   Omibashu replied to Omibashu's topic in Geriatric

   Thank you so much! I just got back from my 2 hours of "orientation"...if you can call it that. I look at patients with tube feedings, IV ABX, O2, etc and I freak out! It's been since clinicals 12 years ago that I had patients like that. I've been rea...

8. Anyone having trouble getting hired??

   Omibashu replied to skydancer7's topic in COVID

   If you’re willing, try nursing homes. I just got hired at a nursing home in a newly created COVID isolation unit. I’ve been out of clinical practice for 10 years! I got called on Thursday. Orienting in Friday. Starting ASAP. And the rate is insane.

14. Any UCLA Psych Nurses? Need Guidance

    Omibashu replied to Omibashu's topic in Psychiatric

    Good to hear that you're still in Psych. I'm really going to try to get some experience, maybe volunteering somewhere because that seems to be such a barrier to moving into psych. The hospital that I did my new grad program at didn't let you even c...
