   studystudy replied to jewls67's topic in NICU

   I would like these same prayers, please! :bby: :heartbeat :redbeathe Sounds like your preceptor is working well with you! I agree that 6 weeks seems short. Don't be afraid to ask for an extended orientation if you feel like you need it. :)

2. NICU Interview Help!

   studystudy replied to Brand New BSN's topic in NICU

   Well, I am a NICU nurse now.... after 3 different hospital NICU interviews! I guess sometimes the third time really is a charm. I should also say showing passion and enthusiasm is very important in NICU interviews, too. Check out the NICU forum ...

3. NICU Interview Help!

   studystudy replied to Brand New BSN's topic in NICU

   Are you a new grad? I ask because of your username, but maybe you completed a bridge program and have been working in tele. Either way, NICU is very specialized, and if you haven't worked in NICU before, you won't be expected to answer any clinical...

5. Math question I can't find the answer to!

   studystudy replied to studystudy's topic in Student Assist

   I know it's confusing! It's straight out of our study guide. I almost wonder if I'm missing a page somewhere. I've been trying to contact the education department because I'm totally stumped with the insulin equation. Thanks anyway.

7. tips on starting IV, drawing blood on obese patient

   studystudy replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

   A trick I use sometimes is putting a second tourniquet 2 inches above the first tourniquet. It can really make the veins pop. The other day I saw another nurse do a different variation of this, and she put one tourniquet above the AC (like usual), ...

8. Last Minute Job Interview - Advice!

   studystudy replied to AlyssaAnn's topic in NICU

   Congratulations on getting your first interview!! In my experience, a new grad interviewing for NICU would not get NICU scenario questions because like you said, NICU is very specialized. They know you don't have working NICU experience and you woul...

    Congratulations on your first job. You might be more excited about it if it had taken you twice as long to get hired. Take it, learn from it, do your best, and keep looking for the dream job.

12. How many of you have to pay for parking for your work?

    studystudy replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    I work downtown, and downtown areas always charge for parking. There is no employee parking at my job, AND I have to walk 1/2 mile to get from the parking garage to the front door. Kind of a pain in the butt, but we do get reimbursed $5/day for par...

    I am a new grad, with a whopping 2 months of RN experience under my belt (no acute care). On a whim, I decided to ask a nurse manager I have been in touch with for a meeting and tour of the unit. To my surprise, she agreed! Currently, this hospita...
