1. Being put Oncall too often

   lovethepeople replied to AnnieLau's topic in California

   I work in California and we get canceled on my unit when the census is low too...I remember a couple of months ago somebody did post a message from EDD (that's who handles unemployment, as you may know) about filing claims because your employer calls...

2. Prep for ACLS certification

   lovethepeople replied to EDRN-2010's topic in General Nursing

   I agree that you do not need an EKG class to take ACLS. As previous poster said, you need to know some basic rhythms and those you can learn on-line or in a book. If you want to take an EKG class to stand out, it may help. I am not sure how much it h...

4. computer charting and having a brain

   lovethepeople replied to mzjennx's topic in New Nurse

   Lucky you-- I love Kaiser's computer charting (and lucky you in Hawaii!)! I did a 9 month gig there and thought it was great. I worked in a step-down unit so I ended up using the attached sheet (Brain-1); I guess you can photocopy it to the other sid...

5. Support Stickie for New nurses who are not coping

   lovethepeople replied to madwife2002's topic in New Nurse

   I can completely relate! Even though I know it doesn't help to worry, the med surg floor I'm on is so disorganized and overwhelming (even the nurses who have been there for years say so) that I am just always stressed out. I have a couple of days off...

6. Low Census??

   lovethepeople replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

   I'm at a small private hospital in Northern California on a med-surg and nurses have been called off left and right because of the low census. People are definitely nervous and I feel bad for the new grads because the situation isn't getting better a...

    lovethepeople replied to ibme's topic in New Nurse

    I am staring on a med-surg floor which was not my first, second or third choice (lol) but in this tough economy, I cannot complain! Good luck new grads-- I applied to this job in April and the offer came in July. I know it's so frustrating and I am ...

14. Who has heard from Stanford New Grad Program?

    lovethepeople replied to lovethepeople's topic in New Nurse

    Yes, it is sadly true. The market is downright scary in the Bay Area right now. I have applied to dozens of jobs here and outside of the area. I had an internship but that does not seem to be helping much right now. I think those that precept at plac...

15. Who has heard from Stanford New Grad Program?

    lovethepeople posted a topic in New Nurse

    I was just wondering if anybody has heard from the Stanford (not Lucille Packard) new grad program yet. They took down the posting for it on Tuesday-- thank goodness I got my application in though! It's just all so brutal out there! Good luck!
