  1. Student Helpers

    What about changing your bulletin board? Posting health and nutrition facts in the bathrooms?
  2. Getting out just in time!

    That's not a guarantee. I had a student come in complaining of ear pain. No fever. Tympanic membrane looked fine. Sent student back. Called Mom just to inform and she decided to pick up student. Turns out LD was complaining about a scratch behind her...
  3. Peanut allergy issue

    My kid has a dairy allergy. I don't think requesting a dairy free elementary school would go over very well at all! 😆
  4. What do NICU nurses consider "viability"?

    I was taught in school that 26 weeks is viability. Is that viability in the real world? I know everyone wants full term, but if you or your wife was expecting, at what point in gestation would you exhale and feel confident in a good outcome if your b...

  6. Wssu fnp program fall 2013

    Hello. Can someone tell me how many days a week are the classes? Thanks!
  7. How to get into MS from Psych? Killer Resume?

    I hope you have found something by now, but honestly, in my opinion the resume is mostly a formality. Getting a job is more about who you know than what you know. Yes, I am fairly new to nursing, but in my short time in this industry I have not seen ...
  8. New Grad Med Surg Nurse Freaking Out!

    Wow, this is SO helpful!
  9. Best training ground for PICU wannabe

    Thanks for all the advice. And even though I truly, deep down didn't think it would happen to me for a handful of reasons, the new grad market claimed me too. I had big dreams, but my eyes are wide open. Neither opportunity (peds or nicu) presented i...
  10. Expiration date on RN license

    It has to do with your birthday month, I believe. The same thing happened with me & a classmate.
  11. Ordering used text books on Amazon??

    I have done it. I usually bought a previous one and saved a ton. Mental health book was only $5! I did, however, buy the current edition of the Med/Surg book. I thought that was worth the investment. I also rented a textbook. That works too if you ar...
  12. Time til you got your ATT

    Paid in March. Graduated 5/3. ATT 5/7. NCLEX this week.
  13. Best training ground for PICU wannabe

    Unfortunately, this is the Children's hospital. They don't hire new grads in PICU. My family situation (and the housing market debacle ) will not permit me to relocate. I have to position myself using the opportunities I have available to my locally....
  14. Best training ground for PICU wannabe

    LOL... yes. I was posting with three hours of sleep over two days. I meant for the poll to say "Peds" or NICU and I couldn't get back to the poll to fix it and also couldn't figure out how to delete the whole post and start over. Thanks so much for ...
  15. Best training ground for PICU wannabe

    Hello everyone. I would like some advice please. I am aware of the current new grad job market so I realize my question is potentially purely hypothetical. However, I am a strong candidate among my new grad peers and I firmly believe that having fait...
