2. Squeamish

   BosNsgStudent replied to jetsabel621's topic in General Nursing

   I was in the same exact position you are in when I was trying to decide about changing my major...blood and needles made me get lightheaded even just thinking about them! The first few times I was shadowing the PCA who was going to train me to draw ...

4. 1st RN Interview-ER

   BosNsgStudent replied to SleeplessNCA's topic in General Nursing

   It sounds like it went well from what you said- I have my first RN interview tomorrow afternoon for an ICU position, and I am terrified! I know all my "answers" but it's so different when you're on the spot, nervous as hell, being stared at by the p...

5. Are you aware of how you conduct yourself in public?

   BosNsgStudent replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

   Roy- yes, asking someone how they or a family member is doing in public is a privacy violation. Practice says to wait until they say hi to you first- otherwise acknowledging that someone was a patient could be giving information to people they are w...

6. Non emergent ER visits

   BosNsgStudent replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

   WOW. I am so sorry, Colleen- that is awful. I never thought an ER would treat someone the way the first one did for your mother. I hope she recovers soon!

7. Possible to get a job??

   BosNsgStudent replied to BosNsgStudent's topic in New Nurse

   The hospital # is on the website- there isn't really a direct number I can give you to someone; you have to ask for them at the main operator. Carol Bardwell is the nurse manager; Nina Thayer is a nursing supervisor who was in charge of the student ...

8. Possible to get a job??

   BosNsgStudent replied to BosNsgStudent's topic in New Nurse

   Ohh ok. Well my school has connections with them, so that's how I got an interview, and then I guess they just liked me. They weren't sure if they were going to run the student nurse program this summer but now 2 of my roommates from last year are ...

9. Possible to get a job??

   BosNsgStudent replied to BosNsgStudent's topic in New Nurse

   Working on MV for the summer is a GREAT experience. If you're looking at RN jobs at the hospital, get an ER position, the floor can be more like a nursing home, but in the busy season the ER is very fast-paced and fun to work in! The hospital provi...

10. Does "your" instead of "you're" drive anyone else nuts?

    BosNsgStudent replied to *ac*'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes!!! (Isn't this 3rd grade stuff?...)

11. Using words like honey, sweety a no-no?

    BosNsgStudent replied to bee212's topic in General Nursing

    I HATE it when anybody calls me "sweetie," "honey," or "hun"...but I also find it sort of cold to be called by my last name (maybe this will change when I'm older...I'm 22). At the same time I try to call patients by their last name, but half the ti...

12. Possible to get a job??

    BosNsgStudent posted a topic in New Nurse

    I am a 5th year senior from Northeastern and it seems that there are ZERO jobs for new grads in Boston. My first choice is Southern California but they don't seem to have any new grad jobs either! I am already wayy into the panicking stage. I have...
