3. incident report

   RNmb replied to AllAngelsRN's topic in General Nursing

   From the sounds of it, this would have essentially happened the same way on my unit. Lab does cancel ordered labs without informing the floor or the MD, most of the time because they were duplicate orders (ex: a CMP ordered after a BMP, so the BMP wo...

   RNmb replied to Maycee's topic in Med-Surg

   I am a charge nurse which on my floor means bedding patients and assisting in any way needed on the floor. We have unit clerks that enter orders for us and the RN assigned to that patient is responsible for signing them off. We also do 12 hour chart ...

   RNmb replied to niteowlrn29's topic in Cardiac

   I went through the same exact scenario except I trained to charge at 8 months on my post-surgical step-down telemetry unit. We have 25 patients, so we go up to 6 RN's and 2 CNA's on nights. I was given 3 days of orientation (which weren't the greates...

   Did you look at Salem Hospital? I know they have several openings, including some in critical care. The even says "Open to new grads." It's probably worth a look.

8. Is it worth it to obtain a masters in nursing education?

   RNmb replied to Sirapples's topic in General Nursing

   Keep in mind also that I don't believe Walden is accredited. I could be wrong about that, but that's what I have heard. So you might want to check into that before starting something long term that would require your school to be accredited.

9. How long does it take to become a surgical nurse?

   RNmb replied to carissabest's topic in General Nursing

   At my hospital, they currently have openings for an internship in the OR that I believe you have to only have one year of experience (or maybe even less). The internship is for 6 months and it's a combination of classroom and OR time. After the inter...

10. RN needs advice- family history

    RNmb replied to RNmb's topic in Oncology

    That helps a lot, thanks! Basically they told us that my mom is the only one who should be tested for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and then if she is negative, then I would be too. But, she recommended me getting the other tests. Also, she recommended t...

12. Stick with it... it's worth it

    RNmb replied to RNmb's topic in New Nurse

    Ask questions! I ask questions whenever I don't know something because how else are you going to learn it? It's better to ask when you have the change rather than wait for the time when you get into trouble to learn it. Also, if I hear someone is doi...

    I just passed my one year mark! Graduated with my BSN June 2008, passed the NCLEX and started my first job as an RN on a Surgical Telemetry floor (step-down unit) in July 08. The reason I am posting this is because though I was a good student and had...

14. Changing Friendship

    RNmb replied to Student2Registered's topic in New Nurse

    I experienced the same thing. Since we lived in a rural community (where our school was) and we only had 30 people in our class, a group of us spent almost every waking moment together. We did all our school stuff together and spent a lot of time out...
