  1. ECG stickers during surgery

    kp2016 replied to zarkasik's topic in General Nursing

    Given that you are asking I will assume that someone has chewed your tail for not applying the EKG pads. Having worked in the OR I can tell that in my opinion it saves no time to have this done in...

  2. Failing score on clinical evaluation (long story)

    kp2016 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    I think you need to focus on the bigger picture. I have read your post through a few times and what really stands out is that you accept no responsibility for your poor grade and have no plan to...

    kp2016 replied to renzlao's topic in Emergency

    I LOVED my four 10s. It didn't feel any longer than 8s and heaps shorter than 12s. 10s maybe my favorite shift

  4. Too Sick To Stay Policy?

    kp2016 replied to ArryOtter's topic in School

    Yes Kooky Korky. I have had parents who are only too eager to come get their little darlings. For the younger kids it was our policy to notify the parents if a child came twice in one day even if...

  5. Ethical issue regarding antipsychotic

    kp2016 replied to ksusn's topic in General Nursing

    Given that Hherrn already gave the definitive answer to the OP I would like to add, It is very easy to sit on the sidelines and judge another persons actions. With no person consequences or...

  6. What da heck is a Nurse Career Battery test?

    kp2016 replied to myownboss's topic in General Nursing

    I have taken this exam. I applied online to a large hospital and submitted my resume. I was then asked to follow a link to answer "a few extra questions" to complete my application. A few was 100. The...

    kp2016 replied to guest1017's topic in Nurse Registration

    CGFNs can be very slow. Now that they have the online messaging you can message them and ask if they have received documents when there is a delay. I found things actually got done after I sent...

  8. School has access to Pearson Vue. Is this legal??

    kp2016 replied to reez28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry I missed a big section in the middle of your post. This is beyond underhanded. You should make an office compliant to your BON. It doesn't really help you now but the best move would have...

  9. School has access to Pearson Vue. Is this legal??

    kp2016 replied to reez28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A state Board won't issue an authority to test until you have officially passed the schools official curriculum so I don't understand how the school is forcing you to do anything once you have already...

  10. CES Professional Report Expired

    kp2016 replied to jedremonde's topic in Nurse Registration

    Been there done that. You need to completely re do the entire thing. You can't even pay for a copy of the official transcript for CGFNS, you need to repay and do a new

  12. Bad sbar?

    kp2016 replied to jtanga's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you are being warned. I would suggest that you go back to your manager and request that you be assigned a preceptor to go over how to do a hand over that is "ICU standard". You should also...

  13. Applying for a job at same hospital after resignation

    kp2016 replied to misyan's topic in General Nursing

    HR screens all application's prior to forwarding them to the unit managers. If you were not for rehire you would never have been offered an interview. Good luck at your

  14. New Grad as a Clinical Liaison

    kp2016 replied to Alison2209's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As it appears that you intend to take this job regardless of being warned "what is wrong with the situation before I jump" so good luck, I hope it goes

  15. New Grad as a Clinical Liaison

    kp2016 replied to Alison2209's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As a nurse with many years of experience it is my opinion that this job is not a suitable entry level position, the reasons why have already been outlined by other posters. There are many options...

  17. Non clinical boss wants to sit in on pre-op visit with patients

    kp2016 replied to erica2117's topic in General Nursing

    This is inappropriate and potentially a HIPPA violation. I don't thinks its fair to the patient to involve them in putting a stop to this. I think you should refresh on the dollar value for the...

    kp2016 replied to yejin24's topic in International Nursing

  20. resignation before contract ends

    kp2016 replied to yejin24's topic in International Nursing

    I worked in Saudi for several years a few ago. The first few months were the hardest. If I had been forced to share a house with the people I worked with I really don't know how I would have coped. I...

    kp2016 replied to yejin24's topic in International Nursing

    Saudi is a very challenging place to work and the social cliques make it a lot harder. when are you eligible for your first holiday? I would book it asap, leave and not come back, it actually happens...

  23. Failed School Practical

    kp2016 replied to FrustratedCivilian's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    kp2016 replied to vxxen's topic in General Nursing

  25. Taking a sick day after giving notice

    kp2016 replied to kimbalotz's topic in General Nursing

    You need to check your facility's HR policy. I have worked somewhere that stated that during your notice period you couldn't not take leave of any kind. I don't know if this included sick leave but I...
