  1. My wife is starting nursing school

    MIA-RN1 replied to realitybias's topic in General Nursing

    Many hospitals pay for nurses to acheive higher level degrees. For example, I just graduated from ADN program and the hospital I just started working for will finance pretty much my entire continuing...

  2. Shaky Hands

    MIA-RN1 replied to Carla25's topic in General Students

    some people have an intentional tremor (Someone please correct me if its supposed to be 'intention tremor') I worked with an excellent NP who had this and she just learned to deal with it. She said...

  3. How about your favorite Old Wives Tales related to health?

    MIA-RN1 replied to NurseyTonyaLPN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I had a patient who came in and said she feels fine but her mother had "the fish dream" this was said with great solemnity (is that a word? lol) Anyway, she said because of the dream, her mother told...

  4. But How Do You Know?

    MIA-RN1 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    thanks to all who posted about the mandated reporting. As a new nurse, I am finding out that my school just didn't cover everything! We talked about children and the elderly but they did not specify...

  5. But How Do You Know?

    MIA-RN1 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Right if you had absolute proof you can call the police but with domestic violence we are not mandated reporters. I guess its one for the ethics committee. If a woman comes in beat up by her husband...

  6. Bored or scared...Maybe Both

    MIA-RN1 replied to Shastalee99's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I went thru a similar couple weeks when school ended. I started orientation yesterday. The support I am receiving from the hospital in terms of training is really wonderful and I have not met any...

  7. What is "orientation?"

    MIA-RN1 replied to epg_pei's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I started my orientation yesterday. First it was for all new employees and went over general hospital policies/procedures (8 looooonnngg hours) Today it was clinical staff only (nurses and techs) and...

  8. But How Do You Know?

    MIA-RN1 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught in school that we are only mandated reporters for children. Its not the same requirement for adults, so if you were to call the police, it could be construed as a HIPAA

  9. How long does it take to get ATT for NCLEX

    MIA-RN1 replied to manurse06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Does anyone know the waiting time when you register w/ Pearsonvue via their online registration? I did it

  10. pain management after surgery

    MIA-RN1 replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Nursing

    I am not familiar with all the meds but did you try any non-pharmacological routes such as guided imagery or progressive relaxation? I'd go that route if the max doses of meds aren't

  11. Please help me-I have no idea what to do

    MIA-RN1 replied to mdrkan's topic in General Nursing

    Contact your state BON for the legalities, print out their answer and keep it at work with you. If they say that its a threat to your license, then show your boss. If they say its okay, demand...

  12. Wait...should I have applied at Pearson Vue too??

    MIA-RN1 replied to babynurse06's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Suzanne, to clarify if I understand you. I sent in my appl. for limited permit and my appl. for first licensure and they received it at the NYS BON either today or yesterday. Does that mean that I can...

  13. Unit Secretary interview-advice?

    MIA-RN1 replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    I think that as long as you dress professionally you will be taken seriously. Wear a suit if you have one. I look very young and always just try to dress according to my age vs my appearance. ALso,...

  14. Help with an annoying classmate

    MIA-RN1 replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe say something like "wow, you seem like you've taken this class before!" (a subtle remark on that if she took it before she probably failed or else she wouldn't be there again) Or ask her if she...

    MIA-RN1 replied to MIA-RN1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    the fingerprint must be state to state because we don't have to do that. They said that we get fingerprinted when we go to take the test. We did have to send out the application with a passport photo...

    MIA-RN1 replied to MIA-RN1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    oh see we couldn't send ANYTHING out until 5/30 (our official grad date). I suppose we could have done it earlier but the department told us not to. I don't know what FBI form....Yesterday I sent in...

  19. question for all of you who made it

    MIA-RN1 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Plan your time---write it down, keep a calender posted on the fridge or in a central area. Invest in pens that are comfortable to grip and write with. Invest in a good pair of shoes. Benadryl works...
