   I am looking for a Epocrates discount code that works for Spring term 2010. Any help? Our school gave us a 10% code but I heard that our affiliated medical school gets 30-50% discount. Thanks! SpudId

   SpudID replied to SpudID's topic in NP

   Thanks so much for the replies. It sounds like be careful with book purchases; I already have a Littman cardiology III steth; and buy "good" lab coats. I haven't used a lab coat since nursing school. What makes a good lab coat and how many, 3? THANKS...

5. DNP's failing the test????

   SpudID replied to physasst's topic in Doctoral

   What would be the purpose of taking this exam? Is it only for credibility in the medical community or does it assist in billing purposes? Just curious as to why a person with a DNP would be motivated to take this exam?

8. cheap scrubs

   SpudID replied to SpudID's topic in Oregon

   Thanks for all your help. I looked at Goodwill and they were about $4-7. I looked online and found scrubs for $3.99/top/bottom from Lydia's. So got whole outfits for $8.00 and the kids chose their colors. It was more convenient and I didn't have to p...

   I am nurse in Portland and my scrubs are provided by the hospital. My family and I are going on a family medical mission trip in January. I am looking for some cheap scrubs (4 pr/person). I only have two sets of scrubs and 4 others that will work. Do...

10. Best Bsn Program In Portland?

    SpudID replied to NOINU's topic in Oregon

    Just my two cents, I feel that OHSU RN New Grads come in with a lot of floor experience. I graduated from Linfield and felt my lack of clinical experience was disappointing. Having said that, I chose Linfield because I wanted a school that would embr...

11. Ohsu

    SpudID replied to cardiacnurse9063's topic in Oregon

    Although the two hospitals are in close location, they are two different buildings with different ways of running, charting, benefits, etc... I work at OHSU and continue to hear good things about the VA, their orientation and their benefits. While I ...

13. NPEC's at OHSU

    SpudID replied to cardiacnurse9063's topic in Oregon

    I know you asked this awhile ago. I work at OHSU and our NPEC does a lot of the skutt work that the manager does not want to do. It is not necessarily bad but some of it can be a bit time consuming. The upside is you are involved in a lot of manageme...

14. New Grad opportunities in Oregon

    SpudID replied to BonnieSc's topic in Oregon

    Salem Hospital recruits heavily, has a relocation package, offers mentoring as well as precepting, and offers loan repayment options (or at least they offered all of these in 2005).

15. Portland hospital reviews

    SpudID replied to inspir8tion's topic in Oregon

    I work at OHSU and love the client population. We serve largely disenfranchised populations and it is always a challenge with multiple languages and cultures. The residents are usually good to work with and give as well as receive new information oft...
