   Thanks for the responses! That's what I've been doing, but I am going to get that list so I know for the future...

4. Nursing preceptor says no to certain abbreviations

   cozzy66 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hey all, I know there are a number of threads regarding nursing abbreviations, but I think this one might be slightly different. I'm a new nurse, still on orientation. My preceptor has been telling me that I should not/can not use certain abbreviat...

   sunny is going to give a lecture about integration sometime in october or november, but basically anywhere you do your integration, if they like you, you will get a job there. if you don't want nyp, you request non-nyp hospitals, and you can name wh...

   cozzy66 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

   I got a job straight out of school in the ER in NYC. Many places officially say that they will not hire you to the ER without experience, but if you get to an open house, you can possibly convince them or find someone who doesn't share that sentimen...

   cozzy66 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

   As a new RN it is very difficult to get a job part-time. I think approx half our class either took the year off and is working full-time (which means they work at their job for 2 years+ before becoming NPs) and the other half is working full-time and...

   Hi all, I'm a new grad and I just started my first job - ER in big city hospital. Yesterday was my first day and my preceptor told me I would place an IV. I've done this a lot in my final practicum with a couple of seasoned nurses in another ER in ...

   cozzy66 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

   Yes you can switch specialties in Columbia. If you are in the FNP track and decide Pediatrics is right for you, it's not a problem. You can not switch into CRNA or midwifery track if you are not accepted to it. There are so many specialties for th...

    cozzy66 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

    Well in Columbia Presby a lot of grads left after a year, I guess to pursue NP jobs. In Cornell I guess they had a couple of grads in their ER who didn't know how to do basic things. Also, a lot of nurses don't agree with accelerated programs like ...

    cozzy66 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

    I know CRNA is hard to get into and I think there were only 10 ETP students from my year going in. It is also a great program, from what I've heard. I know a couple of students who actually switched out of CRNA, because they decided it wasn't for ...

    SFChef, I am in the Masters portion right now. Unfortunately I could not take a year off, because of my time frame for finishing school. My specialty is Acute Care and I don't like how it's being run. What specialty are you going for? I think mos...

    cozzy66 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate

    Tanguera, I just finished the ETP portion of the program. Obviously there are pros and cons to any school, Columbia not excluded. I think before you go and rack up tens of thousands of dollars in loans, you should really consider whether this is so...

    To clarify on SteveRN21's post, you don't need a science related degree, any BA, BS, BBA, etc will do.
