    Need help with breeze.ca.gov

    Sour Lemon replied to Sunnysandy's topic in General Nursing

    They are pretty much impossible to contact unless you show up in person. OP, I'm too lazy to look for the actual "rule", but I'm under the impression that your CEs have to be completed within a...

    List of California hospitals that offer new grad programs

    Sour Lemon replied to Katya944's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I waited until I had two years of experience before moving to the area, so I'm not sure about new grad programs. I do want to let you know that you can't "transfer" your license, though. You can apply...

    Need Advice for New Grad Job

    Sour Lemon replied to IntransigentSmith's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I loved psych as a new grad, but the only psych job I applied for wanted med/surg experience (one year). And while I would rather have started in psych, I'm so glad that I got six years of medical,...

    Which field of nursing is the most technically hard?

    Sour Lemon replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    May I ask ...what is the point of this question? Do you have a specific goal in mind? It might be easier to answer if you disclose what you plan to do with the

    UTI resistant to treatment

    Sour Lemon replied to Lauren21bk's topic in General Nursing

    Ask about a enterovesical fistula if you haven't already ...could be a million other things, but that's just one thing I happen to be familiar with. An individual I knew was treated for infection over...

    New Grad RN

    Sour Lemon replied to Nurseannieb's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I just work with very chatty CNA nursing students. Or maybe I'm the chatty one. In any case, what's expected will vary a bit from place to place and person to person. Day one may be observation,...

    New Grad RN

    Sour Lemon replied to Nurseannieb's topic in General Nursing

    Serious question ....because I always wonder when I see these types of posts. If you're a CNA, don't you have a pretty decent idea? ...or at least work with nurses that you could talk to about their...

    Do you ever regret becoming a nurse?

    Sour Lemon replied to hs276009's topic in General Nursing

    No. I've been a stressed out, "trained monkey" for a lot less in pay. I do worry that my body will wear out earlier than it would if I had a desk job, but I've already gotten a return on my...

    As you're a new grad, I doubt they care what you want ....especially in that market. I would expect an offer of less than what a hospital would pay,

    Can you refuse to give care to a resident in LTC?

    Sour Lemon replied to CNA2016:)'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, is he "nice" to the other staff? Are they all aching to take him off your hands in exchange for one of their polite patients? I'm guessing not... If you can refuse to take care of him, then the...

    Boundaries

    Sour Lemon replied to 90Random's topic in General Nursing

    So, is that a yes or a no? I'm wondering because this is the sort of thing they really beat into your head during nursing school. If you're working in some other sort of position, then I would have no...

    Not loving nursing....yet.

    Sour Lemon replied to MrsJt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That sounds a lot like my first nursing job. Just get your year or two of experience and move on to greener pastures. I guarantee you you're not the first to complain about your working conditions...

    Memory on the job

    Sour Lemon replied to RugerNurse's topic in General Nursing

    My memory is about the same as it was when I started seven years ago. It might even be worse. What's different is that I know what to pay attention to ...so after I "ignore" all the less important...

    What would you think if you saw this patient?

    Sour Lemon replied to coffeemamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would think ER for further evaluation just to be on the safe side ...but who takes a suddenly unable to speak or swallow patient to an outpatient clinic? That makes me think there may have been more...

    Only one nurse scheduled overnight - What is your facilty backup plan?
