   cheyne stokes replied to MzKGoRN's topic in General Students

   Hey, Congratulations! I aced my final today too and I'm never looking back! I feel shell shocked though. I can't believe it's really over. I'll miss my friends but not those darn tests! Good luck with your future endeavors!

   I hear you. I don't live in NH either and I was fretting about where I should take my boards because the criminal background check for your NH license now takes up to 8 weeks! Try to call HR again, or better yet, email them. You deserve to know so yo...

   Hi, They seem to work pretty slow over there in HR. But I was told that they were going to be making their decisions for the New Grad program by April 23rd. I was offered a position that week, along with two of my classmates. What unit were you inter...

5. What does overhire mean?

   cheyne stokes replied to cheyne stokes's topic in Career Support

   Thank you very much for your reply. This clears up the question of overhiring as far as new grad nurses are concerned which, I agree, makes complete sense. I will also ask about this in my interviews. Thanks again.

   OK, thanks. Could that affect me if I was hired on a floor where they had more than enough staff? For example, could they cut my hours back after orientation?

8. another IV question...

   cheyne stokes replied to cheyne stokes's topic in Medications

   Okay, thanks. That does make sense. In theory we weren't taught to do it this way, so I need to talk to my instructor to see if we are supposed to always do it this way. Thanks for your responses.

   Hello everyone, I am a student and the other day I got to hang my first IV meds. I have a question that might sound silly but I really hope someone will answer it. One patient did not have any fluids ordered. There was a new antibiotic to be hung, so...

    It's normal to feel freaked out in the beginning, because it seems overwhelming and maybe you're not sure how it's all going to come together. But I can assure you it can be done. I'm graduating in May with high honors, with a young child at home and...
