Collecting too much urine at one time can cause your patient to become hypotensive despite the fact that they cannot empty their bladder.

I work in a hospital.

I graduated with an ADN in January, 2015 with and ADN. I also have a BA and I moved from NY to Florida. I'm currently finishing my BSN online

On #3, you should not reopen the NS clamp. It should be closed when the blood is running which prevents blood from entering the bag of NS. Also, you should check vitals before you start blood, 15 minutes after blood has started and every hour while blood is running and an hour after blood is finished. I would also mention that you will monitor the patient while up to 24 hours after the transfusion for adverse effects. Once the blood is completed, then reopen the NS clamp to flush the line.

City: Orlando, FL Position: Residency GYN/ONC PAY: $23.00 ASN, 23.75 BSN, Differential 10% weekends, 30% nights Benefits: Yes for full time Housing: Depends on where you live, I pay $1185 for a one bedroom downtown.

I had a previous non-nursing bachelors degree and obtained my ASN while working a full time and part time job. I am now completing my rn-bsn online while working full time as a nurse. I had some semblance of a social life but it involved a lot of strategic planning, a great boyfriend and great friends.

There was a reality tv show about traveling nurses on MTV called "scrubbing in" and it was awful.

I just completed a part time ADN program and I worked full time and had a part time job(10-15 hours). Our classes were Mondays and Wednesdays with clinicals on Saturday or Sunday. Took 3 years to complete including prerequisites but I had most of those completed from my previous bachelors degree.

I agree with purple_roses. Freaking out about it won't change anything that's going to happen. Focus on excelling at your program and then do an RN to BSN program once you're done. There will be places that will hire you; you might need to move out of state if you're in a saturated area. Network with the nurses while you're in clinical. Let them know that you would like to work at the hospital so they can put in a word for you with the hiring manager. Treat your clinical as a job interview so they see you as an asset to the floor.

You can take the NCLEX in NY and apply for endorsement in DC and Maryland. Endorsement means that other states acknowledge that you have taken and passed the NCLEX so they don't require you to take the test again. Each location would have their own requirements so visit their BON websites. Typically you need a background check and also an application on Nursys and then a fee to each locations BON.

Why are you feeling discouraged about your ADN? There are many RN to BSN programs that you can do part time and online enabling you to work full time. I am currently working full time and enrolled at University of Louisiana at Lafayette in their RN to BSN program and I will finish April 2016, I started this past May. I had a previous non-nursing Bachelors but I realized nursing was what I wanted to do but I could not stop working to enroll in a full time BSN program. If you want to be competitive and get hired as a nurse, you'll do whats necessary. In my case it meant leaving NYC which is overly saturated to move to Florida where there are more opportunities.

My externship preceptor started her career in an ambulatory clinic last august and received an offer for an OR position 8 months later. I think its great experience.

That's kind of harsh. People don't choose to be sensitive. Speaking as someone who is sensitive it is a burden which I work very hard to not let affect my life. It's like saying if you have blue eyes please don't bring that to work.

University of Louisiana Lafayette. All online and can be completed in a year.

Through the Florida BON.
