  1. Duke Peds Cardiac ICU

    Hey! I worked there for about a year and a half in 2015 & 2016. I started there as a new grad. I had ZERO complaints about it. What questions do you have?
  2. Patient Assignments

    Just the other day, I had to pick LAST..and I was lucky that the other nurse just ahead of me chose to keep the more intensive assignment, who would up tanking that day too. It just shouldn't happen. I like my team here and they are mostly helpful an...
  3. Patient Assignments

    Basically, yes. The orientees/preceptors can take whatever they want if they feel like it is something they haven't experienced..even if it is an "easier" patient load. The sickest patients (i.e fresh post-ops or ones who have just coded, are usually...
  4. Patient Assignments

    Does anyone else work on a unit where they get to choose assignments? I do and I absolutely hate this method. I'm a new grad who has been on my unit now for 6 months. Once I was off orientation, I was supposed to be pre-assigned...to the "easier" pat...
  5. Duke RN Residency 2016

    Nope. No steth needed! You won't be doing any patient care aside from assistance positioning a patient, maybe.
  6. Duke RN Residency 2016

    Hello! I work here at Duke now in a Peds critical care unit. I applied maybe 2-3 weeks before graduation and actually made Duke wait about a month to interview me after they expressed interest, so I interviewed about 10 weeks after applying. I receiv...
  7. Does it say "Complete" on the checklist part when you pass? When I checked the day of the test(yesterday), it didn't say complete in that part. Today is the day after the test and it now has my school's info under the education section as well as com...

  10. CHLA RN residency September 2015

    Best wishes everyone. I hope you all get accepted!! I received a packet, but wasn't able to get all of the paperwork together in time as one of my instructors never came through with the last recommendation, and also realized that the licensing would...
  11. Current 2014 new grad pay for Maryland hospitals

    I think they were referring to JHH East Baltimore Campus and not JH Bayview Campus...b/c I'm positive that JHH starts new grad nurses at about $27/hr right now.
  12. Clinical Extern Student Nurse Position

    Did you get it?? I hope so! I just started as a CNE in the ED there at the beginning of the year. I'm learning a ton!
  13. Is there any up from rock bottom?

    You can do this! Study as hard as you can and be prepared to explain what life dealt you, to the powers that be. They WILL listen! Believe me!
  14. Getting BACK into nursing school.

    Wow. It's unbelievable to me that they would put you out of the entire program for not passing one exam. At my institution, each semester we're required to take dosage calc exams multiple times until we pass.(at least 3) (However we have to take the ...
  15. Currently failing!!!

    Yep..been there before...and it all ended well. I'm there again right now in Med-Surg 2...and I'm confident that it will end well again. It has to lol. I graduate in 5 months and there's nothing that's going to impede that! All you can do is study ha...
