It's increased clotting time, which indicates a decreased ability to clot. Unless I just haven't had enough coffee yet.

Yep - just keep it simple and ask for a few days before you commit to the position. To me, it comes across as insincere when people say that they are waiting on other offers but that they are very...

I don't think you need to allow yourself to be trampled, but sometimes I think it's all in the delivery. I've seen someone say that while working her neck. It's hard to pay attention to body language...

I don't think you're wrong, but I think how you handle it might depend on the specifics of the situation. I can also understand that you might not want to post too many specifics to a widely read...

Ah, sorry. Didn't read carefully enough to realize that this was a case study. I hate those things.

In reality, the issue with hypoxic drive issue is usually overblown. Even placing a patient on a nonrebreather at 15 LPM for a short while in an emergency is unlikely to knock out the respiratory...

Are you in the US? My experience is that non-nursing degrees may provide you with knowledge or insight, but they generally aren't recognized by employers.

I think you're off to a good start, but how about some physical exam data related to cardiac output and perfusion? You listed vital signs and an assessment of work of breathing, but what are some...

Just adding that there are two stages (with different responses in SVR and CO) to septic shock. You'll want to look into the distinctions between cold shock and warm shock.

Welcome back!

They're modes of respiratory support. Sometimes ventilators are the machines used to deliver BiPAP or CPAP. Can you elaborate on the question?

It's just so easy to run out of conversation material in this forum. We're still nurses, we're still dudes, and it's still not a big deal. We don't exactly have much to go on here. :)

Let us know! We would be glad to help. At five pages, you're either 1) typing in a 44 point font, or 2) including a ton of stuff that isn't really going to help you get a job. Good luck!

If family is your highest priority, I would look into more schedule-related details, particularly for the hospital positions. Would you start on nights? If so, how long would you spend on nights?...

Good luck to you! Hang in there!

Assuming that you're trying to be reasonably discreet, I think this might fall under the umbrella of an incidental disclosure. Here's a web link with more information on incidental disclosures. ...

I think you'll still be okay. I don't see this cover letter as problematic. When I read cover letters that try to make an applicant (especially a new graduate or a student) fit into specific aspects...

I don't think those have to be included unless you acquired skills or experience that aren't normally associated with a PN program. Some people do that if they have very limited work history to...

The part under "Seeking Position As:" reads a little funny to me. To me it's not immediately clear whether you managed a medical office or other office in that first sentence. I would stick to...

I don't know of any organization that would hire for that position without clinical experience first. However, if you enter "non-bedside" into the search box at the top of the page, you can see lots...

Agree with jennafezz that you just need to go over the details a bit as far as consistent punctuation. You could probably also leave out the word "charting." You could just use Cerner and Epic, as...

I like it. I would just say that the "Attention Human Resources" is not quite right to me. I might go with To Whom It May Concern or even leave off the greeting. I would move the very short second...

Currently, at least in the US, ECMO specialists are trained and credentialed by the hospitals that they work for. I know that ELSO (Home - Extracorporeal Life Support Organization), the professional...

Everyone in your class would be correct, but us normal folks are glad to have colleagues who like that stuff. :)

Agree with the above. We need more about the other possibilities you considered. Also, you usually won't have an AEB with a risk-for diagnosis. If there's evidence, that's more than a risk. To...
