It is not rude what so ever. You are the priority as a new employee and you should be getting that experience, especially if they expect you to be on your own soon. Those students will eventually become nurses and will have their own time to build th...

I don't think it was wrong if you to ask at all and I think of you told her the reason you told us she would be more understandable. But I promise you, you are most likely very ready to come off of orientation. I think everyone feels like they're not...

I would definitely look into it and maybe ask an advisor. But I would honestly highly consider leaving the LPN program in favor for the RN program if your accepted. Like others said, it will save you time and money if you think you'd be able to get t...

The main issue with discrepancies in regards to medication management systems like the Pyxis lay with controlled substances... So narcotics, benzos, etc. the other medications are the least of their concerns other than in regards to billing the patie...

I would most definitely take the ICU position. There you will get the time and training you deserve and I promise will make you a better nurse for what ever you decide to do afterwards. This is where you start your foundation and you build everything...

I'm not sure... Something doesn't sound quite right. I at least was never called by the BON, nor anyone else that I know of. Also, I feel like it even took a little while for my license number to even come across as well

I think it happens to all of us. Just as many have said, don't feed the wolf. Plus, physicians aren't worth it

It's good that you are questioning orders!! Never just give it because it's ordered. This might very well be an appropriate dose for that patient even though it is high and the blood sugar is below 150. What I do in these instances, is I look at thei...

By far take option number 1... What you have look at is who is going to give you the best foundation. The program offered in option 1 is phenomenal, many facilities do that and many nurses would clamor at that type of orientation. No hesitation, I'd ...

There is always a chain of command. If you don't get the answers you, want elevate it to the next step up. Use it and follow it. This holds true in any scenario including with physicians. Everyone always answers to someone. I also don't think that as...

I definitely have had feelings like this too. For me at least they come and go depending on how things have been. What I try to do is getting into new things. I've always been in the ICU so it may be different but there's little opportunities for gro...

If you've already decided you want to become a nurse then get your ADN for sure. There were many that were still able to work full time while in the program, albeit difficult, but definitely doable if that's a concern. Longterm-wise, your ability to ...

I would definitely try to take more classes to get your GPA up... You could re-take ones you did poorly in but would benefit you for the program like chemistry, stats, etc. or take the ones you suggested if even possible. You have to be careful with ...

I applied at the beginning of October, how long did it take from you to hear from them after you applied? And then the interview from that? any insight as to what the interview entails??

Congrats!! How long did it take from you to hear from them after you applied? And then the interview from that? How was the interview? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
