   This is horrible

   Kallie3006 replied to Nitenurse03's topic in Recovery

   Feeling like a new grad all over again. Stick it out?

   Expiration date checks on supplies

   Kallie3006 replied to stellabella236's topic in Nursing

   I work at a hospital in Texas and we do not do anything of this sort and we get surveyed like anyone else. Seems like a waste of time and manpower that could surely be used in a more productive way.

    Unsafe Environment for Graduate Nurse?

    Kallie3006 replied to KMcRN19's topic in Nursing

    You have to also remember that you have the power to NOT accept an assignment if you feel that it is not safe or not in your scope of practice. You may lose your job for refusing an assignment or may face disciplinary action (or may not), within the...

    Kallie3006 replied to Anon143's topic in School Programs

    My school passing was a 78 and if you failed you had an opportunity to join the following class if space permitted. Each class we had a Hesi and Capstone at the end and if you didn't get above a certain score then you were required to take a remedia...

    Concerned

    Kallie3006 replied to exit96's topic in Nursing

    Have you approached the techs in a nonthreatening manner asking what they feel you didn't help with and what can be agreed upon to reestablish your coworker relationship? If not then I would start there.
