  1. I am currently working on a tele unit, and I have about 1 year of RN experience. I have been wanting to be a trauma nurse since I started nursing school, and I originally saw myself working in the ED. Then during school, I decided that I wanted to ...
  2. I was just asking because I thought there was a chance that someone here might know the answer. Nobody's home at MONA on Saturdays, and I will call them Tues if I can't figure it out before then.
  3. I was in the trauma room and we needed a rectal temp on a trauma patient, and I lubed up the probe & handed it to the Dr (resident) because I couldn't reach around her, and she said "Where do I put it?" The patient was already log-rolled onto hi...
  4. I can't log in to the MONA website. If I paid for the full membership of ANA, including a state membership, does anyone know how can I log in to the state site? TIA!
  5. Thanks. I am looking at the ANA website right now, and I have another question. I live in KS, and work in MO, and I have a 2-yr contract, so I will be working at least another 1-1/2 yrs in MO. I am looking for a PRN position on the KS side. Shoul...
  6. I am a fairly new nurse (graduated in Sept last year, and passed boards in Oct), and I am currently in a nurse residency program working as a Clinical Nurse RN on a step-down/telemetry unit. I just had my name placed on the wait list to get transfer...
  7. I graduated from nursing school 6 mos ago, and I got hired in Jan at one of my top 2 hospitals of choice! However, I applied for days, and they offered me nights, which I accepted, just b/c I wanted this job so badly. I've never worked nights in my...
  8. Uhhh...wasn't going to bury my nose in a book. Just wanted a quick reference for drugs, labs, etc.
  9. I'm looking for a pocket reference for tele nurses. I'm a fairly new grad, and I work in a tele/step-down unit. I wanted something with the most commonly-referred to info for cardiac meds, labs, etc. What do you recommended? (BTW, I prefer the ones t...
  10. I am SO excited! I just got a nursing residency position in the telemetry department at a big teaching hospital in my area. I graduated in Sept, and have been looking for a FT RN position like crazy ever since. This hospital just started a nursing...
  11. My God, these family members!!

    So, did you kiss this doc as he was on his way out? I would have!
  12. I start orientation at my 1st position tomorrow in a local LTC facility (while I look for a FT job in a hospital). Even though I'm disappointed not to have a hospital job yet, I am starting to get excited for tomorrow! I'm also very nervous. I enjoye...
  13. Wow. Our clinical instructors kept us in line a lot better than some, apparently. The students in our group NEVER would have taken a chair at the nurses station. We would have gotten our butts chewed (and rightfully so) if we had been caught stand...
  14. I've applied for a bunch of jobs in the last few weeks. I think the 10 year gap in employment (due to being a stay-at-home-mom) is my problem (not to mention no one seems to want new grads). I am going to try addressing this on my next few applicat...
  15. Don't be hard on yourself. You could tell her what you just told us, and then say that you will go ahead and reposition the patient in the future. I just finished nursing school less than a month ago (yippee!), and I will tell you one thing I learn...
