2. How many of you worked during school?

   Krystljoy replied to ChrisAHF's topic in General Nursing

   I worked 15-20 hours a week until my last year of Nursing School. Now I am working one shift (12 hours) at the most per week as a Nurse Extern. The Nurse Extern position has really helped get my confidence level up for Nursing School, so if you have ...

3. Delivery Hospital vs Children's Hospital

   Krystljoy replied to Krystljoy's topic in NICU

   Thanks for all the great responses. Yeah, the delivery hospital that offered me a job is a level III and I believe they do pretty much everything except ECHMO (but there could be some other things they transfer out). I know they do surgeries, cardiac...

4. Delivery Hospital vs Children's Hospital

   Krystljoy posted a topic in NICU

   Is one or the other better for a new grad? I have already accepted a job in a delivery hospital, but I was offered a job in a Children's hospital as well. Do you get more experience with sicker babies in a Children's hospital? I always wanted to be a...

6. Just Accepted a NICU Job!

   Krystljoy posted a topic in NICU

   Hi everyone, I have been a frequent visitor of allnurses.com for a few years, but I haven't posted much. This site is a big reason I became interested in the NICU about three years ago, and the reason I started volunteering in a NICU about 2.5 years ...

7. Anyone else have to buy a clicker for class--kinda a new wierd thing?

   Krystljoy replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Students

   We used these in our Developmental Psych class. They are pretty nifty, we used for attendance, and our instructor also used them to get quick statistics.. like how many of us smoked, how many could live without cell phones for a week, etc. So they ar...

8. John Peter Smith hospital NICU--looking for info

   Krystljoy replied to directcare4me's topic in NICU

   Ok, I'm not an RN yet but I have been to the NICU at JPS. It usually has around 15-20 babies, I think. They keep level II and level III, no level IV as far as I know. I'm not sure how easy/hard the neonates are to work with. You also might want to lo...

9. This site is too much

   I'm addicted too. It's not pretty :)

10. Suggestions of New Stethoscope?

    Krystljoy replied to Nitecap's topic in CRNA

    Hi everyone. I just came back from nursing school orientation and I'm not sure if I should spend $100 extra for the Master Cardiology or just get te Classic II SE. Is it worth the investment for a nursing student?

11. Nurses and money.......

    Krystljoy replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nursing student, not working in a hospital, so I don't know about nurses...but I think no matter which field you work in you will see this!

12. How do I KNOW???

    Krystljoy replied to Yayamaya's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm about to start the last two years of my BSN degree. I think shadowing a nurse is a great idea, I volunteered in an NICU all last summer and just being in the environment helped solidify my decision to continue with nursing. I asked the nurses...

13. Need some info for g/f

    Krystljoy replied to Phillyguy's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I should reply because I was in somewhat of the same situation. I am accepted for nursing school (the last 2 years of the BSN) this fall in Texas. My boyfriend moved to Arizona for his job and I was thinking of moving to Arizona and staying...
