This is a great question and not sure why you would not be able to do this. Have you reached out to anyone who teaches and or your school to see how they can assist you?

You should always hire an attorney if you can when dealing with the board of nursing. Go the your boards website and review whatever information they have about being under investigation what due process you will be extended.

This is a huge issue and more and more nurses need to start talking about this and bringing it to the forefront. Boards across the nation need oversight.

Hey!!! Any tips on the paper for Nursing Informatics C 156? It's a pretty big task. I'm trying to get through that and STATS.. STATS is killing me. Any advice passing that class would be appreciated as well. I really struggle with the probability portion of it for sure! Thanks! Mags

Absolutely!!! APPLY what are you waiting for. The ER is an awesome place to work. Start in a small ER to get your feet wet. You really have to learn how to manage your time management skills and have the ability to recognize unstable patient's and to triage appropriately. Learn from the experienced nurses around you! Every nurse who you work with will be an asset either to teach you things that are beneficial or things you will NEVER do. Listen to the MD when he talks. ER medicine is like cook book medicine. You know when say a patient comes in with CP you will get an EKG within 5 minutes, establish and IV, O2, labs, monitor, bp cuff, sat probe Nitro x 3 if the MD orders it, morphine ect, ect. It will be the same with similiar complaints. If you want it do it!!!!! NEVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU, YOU CAN'T!!!! Do not doubt yourself! Give 110%! Read! Educate yourself and pay attention to what's happening.... the little sutle things. You have to be able to take in everything. When you look at the patient you should be able to do a couple assessments just talking to them. DO IT!!!!
