  1. Paid Preceptorships??

    nursemomruns replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

  2. How much did you make as a new grad?

    nursemomruns replied to SerenityR.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    I started at $8.75 per hour 23 years ago. Suzanne is right - cashier's at the grocery store made more than me at the time. Is it worth it? Each nurse must answer that question for him/herself. It...

  5. License Verification Search

    nursemomruns replied to rogramjet's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I know of close to it is Nursys, but you have to specify the state and not all states belong to it. If he applied for reciprocity somewhere, Ohio may know that. They might not tell...

    nursemomruns replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Off topic- Places to stay

    nursemomruns replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

  8. Off topic- Places to stay

    nursemomruns replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    What about a youth hostel? Not very luxurious, but I know there's one close to DC and it's a very cheap way to stay for a few days. A woman I ran into at a conference did it for 4 nights because she...

    nursemomruns replied to IcantThinkofaName's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The director of your nursing program is wrong. Everyone's test includes "pilot" questions, regardless of the number of questions taken. If you finished at 85 questions, you had the same number of...

  13. Is Indiana RN allowed to give Ketamine for procedural sedation ??

    nursemomruns replied to samaritan's topic in Emergency

    RNCENCCRN is correct. There isn't anything in the INPA that says what drugs a nurse can or can't give. What it does say is that you have to have the experience and education to do what you do. So,...

    nursemomruns replied to newflgrad's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am also a single parent. You don't say how old your kids are, but when mine were younger, it was very difficult. I had the same guilt feelings you do. It gets easier when they get a little older....

  18. I'm scared of physical exam....

    nursemomruns replied to livtek's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The physicals now have to be post-offer physicals. They can't do your physical until you're offered the job. If you need accommodation for your job, they have to provide a reasonable amount. It...

  19. My School is Gone!

    nursemomruns replied to glascow's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Someone who loses a foot shouldn't be shamed for feeling upset because someone else lost a leg. Loss is loss. I'm reminded of people after 911 who were in shock and focused on things like a lost...

    nursemomruns replied to mye614's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is also a good idea to get the detailed test plan from NCSBN. You can use that as a study guide and NCSBN has the most up to date test plan. It changes every 3 years. The test plan only costs 10...
