  1. Nurses Who Smoke Marijuana

    What if I become a practitioner and have my own private practice? Or partner up with an MD. I doubt I'll be randomly drug tested then. pre-employment, sure, but that's never an issue.
  2. no random drug testing

    i'm a 20 something year old new nurse. I haven't smoked weed in a year and a half just for this career. I think it's ridiculous to not be able to smoke outside of work. I'm wondering if there is any place I could work where they won't randomly drug t...
  3. ME: I graduated with my BSN in May of last year. After applying literally everywhere in Texas, I finally found a job at a small hospital on the outskirts of Houston. I relocated for my job without assistance. It is an ICU/CCU but because it is a smal...
  4. MD refuses to sign a telephone order.

    Thank u everyone for your feedback. I will need to stick to sbar better and do my he more before calling the dr. I hope this comes easier with experience. Also I liked how a lot of u suggested getting another nurse to verify the order so I have backu...
  5. MD refuses to sign a telephone order.

    Sorry I meant micu... We don't do too many a lines or invasive cardiac monitoring or cvp and stuff. Thank you for your comment. I'm thinking maybe with this particular dr I should keep phone orders to a minimum, and maybe not carry out verbal orders ...
  6. MD refuses to sign a telephone order.

    I'm a new grad working on my own for almost a month now, starting in ICU at a hospital where the acuity of the patients is rather low, so I consider it a SICU. I had a pt with a history of cvs with right sided weakness. She was obese and refused her ...
  7. NEW GRADS! I know it's tough out there!! I graduated with my BSN in May of this year, and I had been looking for a job since January (the beginning of my last semester of nursing school. By the time I graduated, I was ACLS and PALS certified and TNCC...
  8. New Grad Internship at St Luke's

    I interviewed for the st lukes TMC new grad fall residency a few weeks ago. I got an email yesterday saying they decided to pursue other candidates. I'm also BSN, AND have my license, PLUS i'm ACLS and PALS certified...I haven't gotten a job anywher...
  9. Interview with St.Luke's Hospital in Houston, Texas

    So how did your interview go? I also interviewed for the St Luke's medical center new grad program...I was told to send them my official transcript and two clinical instructor evaluations. I did so the day after my interview, and have not heard anyth...
  10. Houston New Grad

    I also applied to the same MD Anderson Fall 2012 residency about the same time you did, and have not recieved a call yet. I heard they are going to be calling people and schedule in person interview for mid to late august, so there's still a chance f...
  11. Eagle Pass New Grad

    I did not take that test because I had and still have (for now at least) my heart set on working in a big city. I'm sure there's a way to break the contract, but I'm not sure what the consequenses are. You should ask about all of that. You can maybe ...
  12. Eagle Pass New Grad

    I'm a Houstonian, born and raised. I went to Laredo, Tx for nursing school and recently graduated with my BSN in May. It's not exactly the valley, but its about two hours away from Eagle pass. My personal opinion, is that I HATED living there! I do n...
  13. MD Anderson August 2012 residency

    I applied to this residency about a week ago. I heard they're supposed to do interview in mid August. It is for the fall residency, I'm not sure when it starts. If it starts in August that would be great! I'm a native Houstonian and graduated in May,...
  14. Houston New Grads Beware of St. Luke's

    I agree with classicdame, it is insensitive. Especially becuase the lady who interviewed me was not only a recruiter, but an RN as well who used to work as a staff nurse, meaning she was once a new grad BSN with no experience once upon a time. I vow ...
  15. Houston New Grads Beware of St. Luke's

    oh my God I am so sorry to hear that! I interviewed with them today for the same program. Although I am a May 2012 graduate, I still saw the lady as very rude. She also interrupted me on many occasions during my answers and gave me the impression tha...
