  1. The program takes 11 months. Its doable we had people from ohio, arizona and california in the program. They flew in for clinicals the clinicals are 3 days a week for 6x weeks.
  2. Waiting a year to take TNCC?

    That's a hospital policy. Probably because they don't want to pay for it if you aren't going to tough it out in the er.
  3. medication to dry up breast milk?

    My ob had me take sudafed and I dried up in 2 days with no discomfort. :)
  4. I would apply for a transfer. You gain er experience and you can see if you like the flow of the er. It is a huge change from working the floor. If questioned by your manager just say that you like working on the telemetry unit you want to expand you...
  5. Interesting situation in my interview for a job...

    To be honest I wouldn't work there. I'm sure that you showed up and behaved in a way that was the best you can be. That's what people do at interviews. I'm sure she was probably on her best behavior since an interview is a two way street. If she act...

  14. KC hospitals

    I hope that your interview at SMMC goes better than mine. Nothing like being yelled at by a person that isn't your boss yet. But the hospital looks clean and nice.

    Hospitals in this area like to "promote from within" and L&D is a highly sought after position so typically you have to work at that hospital to get an interview. Maybe you could apply for other areas to get your foot in the door at a hospital n...
