1. Wearing Scrubs Outside of the Workplace

   Quiller replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

   So... I live fifteen minutes from work and we do shift change at 0600-0700 and 1800-1900 (depending on your position). There's a Walmart, a Kroger, a Sam's Club and dozens of restaurants less than ten minutes from the hospital (and I live fifteen min...

3. Memorial Hermann Summer 2016 Residency

   Quiller replied to ms.simone's topic in Texas

   I haven't heard from them in a few weeks and I'm starting to get antsy and paranoid. My mind is like, "Remember that facebook post you made 9 years ago? When you were holding green beer? Maybe they found it and deleted your application."

4. Telemetry/ IMCU Advice please!

   Quiller replied to On_a_mission92's topic in New Nurse

   "Telemetry units have designated monitor techs who do the 'watching'.... they'll let you know if anything hinky is going on." Whoa now. I work PRN as a monitor tech while I'm in nursing school and I can honestly tell you...that's not always true. Eve...

5. EMTs Ever Look at You Like You're Dumb?

   Quiller replied to Avill's topic in School

   Was he asking for the student's medical history or the history of how he came to be in your care? I'm a medic in nursing school and I can honestly say, of all the times I've responded to a high school, I've never expected the school nurse to know the...

6. ER vs ICU with a CRNA focus in the future

   Quiller replied to ajschwandt's topic in General Students

   I get my ADN this May as well. =D I also hope to pursue CRNA and I'm going to ICU. I know for a fact that the school I want to go to will ​only accept ICU experience and you have to have at least a year in it. They're not picky as to what kind of I...

7. Memorial Hermann Summer 2016 Residency

   Quiller replied to ms.simone's topic in Texas

   I got an email from HR at Hermann NE earlier this week, this is after I got the offer letter and whatnot, saying that New Hire services would contact me 2-3 weeks before my start date to begin the rest of the hiring procedures.

8. Any Online Nursing Student Support Groups

   Quiller posted a topic in General Students

   Does anyone know of any nursing student / general student online support groups? I'm having a lot of social and financial issues that are affecting school but I find myself unable to talk to people at school about it. It's not because they're not fan...

9. LVN Student, looking for someone to interview for cultural assignment.

   Quiller replied to Buttney's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Sure.

10. Student Professional Nurse

    Quiller replied to TxNurse314's topic in General Students

    So I recently applied for a similar position at a different Hermann and was wondering if you could tell me more about the hiring and interview process?

11. NOTES...how do you take yours?

    Quiller replied to jkblevins's topic in General Students

    Both. My tablet allows for handwriting but has an attachable keyboard for when I want to type. I predominantly write because, once written, I can remember it without reviewing versus typing where I have to check my notes.

12. Getting used to 12 hour shifts?

    Quiller replied to champagneferret's topic in Student Assist

    I'm also a night owl and I *might* be able to help with that aspect. I'm going to preface this with the fact that I'm a paramedic in nursing school and I've been a paramedic for 7 years. I've worked mostly 24 hour shifts in the prehospital environmen...

13. How much do you know about other medical professions?

    Quiller replied to Mthom17's topic in General Students

    That would actually be a wonderful course for anyone going into medicine to take. Part of me hopes our nursing program goes over something like it but the rest of me is already daunted by what we are covering and dreading another test on pretty much ...

14. renting vs buying ebooks & online access texts

    Quiller replied to NeoNatMom's topic in General Students

    I'm an avid e-book reader... recreationally. I had some luck using the e-book that came with my statistics course access but was not passing History when I attempted to use an ebook with it. A lot of that is because 50-55% of my study strategy came f...

15. 7 Social Media Posts That Will Destroy Your Nursing Career Before It Begins!

    Quiller replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in New Nurse

    I have a FB for keeping in touch with family and one specifically for work and school. There is nothing on my work / school FB that can't be shared in a court of law / with my mother. I personally like it because it means I have a FB presence if you'...
