    Depends what kind of house guest you are ?

    Alarm Fatigue Design Feedback

    Have you shadowed any nurses yet as part of your research? I think it would make it much easier for you to put your idea together if you experienced a couple of twelve hour shifts for yourself, if you haven’t already.

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Enjoy your new career... maybe look for one where you actually believe in what you study.
  4. I’m just curious how hitting accept first would’ve prevented giving the wrong route? I’ve been trained to give them then hit accept because if you drop a med or the patient doesn’t actually take them you can still remove them at that point?

    Pre-student in need of advice

    I mean most of the programs I've looked at it's 3 years instead of 2 - doesn't seem like a huge deal? Note DNPs are clinical doctorates not PhDs, so you don't have to do your own research for your thesis. You will use research that others have done ...
  6. Well what did your preceptor say about it? ?‍♂️

    Do nurses make a difference?

    ?
  8. Based on your replies to the advice you’ve been given, it sure sounds like you have your mind made up already - so just go for it.

    so lost

    Your manager is telling you that right now you are suited for med-surg. If you apply to another department that is the person they are going to talk to. Most likely if you want to stay at the hospital that is your only choice if you're reading betw...

    Is this resident abuse and should be reported?

    Also, if you start reporting things like this (i.e., nothing), no one is going to take you seriously when you actually see something worth reporting.

    Neuro ICU to Nursery?

    When I went to the interview for my current position I was wearing scrubs, looked like a tornado hit me, said “sorry it’s been a day” and had a cup of coffee... and beat out the other candidates. I think if a nurse is interviewing they will get it. ...

    Is this resident abuse and should be reported?

    The resident grabbed the CNA how the hell would that be resident abuse?

    How long to get license issued?

    WI took less than 24 hours - I was still waiting for my quick results to be available when they emailed me and said it was issued. lol

    NCLEX

    I found the in-person Kaplan sessions to be the most beneficial. You can know all the content in the world, but if you can't figure out the best option you aren't going to pass NCLEX.

    Studying For NCLEX

    I didn't do any NCLEX until graduation. We had our in-person Kaplan sessions the week after classes were finished, I took 3-4 weeks to finish the rest of the program and took my test and passed in 75. You still have quite a bit of content to get th...

    ICU or IMU telemetry?

    How old are you? It's a year - that's basically nothing. Magnet hospitals are amazing to work at, I would definitely get my foot in the door there.

    How Can a New Grad Stand Out When Applying to ED?

    If you’re working in a hospital already, work with your manager to get a referral, assuming you are doing a good job. I was working on a med surg unit as an extern my final semester and my manager called the ICU for me, got me the interview, and ult...

    Tips/resources for reviewing anatomy before nursing school?

    You’ll review physiology as you study different body systems in your nursing courses as it’s relevant. I would just refresh as it comes up - usually there’s a bit of it included in your exams.
  19. When you’re preparing for NCLEX those types of questions are almost always “tell the supervisor” and don’t confront the person directly. However, you should just get used to this now because disagreeing with answers on tests is a regular occurrence ...

    Why are so many nurses against unions?

    I am 43 and nursing is a third career for me. I have worked all over the world and in a variety of fields, basically checking off my bucket list of careers lol. The hospital I decided to work at is non-Union, non-profit and a long time Magnet hospi...
  21. I'm graduating in a few weeks and am interested in working towards being a psychiatric NP. Most of the hospitals behavioral health nursing positions seem to require at least a year of "clinical experience". There is a behavioral health hospital tha...

    Residency or no residency?

    We don't really have residency programs near me either, but we can do externships during our final semester of school. I found that to be extremely beneficial and grew a lot during my last semester of school because of it. It doesn't sound like tho...

    Juvenile felony and background check

    Have you talked to a lawyer to see if they are eligible to be sealed? I’m not very familiar with that process in California.

    Hello I have a few questions

    An ADN/RN requires two years of nursing courses and clinicals IN ADDITION to the prerequisites you are doing. So from the sounds of it, no you are not close to completing that and you won’t be able to do an online program.

    Surge Pay

    Time and a half+ is an insult? So don't take it... I guess if everyone is that greedy they'll have to up it some more. If I was working there I'd be working all the shifts they'd give me though.
