   BahoRN replied to iselamunoz_13's topic in General Students

   If you're actively in a nursing program, you can apply for patient care technician or nursing aide positions as a 'student nurse'. No experience or certificates needed.

3. precepting nurses to MED SURG

   BahoRN replied to mamamiah's topic in Med-Surg

   Like any other area of nursing, there are the good nurses and the bad nurses. Hopefully, you find yourself within a great group who support and can lean on each other. Don't beat yourself up about not going into Med/Surg. Most graduates these days sc...

   BahoRN replied to BambiBelle07's topic in Career Support

   What position are you applying for?

5. pls.critique my resume

   BahoRN replied to charr-RN's topic in Job Hunt

   You've forgotten to list your objectives. As a graduate nurse, it is doubtful you are established in patient education. I would advise omitting this wording. Provide the name of the electronic documentation systems you have worked with. Provide your ...

6. HCA Hospitals

   BahoRN replied to klandRN2014's topic in Florida

   Don't know about the northeast, however from what i've experienced salaries are competitive, CEU's and classes were provided constantly, computer charting system is horrible, at one facility they spent money on sometimes the weirdest, non-pratical te...

7. If I am aiming to be an RN, should I get my ASN or BSN?

   BahoRN replied to alconos's topic in Pre-Nursing

   As with many other things, it depends a lot on the school you're attending, and the city you live in. But, that aside, I had no experience in health care when deciding to become a nurse. For this reason, I took the 2 year ASN course, graduated, found...

8. precepting nurses to MED SURG

   BahoRN replied to mamamiah's topic in Med-Surg

   There will be a lot of dealing with other disciplines. I would recommend being open to asking for help and info (loose any ego you may have) & be open to forming healthy relationships with RT, your CNAs, your unit secretary, PT, Dietary, and the ...

9. There's just one more thing....

   BahoRN replied to cdsga's topic in Job Hunt

   NOADLS, aren't you the same nurse who stated in a previous post that you would never change a patient's brief? It would be very wise to keep your identity hidden, forever.

    LOL!! ha ha. Thanks for the laugh - that was cute

11. Care Planning

    BahoRN replied to lyndielu03's topic in Hospice

    Those are, pardon my french, but very crappy and vague goals. Goals need to be measurable and time specific. "Pain will be managed for duration of care" What is the current pain level, how will you know it needs to be managed, how long is the duratio...

12. Problems regarding IV pump systems

    BahoRN replied to BMT4's topic in Infusion

    One other thing you can do is go over to the medical center and look at the pumps and poles. Speak to the nurses working with them and see what they tell you.

13. Problems regarding IV pump systems

    BahoRN replied to BMT4's topic in Infusion

    As I stated in my previous post, this is not a clinical area of concern that I've ever come across. I know of no research on it either. You may have to run google searches. Another possibility is to log on to your school's library and run searches th...

14. No RN coverage in LTC facility

    BahoRN replied to NurseQT's topic in LPN/LVN

    Speak to you DON about your concerns and she what he/she advises. There should be a written protocol regarding this type of situation. See if you can get your hands on a copy and have it at home. Should anything happen in the future (which I hope it ...

15. Giving Report

    BahoRN replied to BoyNamedSue's topic in Geriatric

    I've never worked in LTC so i'm not aware of acceptable repotting practices in these types of facilities. Working in acute care, so many changes take place during the shift, your nursing 'brain', which is your paper on each patient, is very important...
