    Congrats!!!

    Where to apply in Orange County, CA?

    Sour Lemon replied to zackpbuck's topic in General Nursing

    I would advise trying some of the smaller, community hospitals. They may hire a few new grads, although they don't have new grad programs. It might be worth it to browse the California section of the...

    That sounds like a rough journey. I hope you passed. Good

    How would it be? Where did you even get this idea

    An Ethical Dilemma- Outstanding Warrants

    Sour Lemon replied to rkirk89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've never heard of discharging someone into police custody. If they're in custody, the police are already there. Did you make this scenario up or find it somewhere? It seems all sorts of crazy, to...

    Share your 1st day of class experiences

    Sour Lemon replied to OR.Nurse.MJT's topic in General Students

    We had a calculations test within the first hour. If you didn't pass it, that was your first strike. People who didn't pass the second time had a very short "nursing school" experience because they...

    Reasonable time frame for prn medication to be given?

    Weighted blanket "to prevent contractures"?!?!?

    Sour Lemon replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't see anything about what the patient wants, but maybe he's not able to communicate his wants? Does the wife actually believe the blanket is helping, or do you suspect some other

    Sour Lemon replied to tlware's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't make it the wrong dose, but it's weird, pointless, and just doesn't make sense to

    Suggestions for PRN/part-time work?

    Sour Lemon replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    The typical new graduate needs unobstructed availability to be an attractive candidate. Your original job will most likely have to be willing to work around your new

    What nursing skills will I never learn if I start my RN career in home health?

    Sour Lemon replied to Lemon Bars's topic in Home Health

    I suppose that would depend on the type(s) of patients you have or don't

    Precepting Tips

    Sour Lemon replied to beekee's topic in General Nursing

    I ask the preceptee what they feel they need to focus on, how they learn best, etc. That's always the best way to start in my mind ...then I create more of a flexible plan when I get the

    Is this a reasonable expectation?

    Sour Lemon replied to MomOfFive2018's topic in General Students

    You can hope for anything, but that would be unusual for a new graduate. The PRN position I have requires 2-5 years minimum, full time experience. As a new grad, you may be able to request to work...

    Second try. 31 SATA questions , cut off at 75 questions

    Sour Lemon replied to Rmolly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Question ...how do you guys keep track of how many of each type of question? I don't remember if there's anything to write on/with, but I can't imagine wasting processing space in my head on

    Getting into rio honda adn program

    Sour Lemon replied to Ale.torres's topic in School, College Programs

    It looks like it would still be possible based on their vague admission criteria ...but science GPA is one thing they look at, and they only allow one retake of science classes. You will probably get...

    Not just a waitress

    Sour Lemon replied to oceangirl1234's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a joke to me, too ...almost like he felt guilty about his wife being "demanding" (even if she wasn't

    Best bra for nurses

    Sour Lemon replied to iamalagirl's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Questions like this one are always a little creepy ....like when some weird man at the mall shows you a thong and asks if you think "his wife" would like it. Anyway, I will say that Victoria's Secret...

    Sour Lemon replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I just googled it. Doesn't seem like anything a serious provider or even a student would wear. I'm not an NP student,

    Low RN pay

    Sour Lemon replied to jensfbay's topic in Washington Nursing

    That seems pretty simplified, but the bottom line is supply and demand. If the salary and cost of living are not acceptable, moving is the most effective way to solve the problem. I could have a...

    Any advice would be excellent!!

    Sour Lemon replied to AspiringNurse86's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    A lot of people have been in your position and I suspect that you'll eventually end up with a license. The fact that your OVIs are not recent is good ...but the fact that you got another one five...
