can somebody show me the quote where her offer was rescinded? I'm not seeing that. I take a substance that shows up. I...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Anon101's topic in General Students

    NurseGirl525 replied to Monkey Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    minimum staffing and lunch breaks - enemies??

    NurseGirl525 replied to wisconurse16's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm not understanding. Take your break. Why is it your problem they understand? Seriously? You are entitled to a break. Take it. If you don't, that encourages the culture to understaff....

    Pregnancy and birth

    NurseGirl525 replied to Lakielake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are they hiring ASN nurses or BSN nurses? Nobody is trying to make you feel incompetent. But there is a miscommunication problem which is why I encouraged you to do research. People refer to an ASN...

    Pregnancy and birth

    NurseGirl525 replied to Lakielake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, ASN programs require prereqs. Mine required 3 semesters worth. An ASN is an Associate's in Nursing which allows you to sit for the NCLEX-RN. The exact same that a BSN allows you to sit for. A...

    Pregnancy and birth

    NurseGirl525 replied to Lakielake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, they are telling you to get an ASN? Your posts are confusing. OP, you need to do some actual research on degrees and what is hired in your area. The difference in degrees, what it takes to...

    Pregnancy and birth

    NurseGirl525 replied to Lakielake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the community college is wanting you to get a prenursing associates degree which they are telling you will take 3 years and then apply to a BSN program which is two. No, no, no!! I don't...

    NurseGirl525 replied to RNlmbhb's topic in Patient Medications

    We use it for our vented patients as well. There is a whole protocol in place as well with it. We don't keep them sedated any longer than they need to be. Most get a sedated vacation each day as they...

    Using Hand Sanitizers - Is a squirt and go method enough?

    NurseGirl525 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    We have policies for certain things we have to wash for. Like, physically wash our hands. For the most part, it's foam in and out though. I hate that honestly. The alcohol foam leaves a film on my...

    How was nursing school?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Ruth V.'s topic in General Nursing

    What to expect in taking the NCLEX for the first time?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Kenneth H.'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This would probably be better answered in the NCLEX forum. There's not really anything to tell you to expect as everyone gets a different test. Expect to feel that you failed. Expect to feel you...
