Is it an emergency backup in case you need to bolus very quickly?

Hello! I'm about to start my preceptorship on L&D, and I really want to snag a job on this unit. I think I am generally friendly, helpful, and ask a lot of questions. I realize I don't have total control over what happens, but I want to do my ...

Here are some ideas (worked for me!) Look up “Applicant Tracking System nursing tips” on Google to find info on how to best make it past the resume robots. Join linkedin, try to find direct contact info for L&D managers, and ask to shadow. ...

AWHONN.org There you can also network with L&D nurses

Cone is $28 now and Duke is $27. Not sure what UNC is, but I think slightly higher than Duke.

A good friend has hypothyroidism and received the vaccine with no problem. She has thyroid glands but takes levo daily to manage. I understand your hesitance, and luckily it is probably going to be OK for you to get the vaccine. ? It definitely se...

*Your tests probably won't be open-note/open-book because you'll be in person... but that also means you'll probably have a better time learning!

@gnv26 Before this semester, most of our exams were open-note/open-book, which obviously made things much easier than they would have been otherwise. This semester requires more studying, but the tests are mostly pretty straightforward. I never rea...

Hi @Meowmeowmama, I'm a current 3rd semester Duke ABSN student. Clinicals are not 12 hours until 4th semester. They usually go from 6:30AM - 5:00PM at the very latest, and often/usually get out sooner. It really depends on the course and your clin...

Duke upped their pay to $27 recently, so I expect other hospitals (UNC, Cone, etc) will follow suit, if they haven't already.

@MrsLittleRN You need an official academic recommendation but HOT TIP ALERT you can add additional recommendations as “additional documents.” Anything else that supports your application (certificates, for example) can also go there.

Did you pass?

I'm sorry you're going through this. I recently listened to a podcast episode about negative unit culture that might be really helpful to you (it's also on spotify and probably apple podcasts) https://www.freshrn.com/dealing-with-a-negative-unit-cul...

This is great advice! Create opportunities for patient education.

I am a nursing student so I don't have advice to give, but I just wanted to say that I completely understand why you would have been playing up your bartending work. The advice to leave out your personal life (wise though it probably is) makes me sa...

Nearby Duke starts at just under $25 before differentials so I'd imagine it is something like that.

I'm sorry you're going through this! I definitely relate. I do think it would be helpful to reach out to your advisor. Also, I know it is hard to connect with other students when the program is online, but you're definitely not alone in the way yo...

Hello! I may find myself in your boat in about a year. Curious what you decided to do!

You might also be interested in being a wound/ostomy/continence nurse if you're into wound care.

Racism and white privilege DO exist. And, at the same time, white people DO ALSO suffer from poverty, health disparities (compared to wealthier people of all races), the opioid epidemic, lack of access to healthcare, police murder, intergenerati...

Is it normal for a new grad to be a charge nurse? I can understand why your black co-workers might be resentful having a brand new white nurse as their supervisor. This doesn't, however, justify lying about you. It sounds really hard and stres...

Hello! I wanted to start this thread so that applicants can update each other on application status, etc. Likely we'll have no news for several months. Good luck to everyone!

@amoLucia It really is law that all have the right to a lawyer present during questioning. (I’m not sure of the rules for undocumented people—they definitely don’t have the right to free legal counsel.) Even more important is that no one is require...

Everyone has the right to have a lawyer present during questioning. Unfortunately not everyone is aware of that. I think it would be appropriate to inform patients about this and tell them that they do not have to answer any questions without a law...
