I can't believe these people... at my job "oh sorry I didn't have time to chart" doesn't cut it. Charting is a REQUIREMENT and if we don't do it to the letter we get written up and even fired. I'm...
I asked to move to day shift and I was moved IMMEDIATELY, no more night shifts ever. I love working nights but I can't handle what it's doing to the rest of my life. So my first day shift is tomorrow....
I've only been working as a nurse for 5 months at the moment, so any change I might make would be far in the future... but I've been thinking a lot about ER lately. I work on an ortho/trauma floor,...
Just wondering how full lab tubes really need to be. I usually try to get mine about halfway (unless it's a blue top), but the other day I saw a more experienced nurse sending off blood with hardly...
I finally got my first nursing job! I start July 24th in an ortho/trauma unit at a hospital I am extremely unfamiliar with. I know it's a great hospital, I'm not worried about that, but I had hoped to...
My school required an NCLEX prep course BUT we knew about this requirement from day one of semester one, and it was only a 3 day course. And yes we did have to pay for it, $425. I know a lot of other...
Can anyone give me a list of all the types of code status? I get DNR, DNI, comfort measures, full code... But I've recently started seeing things like code A and code B in clinicals, what...

It's my second time because I failed clinically last semester. Yes, she will fail me if she thinks I'm not competent. She thinks I can't handle a high stress environment. The only negative feedback...
So I'm in my last semester of nursing school (for the second time), and apparently my clinical instructor thinks I'm not cut out to work in a hospital, and I'm pretty sure the only way she's going to...
First of all, as for the cliques, it really sucks but it's very common. You just have to really work to overlook it and be the more mature one. Now on to grades. In my program they say that quizzes...
Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. I don't know about your school, but at mine micro is one of the most hated classes by everyone. Most people choose to take it in summer so that they will be able...
Okay so I'll try to keep what could be a very long story as concise as possible. I started what should have been my last semester of AD nursing school on August 22nd, but on August 6th my life...
A man being a nurse is a plus for me. If you're a nurse it automatically means you're smart (even the easiest nursing school in the world still requires serious intelligence!), it means you have...
