1. New to home care and freaking out because of the documation

   nyemt2005 replied to PeacockMaiden's topic in Home Health

   That doesn't sound like a great orientation. I just recently started at a certified home health agency, and we're doing at least 6 weeks of co-visits and documentation training before they begin to start letting us take on our own case load. I feel l...

2. RN's forced to do CNA work

   nyemt2005 replied to rnckr's topic in New Nurse

   It's not as bad as taking an agency RN on the night shift making 60+ bucks an hour and having them sit on monitors for the shift. Now that is a waste of resources.

5. Critical Care Experience

   nyemt2005 replied to nyemt2005's topic in Flight

   Thanks for the responses. I do have a lot of experience in the pre-hospital setting as an EMT although at the basic level. I have the opportunity to start as a new grad in a small ICU at a community hospital. I think I'm just going to start there and...

6. Advice

   nyemt2005 posted a topic in Cardiac

   so I have to decide between two new grad job offers. The ICU in a small community hospital that is closer to much bigger tertiary facilities, or a telemetry floor in a large busy hospital that is considered a Top 100 Cardiovascular Hospital. I feel l...

   nyemt2005 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm currently in my last semester of my RN program and in the process of interviewing for jobs when I graduate. I was just offered a position in the ICU of a small community hospital. My goal is to be in a critical care area with the hope of some day...

8. Critical Care Experience

   nyemt2005 posted a topic in Flight

   I know you need a few years of critical care experience before you would be considered for a flight position. My question is, does the size of the hospital you gain this critical care experience in matter? Will 3 years of ICU in a small community hos...

10. Branches that accept ADN

    nyemt2005 posted a topic in Government

    Do any of the branches accept ADN level RN's, or is it a BSN across the board. I understand active duty requires a BSN, but I've heard the Air National Guard brings in ADN nurses. Can anyone clarify this for me, thank you.

11. After 20 MONTHS of job search.....i give up.

    nyemt2005 replied to skny's topic in New York

    I live in the Albany area and from talking to new grad nurses who graduated in the class ahead of me, it seems like everyone is finding jobs.

13. Previous Bachelors degree going into nursing - do I need a BSN or just an ADN?

    nyemt2005 replied to k.ronning's topic in General Nursing

    this is an old post but I had a BA in Psychology and decided just to go do the associates because the school was affordable, nearby and it has a very good reputation for putting out good nurses in this area. I figure when I finish I can always contin...

    nyemt2005 replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm taking A&P II at UAlbany since that is where I took A&P I. I figured it would keep things in order. I'm taking Micro at HVCC though.
