2. Duke preceptors

   dee789 posted a topic in NP Students

   Hi, I was recently accepted into Duke's post masters FNP program and wanted to see if anyone was willing to share recent experience with their FNP program. I'm in the Bay Area and I'm mostly worried about finding clinical placements. They say that th...

3. Trouble adapting to night shift

   dee789 replied to dee789's topic in General Nursing

   Where are you at now? Was it worth leaving a specialty you otherwise liked?

4. Trouble adapting to night shift

   dee789 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've been on the night shift for about two years now and am still having a lot of trouble with it. It seems like no matter how much I sleep, if I am awake before around 1 to 2pm I feel like absolute crap. For example, yesterday I went to sleep around...

   dee789 posted a topic in Emergency

   Hi all, I am considering taking a new ED job and am looking for your opinions. I have been working in a large, busy Level I ED for about 16 months, but have only been off orientation for 4.5 months. By the time I start this new job I am looking at I ...

6. Studying for CEN

   dee789 posted a topic in Emergency

   I am an ED RN with about a year of experience (first job). I am a good test-taker and pretty academically inclined so I would like to start studying for the CEN. I plan to use Sheehy's, Mark Boswell and the ENA study guide. Before I spend $60 on the ...

   Thanks! I did find a job, in an ED, coming up on one year :) Hope HHC is treating you well!

8. 6 months in the ED -- should I "get it" by now?

   dee789 replied to dee789's topic in Emergency

   Thanks for the advice everyone, I appreciate it. I am managing the same number of patients as the other orientees -- we officially cap at 8, but staffing has improved a lot since I started and I haven't had more than 5-6 patients at once in a long ti...

9. 6 months in the ED -- should I "get it" by now?

   dee789 posted a topic in Emergency

   I am 6 months into my new grad orientation in a big, busy ED and I feel I am falling behind the rest of my peers I was hired with. I am wondering if I should try and stick it out or if at this point realize that maybe ED is not for me. ED is all I e...

10. Patient Ratio

    dee789 replied to ERpinup's topic in New York

    Sorry, I don't feel comfortable saying where I work but it is a Level I, not in the heart of the city but in the NYC metro region. This may be why the ratios are lower than a lot of Manhattan hospitals.

12. NPs in the Emergency Department

    dee789 posted a topic in NP

    Hi all, I am a new graduate RN (since May) and have been working in a high-volume Level I academic ED setting, where we have tons of residents, attendings and a few NPs and PAs. I haven't been on the floor for long so I am not yet 100% clear on the r...

13. How long is your commute?

    dee789 replied to the nurse who lived's topic in General Nursing

    1.5 hours each way on the train (which is less stressful than driving IMO). It is my dream job and I live in a very competitive market! That said, I am looking to moving closer and buying a car next year. So far it is rough but worth it!

14. North shore-LIJ Critical care fellowship 2015 oct

    dee789 replied to bluepeachez36's topic in New York

    Second interview was very very laid back, I met with the director of the ED and she really just explained the fellowship to me and asked me if I had any questions. But I have to stress this is very very facility and unit dependent, as people I have m...

15. North shore-LIJ Critical care fellowship 2015 oct

    dee789 replied to bluepeachez36's topic in New York

    It is paid, I am a current ED fellow. I don't really want to reveal salary but they pay competitively (plus every facility varies a bit). I am not in the MICU so I can't comment on that, but we are still in "phase 1" which consists of classroom time ...
