   B,RN replied to lassenlake's topic in General Nursing

   I work in ICU. In the ICU setting we can only have 2 patients. 2 patients means 2 patients, not 3 or 4 if your buddy is on a break. There needs to be adequate staffing for meal coverage for all of...

   B,RN replied to Hunterdalt09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I studied for nclex while planning a wedding and got married right when I started a new job. There is never perfect timing in life for big changes. My advice: take a deep breath. It doesn't seem...

   B,RN replied to pilot833's topic in General Nursing

   Echoing what most others said- it depends on where you live and how many hours a week you work or any shift differentials. I have done well without working overtime, but in other parts of the county...

   B,RN replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

   I love your heart for your patients and your coworkers. Please do not forget- nursing is a 24 hour, 7 day a week job. There will ALWAYS be tasks that are not able to be completed. That is part of...

8. Stupid looser nurse looking for work!

   B,RN replied to guest825264's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   Just because you received a rejection email after they scheduled an interview does not mean you are already out of the job running. This happened to me before. HR told me that when there are...

10. Fired for Pyxis discrepancy

    B,RN replied to Kristen75's topic in Patient Medications

    While I do agree they should have at least asked the other nurse to verify if you wasted together, ultimately it is your responsibility to ensure the waste goes through the machine. There have been...

11. Can an APRN practice as an RN

    B,RN replied to rhuelsen's topic in General Nursing

    An EKG is a procedure. You need an order for any procedures/tests/meds given. In my unit, we have a standing order for EKGs due to chest pain/sob/arrythmias, etc. However, we still have to release...

15. two interviews ...what if I get both?

    B,RN replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Trust me: you need to give two weeks notice. You never know where your current managers will be working 10, 20, 30 years from now and you also never know if this agency will be bought out by a major...
