1. ED Cheat sheet?

   caseywestt replied to MILOBRI's topic in Emergency

   Cheat sheets aren't very useful in the ED. Honestly, you don't have time to write too much down because we see so many patients in one day. I am a new grad as well and what I have found helpful is just making a to do list for each patient once i have...

2. Any good ER reads?

   caseywestt replied to jrsRN07's topic in Emergency

   Fast facts for the ER nurse! I am a new grad in the ER and I keep it with me when on the floor. It's a good quick reference as far as making sure you're ordering the right labs and anticipating what meds/procedures might be ordered. It also has a few...

3. Urgent Please help. What type of questions can they ask in my interview?

   caseywestt replied to NursingBro's topic in Job Hunt

   Every interview is different! It depends what hospital, what department, etc. If this is your first interview, be prepared for screening types of questions. Be able to explain why you want the position, why you are a good fit for the hospital, know t...

   I saw that as well. I'm not sure but you could always try contacting HR to find out for sure. Wasn't one of the positions for ICU? I did hear that the new grad ICU positions were full, but in not positive! Couldn't hurt to apply (: good luck!

7. Interviewing for ER Residency

   caseywestt replied to daisyfleur70's topic in Emergency

   I recently interviewed for an ER spot in a versant program and I got it! Out of the different units that I interviewed for, I would have to say that ER was the most intimidating. For my second interviews (with the units) some are only with the floor ...

   Well, technically two interviews. But for my second interview the ED and float pool will be on the panel (at least that's what they said). Thanks so much for your help! :)

11. I feel very overwhelmed about my clinicals.

    caseywestt replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students

    Always brush up on your skills BEFORE clinical! (: Showing up and not knowing what your doing is pretty humiliating, everyone has been there at least once. Obviously, its hard to read something in a book and then know how to do it online. If you're r...

    caseywestt replied to theMRchris's topic in California

    Loved WCU! I recently graduated (november 2012 cohort NOHO campus), passed my boards within two weeks of graduating, and already have interviews lined up. It's not an easy program, I don't think I've ever had to work harder for something in my life. ...
