   NICU Orientation

   KJM-RN replied to babyRN0404's topic in NICU

   I won't be starting in NICU until 2 weeks from now so I don't know the rules of preceptors in the NICU I'm going into, other than the 2 preceptors I am currently assigned to work with have many years experience (over 10). I was told I will not be in...

   Is my GPA important?

   KJM-RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I agree that GPA does matter. I have 2 years experience as an RN and recently went on an interview where my GPA was discussed during the interview. Not sure if it was a huge factor in me being hired, but they did ask me about it. I imagine it matt...

   Resignation Notice

   KJM-RN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have accepted a position in the hospital I have always wanted to work at. I am currently employed and have been getting mixed answers as to how much notice to give to my current employer. The new hospital wants me to start July 2nd, which would a...

   KJM-RN replied to KJM-RN's topic in Geriatric

   This is exactly my point. I get I did something wrong, according to their standards. I won't ever do it again, even though patients and residents get quite irritated when I have to wheel them back to their room and shut the door to give them insuli...

   KJM-RN posted a topic in Geriatric

   I am a new grad RN working in LTC (mostly in the short term rehab units, but I float to LTC as well). I will first admit that I do not want to be working in this field, but with an associates degree it was all I could land... now I really want out. ...

   new job/new grad/night shift

   KJM-RN replied to anashenwrath's topic in Geriatric

   I have recently started in a facility that sounds just like yours. On the subacute rehab units there is another nurse during the night, but LTC units have only one nurse. My ADON told me she doesn't like to put new nurses on nights because they are...

   Does it matter which school I get BSN from to get into ICU?

   KJM-RN replied to b_m_prosepct's topic in CCU

   What about a "big-named" state school? Many state schools have great reputations. I wouldn't expect to get a job based upon the school you went to for your bachelors, but rather just having a BSN and working your way into the cardiac ICU will do it...

    Starting in a Nursing home vs. Starting in a Hospital

    KJM-RN replied to sunshyne17's topic in Geriatric

    I'll be starting my first nursing job in a nursing home doing subacute rehab in 2 days. Although it is far from my long term goal of being a Neonatal NP, I feel it will teach me a lot and give me a good start. Hospital jobs are hard to get for new ...

    ACLS certification

    KJM-RN replied to Rock1026's topic in New Nurse

    I wouldn't worry too much then. If they didn't give you the book before the class then they're probably going to walk you through everything during the class. It really was not half as bad as everyone made it out to be to me. Good luck

    ACLS certification

    KJM-RN replied to Rock1026's topic in New Nurse

    I just took ACLS as a new grad. I read most of the book before the class and feel like it was somewhat needed. Honestly the course wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Just make sure you know ECG's and the drugs used during a code. Did ...

    New Grads how is your job search going?

    KJM-RN replied to Roce20's topic in New York

    Sent out hundreds of applications to hospitals, drove all over to hand my résumé in, in person, no response. Put in one application to subacute rehab and got hired within a few weeks. Extend your search beyond hospitals, you'll gain experience and ...

    How Did You Get a Job at a North Shore-LIJ Hospital??

    KJM-RN replied to PurpleDelight's topic in New York

    How did you get the name and number of the recruiter? I can figure it out at other hospitals, but can't seem to figure out who the recruiters are for North Shore LIJ.
