   Try this site: Epic | Excite Health Partners EMRjobs.com might be another helpful one. You have a great background for it, with 8 years of clinical experience, but the big advantage is the 3 years using Epic. While I have clinical experience and trai...

2. Unemployed for 2 years, No one wants me anymore.

   JTwin replied to lumbarpain's topic in Retired

   Wow. I've been out of the field for 2 years now, just got laid off from a job training EHR software. I worked as an RN for 2.5 years before that - had a back injury 6 months into the job and pushed through the pain for the next 2 years until it was n...

3. Why such high new RN turnover?

   JTwin replied to Calder's topic in New Nurse

   To Calder, as KelRN216 said, working as a CNA will help you learn prioritization and time management skills, which are crucial to success as an RN. I worked as a tech while I was in nursing school and it was so helpful! I had exposure to the hospital...

4. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

   JTwin replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

   I worked night shift and a lot of us had a PRN for insomnia. As for meds taken at work, I think it depends on the person and how it affects them... when your sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive, that can't be good for your patient, either. It'...

5. Trangendered MtF Nursung student

   JTwin replied to Kareal's topic in General Students

   Hi :) I completed a female to male transition before I started nursing school and had no difficulty whatsoever, though I imagine it would be more difficult to be going through transition during school. In fundamentals, there were some comments about ...

6. Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

   JTwin replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

   Hi. I'm a transgender nursing student about to graduate in 2 weeks and I completed my transition (female to male) before I began school. Three of my classmates know -- one had a feeling because she'd known a few transguys before me, one found out fro...

   JTwin replied to Nashima's topic in Florida

   Hi, and congratulations =) I am currently in their upper division program and I got the acceptance packet 2 or 3 days before the intent to enroll form was due! Then I had a week to get the TB test and immunizations out of the way -- I got the TB test...

   JTwin replied to Nashima's topic in Florida

   Oh, crap. I do have AHA CPR certification -- that's the card I lost! I wasn't able to find a place that teaches it w/them so I signed up for this Red Cross class... Has anyone asked to see your card, or do they take your word for it? Thanks for the w...

10. Microbiology before A & P I & II

    JTwin replied to hays2001's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took AP1 last semester. This semester, I had 3 prereqs left (nutrition, microbio, and AP2) so I'm taking them all together and doing fine... but it was a Hell of a lot easier to understand microbio, having already gone over cell components, functio...

    Same orientation date. I didn't even get my forms in the mail until today!!! I dropped the intent to enroll form at the office an hour ago, went to SHS to get the TB test and was told Thursday is the only day they can't do them u_u. So I'm going in t...

13. How do I get started on an accelerated BSN?

    JTwin replied to TellyTelz's topic in New Nurse

    Are you taking the prerequisites at the same school? If not, make sure they will be accepted at SUNY. Most (all?) will require you be accepted to the school before applying to a specific college within it. If you're already in, you might want to cont...

14. Things that make you go... ehhh errmm ack!

    JTwin replied to xt1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I haven't seen any of it in person, but I don't have a problem with the thought of any of it or the sight on TV or a website... but I really don't like the idea of sticking things up where I can't see them. IVs, needles, catheters, ears, noses... The...

15. Transgender nursing student!!

    JTwin replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Students

    I agree with your point, but I'm not sure that this was the situation. The OP said that until the instructor said something, none of the students had known he was transgender, so not including him wasn't about that fact.
