Interviewed the Monday before my graduation, got a job offer 2 days later and it was my "dream job". Took NCLEX over a month later. Most people in my class (probably about 90%) had jobs before...
I could not agree more! Everyone deserves your respect, but not everybody deserves your trust. To the OP, this sounds like an assertiveness problem. If it's time to go on your break, you better speak...
I don't really have any advice to give you, but I just want you to know that you are not alone and I think that is completely normal. I was always SO prepared for check offs, and no matter how much I...
Uhh I didn't realize that the purpose of nurse-to-nurse handoff was to make the oncoming nurse an expert on the pt. I don't know about you, but even if I receive what I consider to be a "good" report,...
I would rather work a 12 than an 8 any day! That 4 extra hours goes a long way - you have a lot more time to get stuff done. I'm not sure where you're from, but I have to drive through a big city to...
I was told by some people to start in med surg, and others to start in ICU. I was offered a position on a med surg floor and in an ICU, and I took the ICU job without a second thought. If you're...

I would definitely continue! Since it's only you're first semester you still have the rest of nursing school to get your GPA up. I think at this point you should just focus on getting your GPA above a...
I mean, while it's not an ideally worded order and not an order I've necessarily seen written before, it makes sense to me, especially considering the pt's history. I'm assuming if this is PRN the pt...
I would do what the previous poster said - grab another bag of maintenance fluid, squeeze the chamber, and back prime. And I would probably set VTBI to like 30-40 so I have time to grab another
Why isn't the nurse worried about it? That is a lot of lasix, but maybe she knows something you don't know (like the pt's K+ level) or like a previous poster said, has orders for prn lyte replacement...

Unless they change things up before the july residency, ER and all the ICUs are together for the residency classes, so I'm sure ya'll will see quite a bit of each
