Kaplan helps but you need to study from a few different books.. I used Hurst Reviews, Exam Cram PN and Kaplan. The more questions you do the more knowledge you will get. You need to dedicate at least 2 hrs of study time everyday. Don't give up, you ...

Is it legal for a nurse to go into patient's medication orders (in the computer) and modified them or add more medications under the doctor's name if verbally order by the doctor? I just do not feel comfortable doing this because I feel like I am ord...

I know how it feels! I am so hard on myself anytime I make one.. but unfortunately we will make more in the future even thought we try so hard not to because we are humans.. as simple as that.. Take a deep breath, go out distract yourself from it..

Let him talk.. he won't last.

I am a new nurse, so I do not know "how we functioned before"... thanks for the feedback

they are all verbal... just some of the doctors are a little lazy to modified or added medicines by themselves

by klone "When you say you are going into the patient's record and "ordering them under the doctor's name" - are you actually logging into the system under the doctor's username? Or your own?" Hi Klone, yes I am under my username not the...

thank you all for the feedback I do love nursing but It still feel so stressful and demanding at times.. I wish I could expend more time with each patient instead of having to rush because I have to chart so much and other stuff..

I agree with you Soldier nurse ! I am sure it depends on the environment we all work at.. I in my own case my job can be very stressful and sometimes makes me wounder if I could ever love nursing the way I thought I would..

I had palpitations and nausea throughout the whole nursing school, never got really sick.You'll get used to feeling this way though lol

((HUGS)) you are not alone, I go home everyday thinking that I have forgotten to chart something or that I did something wrong. Nursing is stressful specially when you already have anxiety problems. You need to try to find a hobby that makes you rela...

Andrea.. I think that you haven't found the right job as a nurse yet. Don't give up on something you work to hard to achieve. I am sure you are a wonderful nurse but you had a very bad luck on finding a decent nursing job. Keep trying to find a good ...
