I started out of nursing school on a cardiac telemetry step-down in a big teaching hospital. I worked there for a year and a half before transferring to their CVICU. There we get frequent transfers...

I loved reading the other posts (neuro, pediatric, general nursing). I thought that we in the ICUs/CCUs could come up with a good list too.... I'll start it off with what I can think of off the top...

I have nothing but respect for floor nurses- I've never had more than 4 patients at a time, ever. One of my best friends is med-surg/tele nurse in a semi-rural hospital (or as she jokes, "we are the...

My advice is to try and get into a hospital cardiac telemetry step-down and/or progressive care floor with "stable" vents. After you're there for a year or two, the ER or ICUs will want you In the...

This seems like a rash generalization.. I have two very large, very coverable tattoos. They cost money, but their meaning is timeless and will matter to me until the day I die. One of them, the...

Yes! I would tell my 18 year old self.... "It's okay.. you are actually very, very good at biochemistry, (even though inorganic chem is intolerable) and you love it. It is the high point of your...

As a cardiac nurse, I find this extra funny...very cute

Oh, I do. I'm willing to open up a bit more about it now that I've been on my floor for a while and people know me. I really don't want to offend anybody, but I would certainly stick up for myself if...

I am an atheist. I believe that I'm alone on my floor and probably in most of the hospital. I avoid the topic unless someone was to ask me dead on about my beliefs. There are many proudly religious...

I posted something related to this a while ago; I wondered if there were any places that seemed to be less gossipy than my current unit. I'm obviously not perfect, but I lament the laziness of some...

The only reason I became a nurse instead of a veterinarian was because I didn't think I could put animals (especially healthy ones) to sleep... now I wish I had done what I really loved.... c'est la...

I too am starting on a cardiac unit in a few weeks right out of school; this is great advice and motivates me to study! Thanks all

I just got mine yesterday after submitting all of my materials on August 27th- what really made me angry was their provisional licensing scam- I paid 10 extra dollars for an "immediate" license-...
