   RN1485 replied to RN1485's topic in Case Management

   Both of the interviewers were nurses and yeah the questions weren’t hard, but my brain wasn’t functioning and I choked! I thought I was going to have a discussion about the job and how my experience could benefit them, not an oral pop quiz on medical...

    Thanks for your response. Even though you work peds, it's definitely applicable to my situation. Sometimes (I've noticed) that many of these pts don't have a central line. The physician doesn't want to have one put in so no TPN. No tube feeding. Stil...
