Have you tried Quizlet? There is another similar website, but I don't recall its name.

Have you thought about shadowing an OB nurse or lactation educator? Or techs? Hospitals in your area may offer opportunities to shadow, and it may help you to narrow down the areas that you feel are best suited for you.

You would never be wrong to add this to your resume. I would recommend using the heading "Professional Development" if you do discuss it there. However, I think a better place to discuss the convention is in your cover letter.

Hello, If you do a search on nurse.org for "How To Upgrade Your Nursing License To An eNLC In 2018", I think you'll find answers to your questions. I also found a bunch of info on the Florida BON website (floridanursing.gov). Search "Nurse Compact F...

I'm not in CA but was enrolled in two different bridge programs (LPN to AD-RN, then AD-RN to BSN). Nursing schools will definitely, and probably primarily, look at your practical nurse/vocational nursing school grades. If you have a few schools in mi...

A faster more accurate way to get the info you need is to go to the CA BON site (rn.ca.gov) for lists of approved associates and baccalaureate degree programs [do a search for 'Pre-licensure RN programs' on the site]. The lists indicate which schools...

If you took care of family members out of state, you could add that to your "Work Experience" section of your resume. Something like this: Caregiver (November 2018 - December 2018). City, State Provided in-home care to el...

I found a lot of good info on websites about how to address a gap on a resume or cover letter related to medical issues. Try searching "explain an illness-related medical gap" or "unemployment gaps on your resume due to illness". From what I've read,...

I worked for an organization (not a hospital but a 24/7 operation) that worked us to death during our scheduled shifts but compensated us to the point that we felt like we were given winning scratch off tickets when we picked up a few hours of overti...

I would recommend contacting your nursing school for answers. It will depend on the clinical site's requirements. Your vaccine in 2010 probably provided no immunity. It wouldn't surprise me if you have to start the series again, then have a titer dra...

There are a few places you can check: Your state's medical board [each state has some oversight over your scope of practice and each state may be different]; your office or organization may have written policies for MAs; or you could see if your job ...

Just a thought..try writing your state's BON to see if LVNs can provide primary care. Annecdotally, when my unit (not in CA) switched from team nursing to primary care, the RN had to do one assessment on a patient every 24 hours and the initial asse...

This is beside the point. Cheating and stealing (as you described) are not ok. I would definitely suggest reporting this. Who knows..maybe instead of ruining her life, you might actually save it. It may be the wake-up call she needs to get back on a ...

I agree with the poster above. You might also consider re-arranging your sections. Summary Work Experience Education (with capstone subsection) Licenses and Certifications Affiliations (list your roles if you had ...

Other sections that you can add: Volunteer Work, Professional Organizations, Languages. As far as describing your last position, instead of describing your job duties [which is in essence your job description], bullet-point the special roles you hel...

You may want to see if your school library, or even regular library, has the "Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy" or "Pharmacology Demystified" books for nurses. These books are easy to read and will give you general info, but enough info, to give you...

When you applied for your program, did your application contain an affidavit that you signed regarding criminal history? Depending on how detailed the questions were on the form, how much was asked, and how you responded, there might be a concern if ...

Congrats!!!!

Definitely take it. You are assessing and triaging. Maybe even getting a complete health history in there. Very important nursing skills.

I didn't take that particular certification exam, but used quizlet to study for another. If you go to that website, type "medical-surgical nurse certification" in the search bar, scroll down a bit, and you'll find several sets of flashcards for the e...

My son has a cabin on a bay in a remote spot in my state on one of the larger Great Lakes. That's where I go to decompress. The woods are behind me and nothing but a sandy beach and beautiful water as far as the eye can see. A treat is seeing a freig...

Good God Almighty. I had to stop watching after that girl repeatedly hit the mentally challenged man with that belt. Talk about demonic and sadistic. I hope karma and the law found her soon after.

Dressing changes. IV sites, incisions, wounds, ostomies......love it all.

Yes, go for it!!! I think I was 50 when I graduated from my RN-BSN program. Even though you'll be making the same pay at your job after you obtain your BSN, you're going to wake up every day happy that you made the decision to get it. One thing I no...
