   I'm thinking either alarm fatigue or nursing retention but are these topics beat to death too?

2. MSN/MSM Capstone Ideas

   lilcampy310 posted a topic in Post Graduate

   Hey everyone! I have started trying to think about topics for my capstone (I will be taking it next spring) and I am at a total loss. I am currently in an MSN/MSM program for nursing leadership/administration and I have been a MICU nurse for 5 year...

5. Areas more likely to hire new grads in ICU

   lilcampy310 replied to DeepBreath's topic in Job Hunt

   I started in the ICU as a new graduate, but I had other experience (PCA, EMT, extern). I would only apply to hospitals that have new graduate critical care programs (internships, etc.) or the smaller community hospitals. I started in a small communit...

6. Resume Help!!!

   lilcampy310 replied to kim.k25's topic in Job Hunt

   I would just list them under clinical or even a preceptorship section - You can provide a little information about them, but you don't need a lot of space for them. I had a nurse recruiter tell me that they don't need to see all of your clinical info...

7. Rotating Shifts

   lilcampy310 replied to lilcampy310's topic in Job Hunt

   That's all I can seem to find in Baltimore & Philly (and NY too!) - I think it's terrible. Where is your neck of the woods? Maybe I should go there lol

8. Rotating Shifts

   lilcampy310 posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Hello all - I have been an RN in the ICU at my community hospital for 2 years now. I like it, but I want to move on to a bigger, city, teaching hospital. Mostly all of the places I'm looking in (Philly, Baltimore) have rotating shifts (I just don't g...

9. Different state licenses

   lilcampy310 posted a topic in Travel

   I am looking into travel nursing- I get the feeling it's necessary to already have your state licenses in order to apply to a particular job? It's so tedious and expensive to apply to all the different state licenses. I currently have NJ and applied...

10. Rotating shifts

    lilcampy310 replied to lilcampy310's topic in Job Hunt

    Hmm good to know! I'll have to find out more information. I think I could handle it if it was just a couple of shifts a month. My best friend works at a well-known hospital in Philly doing rotating shifts. Everyone on her unit rotates, regardless of ...

11. Applying for a license

    lilcampy310 replied to lilcampy310's topic in Maryland

    Will do, thank you! And I was able to clarify - I can get my prints here (phew) Just for the record, this is so ridiculous to me- we get the same education and same license anywhere you are in the US! They just want our money.

12. Rotating shifts

    lilcampy310 posted a topic in Job Hunt

    Hello all, I am soon going to be looking for a new job and would LOVE to be in a big teaching hospital. But so many of them (UMMC, Hopkins, UPenn) mostly have rotating shifts posted. I think they are so ridiculous and unsafe! Why do they do that?! W...

13. Applying for a license

    lilcampy310 posted a topic in Maryland

    Hello all! I have some (dumb) questions to ask, but I'm confused! I currently hold a NJ RN license and want to get my RN license for MD. The first step is a packet they sent me for the fingerprinting/background check. I assume I still have to do t...

14. Travel RN ICU/PACU

    lilcampy310 replied to lilcampy310's topic in Travel

    If I don't decide to do travel nursing right now, then that is exactly my plan! :)

15. In a BSN program..

    lilcampy310 replied to NurseLys27's topic in CNA/MA

    Many hospitals won't take you until you complete your first clinical (which I know at TCNJ isn't unil spring soph. year). Another option is to take an EMT course and gain experience that way- I know it's outside of the hospital, but it's still great ...
