    Cluster Care & Vital Sign Frequency

    Hey there, fellow NICU nurses! I've been working in a very large, level IV NICU for nearly three years. When it comes to cluster care and vital signs, I have questions about how my hospital operates in comparison with other hospitals. Our vital sign...

    UWorld, NCLEX-RN, & the PVT

    Just wanted to drop in here and give some advice and encouragement to anyone gearing up for the NCLEX-RN! I recently graduated with my BSN and decided to take my NCLEX about a month out from there. I was on the fence about what program to use to stu...

    Scrubs: Actual Store vs. Online Shopping

    Hello, all! I'm just in search of advice as I start my search for comfortable, long-lasting, and (hopefully) affordable scrubs. Would you all recommend shopping in person in a store or shopping online? What are some pros and cons? What are your favo...

    What are your post NCLEX feelings?

    I absolutely experienced the same feelings that you did! I was terrified that I had passed - I felt as though I hadn't answered anything correctly save for a few questions and the number SATA only increased my anxiety. To be honest, it was the 48 hou...

    UWorld, NCLEX-RN, & the PVT

    The NCLEX questions are indeed rather broad, especially compared to UWorld. But by learning some things from UWorld, such as focusing on safety, focusing on ABCs (Airway, Breathing, Circulation), and prioritizing according to those things, I was able...
  6. Hello! I'm currently about to renew my BLS and I had a question for those of you with experience. Two years ago, I went through the AHA's course titled "BLS for Healthcare Providers." When I went on the site to sign up for a class, I noticed that th...

    AHA BLS Provider vs. AHA BLS for Healthcare Providers?

    Thank you so much for your input! I think I will go with AHA to be safe.

    AHA BLS Provider vs. AHA BLS for Healthcare Providers?

    I am a new hire GN and they told me that as my certification would expire before my start date, I would have to get it redone beforehand. I sent an email requesting clarification to the person assisting me with the new hire process, but they are away...

    AHA BLS Provider vs. AHA BLS for Healthcare Providers?

    Thank you for your reply! I just realized that the BLS for Healthcare Providers was being offered by the Red Cross while the Providers class was being offered by AHA. My previous card is from the AHA and titled Healthcare Provider. Does this change y...

    They told us at pre-match day that we would have the advantage of being able to interview first and as far as I know, we did. But besides that, I'm not too sure.

    Sorry, thought I had quoted you but I guess I hadn't LOL. NICU told me that we should hear back by the end of the week or perhaps the start of next week at the latest and that, if we don't get a phone call by then, we should contact HR. :)

    I was also asked to stay for a second interview. I applied for Children's Memorial Hermann and the unit was NICU. From talking to others, I think that Children's was the main one conducting second interviews, while MH TMC was not. Not sure, but just...

    Hi, Selby! Guess I'll be seeing you on Tuesday! I don't know about any questions from personal experience, but I have been browsing this site link on Glassdoor, where people rate their interviews with Memorial Hermann and post questions that they wer...

    Just wait on it and stay positive! I was incredibly nervous, too, so there was relief when it came today. I think they're taking their time.

    I got my invitation to Children's MH Match Day today and I had the same issue with the email coming from TMC and not Children's. I'm sure it's nothing that has any effect on what you applied for. (:

    I got my behavioral assessment and questionnaire emails today! I'm definitely getting them submitted tonight, haha!

    I haven't received anything from Children's either. I'm definitely starting to get very nervous now that they're starting to send things out.

    I haven't received a phone call or the behavioral assessment from Children's or the Woodlands, but a friend of mine who applied to the Memorial City location received her behavioral assessment.

    Oh, I haven't heard anything back either. I checked my application statuses today, and my first choice says "applied" while my second choice just says "application under review." Does anyone have anything different?
