  3. UNM Hospital Questions

    I will be in the OR, I start the periop program in Jan. I did clinicals in peds and my capstone in medical ICU and the people in both units were very helpful and friendly. As I said before, most of the units I floated to as a tech/sitter were also fi...
  4. UNM Hospital Questions

  5. Health South Rehab Hospital?

    I started at HS in Oct as a new grad and I wouldn't call what I had orientation. The first week they used me as a sitter, the next week I had six patients then eight the next week, then 10-11 ever since. Every night was paired with a different nurse ...
  6. UNM Hospital Questions

    Your week will change each semester, but M-Th is pretty accurate for most semesters with weekends for a few clinicals in 3rd semester most likely. It is a good program with great instructors who care about your education and experience. Class time an...
  11. ABQ VA Hospital?

    I didn't work at the VA but did clinicals there. In the ICU the pt ratio was 1-2 depending on acuity. The doc/rn interaction that I observed was good, they have a lot of interns/residents and most I seen accepted input from the rn about the pt. Not s...
  12. OK we get it STUD, you're straight

    I too have noticed the need to state preference in some way and don't get it at all. If you are worried about what someone may think then why choose the career path? I know who the straight and gay men and women are in my class and at the clinicals I...
