1. Getting my foot in the door...

   Guest20074 replied to Guest20074's topic in Informatics

   I've read the thread twice actually. I went over to ANIA site, but I thought I would ask anyway since there are no NI jobs where currently I live (I plan on moving when I finish my BSN) and I was hoping to get some experience in an adjacent field an...

5. As a nurse, would you go on for an MD?

   Guest20074 replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

   But you also have to take into consideration as well whether or not the school has a "cap" on these classes. Some do and the school I went to did. When I was taking my pre-reqs for my diploma and BSN programs, I knew a medic who had to retake A&...

6. Are there more opportunities for BS nurses?

   Thank you so much. This is what I was looking for.

7. Are there more opportunities for BS nurses?

   Guest20074 posted a topic in Career Support

   I'm very much aware of the opportunities BS nurses have in nursing, but are there any opportunities for BS nurses out side of nursing? Are there any other professions that will take a nursing degree as an education requirement?

8. What type of nursing is best for an introvert?

   Guest20074 replied to Llynn's topic in General Nursing

   NO!! You do deal less with patients' families, but the surgeons can be even worse. As an OR nurse, you're there for safety reasons and you *HAVE* to have the courage to speak up when you see that something is wrong.

10. Getting back into the hospital

    Guest20074 replied to Sunflower3's topic in Agency

    I originally did Surgical Stepdown with a lot of medicine initially, so when I joined the agency I decided to do Med/Surg. The only orientation I got was on the Psych unit where I was oriented to some of their computer systems and their medicine kar...

11. Getting back into the hospital

    Guest20074 replied to Sunflower3's topic in Agency

    For some reason I couldn't edit my original post, so I'll just type it here in a second post. I too had been out of nursing for a year so I could work on pursuing my BSN and I've started doing med-surg for an agency while doing so. Someone on the b...

    Guest20074 replied to Sunflower3's topic in Agency

    I would certainly like to hear other's opinion on this. I'm sort of in the same situation myself.

    We use Techni-care in our OR quite a bit. Very effective and I love the fact that it's a very versatile cleaner too.

14. Stick it out in the OR or not?

    Guest20074 replied to Chloe07's topic in Operating Room

    I disagree. Smaller O.R.'s often do not have first assistants, which means if you scrub, you will often have to first assist and scrub at the same time which is very difficult for a new nurse. Surgeries usually take longer in teaching hospitals, w...

15. Stick it out in the OR or not?

    Guest20074 replied to Chloe07's topic in Operating Room

    I'm in currently in the same boat myself and I've decided that maybe going to a smaller OR would be a good thing for me. If in the end it doesn't work out for you at the large teaching hospital, lots of smaller ORs are hiring nurses.
