  1. New Grad ED internship interview

    Hey, it sounds like you have a lot more going for you then your competition. Most people do not have TNCC, PALS, ACLS until they are part of an internship or have been working in the ED for awhile. I think that is impressive in itself. My suggesti...
  2. Job searching & looking for inside opinions

    Don't get discouraged about how long it has been since you passed your boards. The nurse managers and recruiters understand its difficult to get a job right out of school and they won't hold it against you.
  3. ENA Conference Baltimore

    I live close enough to drive down for the day. So can you tell me how much it will be just to attend for a day? I've heard it is expensive, but I'm new to ER nursing and I really want to go.
  4. Christiana Care Internships for new Grads

    They are interviewing in April or May so don't get to worried if you don't hear anything right away. A lot of people apply to these and only a few get selected, so following up is a really good idea.
  5. Orbital skin tear

    I had a resident with edema to her legs and feet, which was seeping so bad it was actually dripping on the floor leaving small puddles. Anything that rubbed against her legs would tear her skin off including taking off pants or socks. Her skin was ...
  6. Have A Lot Of Worries

    There was a ton of job postings for nurses before I started nursing school. That was very encouraging, but after a few years it changed and when I graduated there were very few positions. By the time you are finished school things will probably tur...
  7. This is a great question and idea. I'm going to look into these also.
  8. job etiquette question

    I wouldrather do another year of nursing school then hunt for a job. This stresses me out! I know exactly what you mean! Job hunting is the worst especially when you worked so hard for so long thinking you would have a job before graduation. You wi...
  9. I think I am tougher internally, meaning I can endure more then I previously could. I hate confrontation unless it is absolutely necessary.
  10. Almost finished and want to quit

    You can always change your mind about nursing once you finish school, but if you drop out now you won't have a choice and you might regret it later. Your loans will be the same whether you drop out now or finish the next three months, right???
  11. Skin cancer risks question,..I am confused

    If the choice was superficial scar tissue in an area that had never been injured or operated on-then yes, but it only said superficial scar tissue? I probably would have chosen the Freckles option also. That is tricky.
  12. hours of sleep you get per night in RN school?

    I would get 7 to 8 hours if I didn't have to work the next morning. I took evening classes. I am one of those people that functions better with 8 hours of sleep and one hour of studying then 5 hours of sleep and four hours of studying. I only had ...
  13. How honest would you be in this situation?

    Yeah, I over-analyze everything. I'm working on that!:)
  14. How honest would you be in this situation?

    Thank you... I just feel like its to good to be true or something. This doesn't happen to me!
  15. How honest would you be in this situation?

    So you guys think a nurse manager would already know when they made the decision? So if it came up again it wouldn't hurt anything right?
