I have found that those that cheat usually end up failing at some point, either a class, a SIM, a clinical, or the NCLEX. Focus on yourself.

Let people live. As long as they're not violating HIPAA it's all good in my book. They're proud of what they do and It humanizes the profession. There are other social media posts to gripe about.

I came online to search for precasting tips and found this post. Everyone's comments will be helpful for me as I am struggling with my preceptee as well. Similar in nature, but he is a new, new grad. I will just have to remain patient when teaching a...

As my manager says, "Planet earth is a red zone when it comes to COVID." As such, the hospital I work at will no longer honor "medical exemptions" and everyone was required to return to "normal" duties this past Monday. As long as you utilize proper ...

This is exactly what I am thinking. I'm often in a patients room and will have the tele tech call me in the room and notify me that the pt is desating. Or I will have another RN come in to tell me. I also do the same. The bottom line is, if I, or ano...

Where I am at the docs write specific orders to “bundle care” and “limit time in pt’s room”. We are allowed to answer call lights at the nurses station. We are allowed to call the pts room to check in on them. We are allowed to stand by the door to a...

I am going to start A MS in Health Informatics program in the Fall. Main reason is I have a BA and an ADN, no BSN. I want to get into the field but didn’t want to spend more money taking extra upper division nursing courses for an MSN w/ focus in Hea...

I live and work in Arizona. I'm sure everyone has seen the news re. Arizona. I also happen to work on the Navajo reservation. Which, again, I'm sure you have seen the news re. these two areas. Well, I can say most days our COVID unit is full. ICU has...

Oh yes. I submitted an application in April and got a call for an interview until August. Was offered the position after the interview but didn't start on the job until Sept. 30th. At my previous job I was working w/in 3 weeks. And I was already work...

I got 33.33gtt/min. There are 20gtt/ml The volume you have is 100mL which has to infuse over 1 hour. So, there are 2000gtt/100mL. Next we need to calculate gtt/min. There are 60mins/hour. We will infuse the 2,000gtt over 60mins (2,000/60) This come...

I don't know how it is in Texas, but in Arizona every single one of my class mates (40 in all) graduated with their ADN, passed NCLEX and got a job. Some, while still in school, and others less than 5 months after graduating and passing NCLEX. Many w...

Yes, it's common. Our proctored grades had to be above 76% before our non-proctored grades were added.

I just recently graduated (Dec. 2017) and have been working for a year now. In my program, during the final months, we were allowed to perform skills with just the assigned RN present. How can one instructor be there for every task, for every student...

As a fairly new grad (8 months in) I am working in PCU, I had 12 weeks of unit orientation, I couldn't imagine doing 8 weeks. I also was always asking questions about things I was unfamiliar with. I didn't just ask my preceptor, I would ask my co-wor...

I went to school in AZ. Graduated in December 2017, but I submitted my application 2 months before graduation. I then had to wait for the school to submit info to the board upon my graduation. After they submit my info re. graduation the board releas...

I am new to night shift. And I am so thankful for my preceptor that first week. I struggled those first 3 shifts. The first 2 were the worst. But after that my body got used to it. I figured out my sleeping routine. As mentioned by another I cluster ...

I've been working my first RN job for 5 months and I still feel out of sorts. I have been off orientation since the middle of June and my first day on my own was nerve-racking. But, I had a ton of support. My pod mate was always asking if I was okay ...

3 weeks after graduation. :)

There should be an appeal form you can fill out with financial aid. The form I filled out was a Maximum Time Frame Appeal. Also, try and apply for scholarships. There are a ton out there if your willing to put in the work of applying. I got 2 while i...

Just an FYI: I took NCLEX in February 2018 and didn't get a single math/dosage questions. I asked some of my classmates and out of 14 people only 1 person got 1 question.

Yes, you can!

I used a 3 year old Acer PC for about a year of school, it was so bothersome with the constant updates, automatic shutdowns, and chrome issues. The motherboard gave out unexpectedly one day and I replaced it with a MacBook Air. Best decision I ever m...

Wow! The use of the "angry black women" stereotype to back up your argument is a cheap shot. Not surprising though, especially given how many posters are whining about the "race card". OP - if you felt discriminated against there are laws that prohi...
