1. WGU RN-BSN 2020 GRADUATE!

   Cali_RN18 replied to NurseEffort's topic in Western Governors

   I really like the program. The pace is good because you can do as much or as little in a week. I was able to do 17 units in my 1st term. My mentor is amazing and is available to answer questions. There have been weeks where I am so busy at work with ...

3. Not Getting Paid Overtime. Is This Illegal?

   Cali_RN18 replied to AnaBanana.RN's topic in General Nursing

   Sounds like you need more clarification on the pay rate. I am in Cali and work at outpatient dialysis. I get my base pay for the first 8, then time and a half for the last 4 and DT after that. I have always been paid this way, and the breakdown is o...

4. Looking for advice from nurses in Leadership roles with my current situation...

   Cali_RN18 replied to Cali_RN18's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all for the responses. I think the best move for me is to meet with this nurse and all the higher ups who do have the authority to terminate him and have a final written warning regarding his behavior. I truly appreciate the feed back!! I w...

   Cali_RN18 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi fellow nurses! I have been a nurse for almost 3 years in an outpatient dialysis clinic. I am still learning and growing myself as a nurse and about 9 months ago I stepped up to the positions of clinical coordinator and became a preceptor in my cli...

6. Acute Kidney Injury

   Cali_RN18 replied to Future Nurse In Training's topic in General Nursing

   It is not normal. For all my AKI patients the BUN and creatinine are elevated. Nephrology is consulted and patients are usually started on dialysis. Some patients truly are AKI and a underlying condition needs to resolve, but the labs are 100% of the...

8. Hepatitis B vaccination

   Cali_RN18 replied to seericap's topic in General Nursing

   I had my last vaccine in 96' . When I got my titer done for nursing school I needed a booster done. I second it has to do with each individual's immune system.

   Cali_RN18 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Headlines

   I am in the process of vaccinating my patients 65 and older..Hurricane Dorian delayed the rest. I will get mine too. Herd immunity is the way to go so we can protect those whom it is contraindicated for.

10. Chronic Kidney Disease: AANP 2019 Presentation

    Cali_RN18 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Advanced

    I really enjoyed reading this, thanks for posting. Very relevant information as the statistics don't lie! The general public need to be better educated by their PCP when they have diabetes and/or hypertension and that they contribute to renal failure...

12. Dear Nurse Manager, why won’t you hire dialysis nurses

    Cali_RN18 replied to Natkat's topic in General Nursing

    You pose a very valid question. I am going on almost 2 years of dialysis and it being my 1st job as a new grad. I happen to love every second of my job, my patients, my team. I feel like dialysis is a specialty that people are not very well educated ...

14. American River College ARC Spring 2018

    Cali_RN18 replied to Hiandrew1's topic in School Programs

    @ mirahaloRN2017.... as a fellow ARC nursing program alumni, I would HIGHLY suggest to not drop names of faculty on this site. I would edit your post to I spoke with the "Director of the Program" instead.

15. NCLEX Results California

    Cali_RN18 replied to surfergirl166's topic in NCLEX

    Some of what you guys are talking about does not make any sense. You have to first apply to the BRN and pay the 150 or 200 if you are getting the interim permit. Then the college you graduate from sends the transcripts to the BRN. In the mean time, y...
