   futuregaspasser replied to lenlen's topic in NCLEX

   Good luck, keeping my fingers crossed for you. My husband took 75Q mostly drugs he hadn't heard of, some priority, and he unfortunately did not make it.

2. Anyone near the St. Georges area??

   futuregaspasser replied to passing thru's topic in Utah

   I am not LDS (Mormon) and I am an RN in the hospital in St. George. The hospital does not discriminate against non-mormons. However, mormons can tend to make you feel like an outsider. That goes for everywhere in St. George.

3. Would you recommend your NICU/hospital?

   futuregaspasser replied to futuregaspasser's topic in NICU

   What is the doctor/nurse relationship like there. I am used to neo's that treat the nurses with respect and don't degrade you for "dumb" questions. Also our manager is great and supports our "down" time. She understands it is a high stress area, and ...

4. Primary nursing in the NICU

   futuregaspasser replied to KyElaine's topic in NICU

   As I mentioned in my post we have nurses float to our unit a lot and work with our grower feeders. I have had parents of my previously "primary" assignments comment to me about this, and how they seem to have a "new" (different) nurse every day. I t...

5. Primary nursing in the NICU

   futuregaspasser replied to KyElaine's topic in NICU

   Yes and no. We do primary in a perfect world. Usually though it is more like you get your same babies for the three days you work (if your days are in a row). Primary works better on the younger babies for us. By the time they are to the grower feede...

6. Nicu Salaries in Los Angeles Area

   futuregaspasser replied to moorpark's topic in NICU

   Call me naive, but why is this? Are prices of houses climbing as fast there as they are in my neck of the woods? If this is the case, our salaries have no hope of climbing, even though real estate has jumped 59% in 1 and a half years.

   Here is the deal, I am a NICU RN, DH graduates nursing school in December and is interested in Psych, but is open. I LOVE where I work, the hospital, managers, doctors, coworkers, everything (though I would like higher pay, but who wouldn't? ) Proble...

9. Former NICU moms becoming NICU nurses?

   futuregaspasser replied to fmrnicumom's topic in NICU

   I am a former NICU Mom turned NICU nurse and I have found my calling. Prior to my DD being born at 30 weeks and spending 3 1/2 weeks in NICU, I worked in the Operating Room. I swore I would never leave the O.R. until this experience. Then I said "If ...

10. Is it like this everywhere??

    futuregaspasser replied to KK7724's topic in NICU

    I just wanted to type you a quick note to tell you not to be discouraged. I am also a new grad (May of '05) working in NICU. I absolutely LOVE it and everyone in it. They are all very helpful, willing to pitch in at any moment (but not over run you) ...

    Wow! Glad I happend upon this thread. I am going to Boise in two weeks to check things out. We won't be able to move until Dec. though, as that is when DH graduates from nursing school. By the sounds of it, this is the right place for us. A lot of nu...
