  1. question about subpoena

    beekee replied to carmelojames123's topic in General Nursing

    Call the law firm. If you avoid service, you may be charged the cost of the service, which can run into hundreds of dollars, especially if they need to keep coming back. However, even if you refuse to...

  2. New grads hired in hospitals?

    beekee replied to Fabiolaslopez's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Have you applied? Talk to the manager of the unit where you volunteer and express your interest. Where I work, they are desperate for nursing assistants and are offering hiring

  3. Cover letter critque

    beekee replied to rachmckn's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a new grad or an experienced nurse? It's not clear. Also, you are simply rehashing your resume. Say something specific about why they should hire you. What sets you apart from the myriad of...

  4. Forgot to restart my patients fluids

    beekee replied to daniela095's topic in General Nursing

    When I was new, the charge nurses all knew my number by heart from the caller ID. I'd forget something and call. Most, if not all, of the time, they figured it out before I called. I'm much better...

  5. Good area to relocate to?

    beekee replied to AesthesiaSeeker's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Recruiters are for people with marketable experience. Recruiters make money from a facility by finding a new employee that fills a need that the facility couldn't find on its own. A nurse with 9...

    $143,918. See West Coast University - Tuition and Fees. If you have some transfer credits, it would be

  7. Peer Review at work...advice please!!

    beekee replied to brockclan3's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to agree with the previous poster - a pharmacology class isn't going to help you (unless your med errors stem from not knowing when to hold meds). You were a good student, so the basics are...

  8. Coworker violated HIPPA

    beekee replied to AsanRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You are the victim? Seriously? You were talking about your nephew behind his back. You were fishing for confirmation on your suspicions. You also imply that you told your coworkers about your...

  9. New RN Grad Need Guidance Please :()

    beekee replied to NewICUNurse93's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not there, so I'm only really guessing. Yes, you seem too task oriented. For every medication, you need to know why it's been ordered, what to watch for and it's desired effect. On time is nice,...

  10. New RN Grad Need Guidance Please :()

    beekee replied to NewICUNurse93's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In your next meeting with your manager, ask if you can transfer to a lower acuity floor (med surg). If no, be prepared to resign. I'd start applying now, as it's always easier to get a job when you...

  11. pharmacology resources

    beekee replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    The American Diabetes Association has a ton of free CEs. Also, medscape offers free CEs. They have a whole section on diabetes and endocrinology. MyCME also has diabetes-related CEs. Just check the...

  12. New Grad Dilemma - Help

    beekee replied to Anonymous877's topic in General Nursing

    Often, what you think you will like and what you like are not the same. Nursing is so different from clinicals or working as a nursing assistant. I don't do a lot of detox, so maybe if I had only all...

  14. The life or death squatty potty

    beekee replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    If you are lucky, she'll remember you and refuse you as her nurse. We can dream,

  15. New Grad Does Not Want to be Stuck in a Residency Program

    beekee replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    If you want to avoid the bedside, the best thing you can do is a nurse residency. Look at job postings for jobs you'd like. A lot of the non-bedside jobs require 1-2 years of acute care experience, or...

  16. Iv antibiotic running as primary?

    beekee replied to SquatsNScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    How do you do

  17. Money for school when "we do not participate in federal student loans"

    beekee replied to RightMeowRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Huge red flag. I would venture a guess that this school and the nursing program are not accredited. You want to make sure your nursing program is accredited by either ACEN or CCNE. If it is not, it...

  18. Hep B series ??

    beekee replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just call the school to see if April is OK. Trust me, you are not the first student to not have it done before school

  19. Immunizations Advice

    beekee replied to Meow278's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was over 40 when I applied to nursing school. There was no way for me to get records from 40 years ago! My state has a database I could access (online) to get my immunization records. I found out...

  20. Is it wrong to start infusion that will not finish till next shift?

    beekee replied to Capp's topic in Patient Medications

    Confirm the patient, med and rate when you start your shift with anything infusing. You can get in trouble for not noticing for several hours that the wrong med is hanging or that the clamp was never...

  21. Could I pass?

    beekee replied to haleylayne12's topic in General Students

    Do you think you can average 80% on the last three exam in the class with six exams and average 78% on the last two exam in the class with five exams? Have your grades trended up at all? If not, it...

  22. Tattoos in the workplace

    beekee replied to KB4848's topic in General Nursing

    Complete guess here, but I surmise that a nurse with visible tattoos will be tolerated at your place of employment. However, your manager is hinting that if you want to go into management, tattoos...

  23. How do you know it's time to change departments?

    beekee replied to nz71's topic in General Nursing

    When is it time? When you start asking if it's

  24. Vision in One Eye

    beekee replied to Meow278's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Do the patient's notice your eye now? I'm guessing not. I'm pretty sure patients don't look more closely at the nurse. You will be
