  1. Having a procedure done

    Jumping the gun here, but I have pain in my shoulder and a massage therapist/ultrasound tech informed me that it may be a lipoma or an abscess. She said to make an appointment ASAP due to the size. It is about the size of my palm and noticeable when ...
  2. When should I start applying for jobs?

    I applied for a residency now and will apply for jobs around November. I graduate in December. The worst thing is if a job filters you out due to no license number but hue. You become licensed, you're in the filtered pile unable to reapply for that ...
  3. Clinical PT. info

    Also, not all paperwork is equal. Some schools require significantly less paperwork than what my school requires.
  4. Where do YOU sit in class?

    Sometimes up front. Sometimes in the back. I don't adhere to a ritual of "that's MY seat." Change is good.
  5. Interview Attire

    Plus maybe the suit will make me look older. I know when I go to take drug tests, people comment on how young I look.
  6. Don't look at the charts!

    So the way the system is, you can't make major changes when certain people are in the charts. The doctor needed to put orders in and a nurse up on the floor who was not going to receive the patient was in the chart. Meaning, I had to call up the nur...
  7. TEXT?

    Depends on the instructor. Now I skim chapters but focus on power points. Other instructors test on material they do not cover so I read those chapters multiple times.
  8. where do you see yourself in 5-10 years

    I'd say that I would be working on my MSN so I can start working additionally as a clinical instructor and preceptor while continuing to work with X department. Preferably on nights and full-time at that point.
  9. Clinical PT. info

    We are supposed to research the day before but most research before we go in since we're afternoon. What it usually is you research basic information then do the careplan after clinical. Like our paperwork is due that Sunday.
  10. Interview Attire

    Well, I am not really fashion inclined. I am more of a t-shirt and jeans type of person. When I did my interview, I wore khakis and a blue shirt. It would be an entry-level nursing position. Around here, job applications are submitted online and th...
  11. Blood cultures

    Well, I don't have a written policy but I can probably find one for you when I go back to work. The ER has stricter rules due to high number of contaminated cultures we've had recently. Basically, we prep the bottles with alcohol preps for 30 seconds...
  12. Hourly Rounding in an ER

    Are you on the floor or in the ER? Also, with my hospital there is no mention of rotating it between RNs and ancillary staff, just "one person will do it each hour." Most of the other hospitals do rotate it between RNs and PCTs and that works well. ...
  13. Interview Attire

    Do people still wear suites for interviews? I'm looking at: http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-c36333/212-collection-pin-striped-suit-separates.jsp http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-c29490/212-collection-solid-suit-separates.jsp Along with a white butto...
  14. Is it worth it going to a private school for BSN?

    Yes, but you are considering going to the other school and then doing an accelerated BSN. You may not get financial aid for the accelerated BSN.
  15. How Long Until Graduation?

    Not sure the exact number. Around 80 days.
