2. New Grad Transition

   sweetsabo posted a topic in General Students

   I'm working on a project, and I am hoping for feedback. This project is focused on newly graduated nursing students who are licensed and ready to find their first job. I am focusing mostly on RNs, but LVNs, LPNs, and CNAs are a consideration, as we...

3. New TV Show- Nurse Nation on MTV

   sweetsabo replied to kingofthekicks20's topic in Travel

   3 of the nurses were on my floor at my hospital. Trust me when I say that they were bored stiff and lazy. Any and all drama was created or played up. What would you expect from a "reality" TV show. They were, however, real RN's on a travel contract....

   I guess I'll believe it when I see it. I'm interested in seeing how it all pans out with HIPAA and stuff.

5. New TV Show- Nurse Nation on MTV

   sweetsabo replied to kingofthekicks20's topic in Travel

   The focus is on the nursing profession - not the diseases, not the docs, not the patients. Nurse Jackie gave nurses a bad name, and this is an opportunity to present RN's in a good light. This is a "docu-series".

6. how to make it clear when call doctor

   sweetsabo replied to neurontin's topic in CCU

   I feel for you. I am a new grad (8 months) on the DOU/Telemetry floor of a trauma hospital. MOST of our doctors are nice, and I work the day shift, so it's a bit easier to communicate. I once called a doc near the end of my shift to tell the doc t...

   sweetsabo replied to sweetsabo's topic in Pediatric

   Thank you, ocean waves, for your thoughtful response. I am having my pinning ceremony this Thursday, and I'm so excited that I've finished my grueling RN program! I did 100 hours of preceptorship in the Emergency Room, and I did great! I loved it,...

   sweetsabo replied to sweetsabo's topic in PICU

   Thanks for the feedback, Chickidee! I'm currently doing my preceptorship in the ER, and I love it. I love the fast pace and some of the crazy people that come in - haha! Right now I'm just building my confidence when doing skills and working on so...

9. PICU, NICU, CVICU, or ???

   sweetsabo replied to sweetsabo's topic in PICU

   I LOVED my rotation in the PICU. I loved everything about it - my nurse, my kids, their parents. The next week I went to CVICU. It was my last day, so I left the floor early, and PICU is still my favorite. I just started my preceptorship in the E...

10. PICU, NICU, CVICU, or ???

    sweetsabo replied to sweetsabo's topic in Pediatric

    As a matter of fact, I have one day in the NICU, one day in the PICU, one day on the oncology floor, and two days on the med-surg floor. I hope to get a flavor for it!

    Hi all, I am about to graduate from RN school (ADN) in December. All this time I thought I wanted to be an ER nurse. As I begin my pediatric rotation, I feel this emerging passion to work with kiddos. I am strongly drawn to the NICU, PICU, and CVI...
