  1. Weekend coverage hospitals

    4 weekend days out of a 6 week schedule: 4 saturdays, or 4 sundays, or 2 sat+sun
  2. Even jailed molesters eventually get out of prison.
  3. Q's for the Arizona natives:)

    If you're staying in Mesa, the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior is worth the drive. A VERY early morning trip the Superstitions, maybe to Lost Dutchman State Park, or the Peralta trail would be nice. If you do anything in the desert, make sure yo...
  4. too much of a perfectionist???

    We all make mistakes--perfection is an impossible goal--but never give up your high standards. What's important is to learn how not to beat yourself up over the mistakes. Learn from the situation, fix it, and go on. That can be a very hard thing to d...
  5. Phoenix Children's Hospital

    I work there full-time. If you really want peds, I think PCH is one of the best places in the Valley to work. The new-grad program is very good training. I feel very supported by my co-workers and manager, and truly enjoy the work I do. If you have o...
  6. What is "Capstone"?

    At my school it was a final senior project. It was quite involved, research based, and was supposed to address an issue on the nursing unit where we did our final leadership rotation.
  7. Favorite Wrist Watch?

    :yeahthat: And I changed the band to a stretchy metal one so that I can push it way up my arm if I need to.
  8. sigma theta tau invite

    I joined STTI when invited. It hasn't made any day to day difference at work; I didn't expect it to. But I do like being able to list it as a professional organization on bios or resumes. It's an honor not offered to everyone, and it's much harder to...
  9. ADN vs. BSN (kinda long, sorry!)

    Hi Chicken, my situation was similar to yours. I chose to get my BSN because I thought that I'd want to get a graduate degree in nursing a little later on. It was going to take me the same amount of time to do ADN or BSN because of prior university c...
  10. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

    That area is in south Scottsdale, the older part of town. It's much more reasonably priced than north Scottsdale, and you might be able to find something quite near the hospital. Good luck to you.
  11. Ok, lets flip this coin!

    Good things at work: -There is always someone I can turn to with questions who will not belittle me or tell me I "should" know it (even if that is what they think.) -There is always someone who will come and look at a patient with me if I think they ...
  12. Where do you keep your nurses notes?

    We keep ours in a small nursing chart which is filed beside the large pt chart at the nurses station. It normally has 2-3 days of flow sheets, med sheets, and the care plans.

  14. Help! Advice on kid swallowing a pill...

    I couldn't swallow pills until I was 18--I was terrified of choking. I had to take a couple different allergy meds every day, and I chewed them. One day I realized that one of the meds was no bigger than a red hot (cinnamon candy), and that I swallow...
  15. Akron Children's Hospital

    Good morning Ohio nurses. I am a peds RN, possibly returning to NE Ohio. I'd appreciate any information about Akron Children's. What do you like best about working there? What are this hospital's strengths? What is most frustrating? What are the weak...
