Interesting. I thought someone said the state BONs limit how many hours you can legally work straight on. I am not a candidate for 18 hour days on a regular basis. Leave that for the 20 year olds!!

I have an interview with Fresenius in a few days to interview for an inpatient dialysis RN position. I have 10 years ICU/ER/med-surg experience and a MSN. I'm new to dialysis, however. Does anyone have a rough idea of salary range? I do know that I w...

I'm interviewing for a job with Fresenius, and I'm pretty sure call is part of the job. How does that work? When I was a new floor nurse 10 years ago at a small country hospital, on call meant you made a whopping $2 an hour to stay home and hope the ...

Thanks for all the info. I plan to ask is there a limit to the day....if you could possibly end up with an emergency situation and end up with a 17 or 18 hour day. That would kill me. I did a 16 once when my relief didn't come in. It had been a very ...

OMG, you could make more at McDonald's!! A nurse for $10 an hour should be illegal. that is just nuts.

Is it just me, or are there others who despise the group projects required in every grad school class? I hate the idea of waiting on others to drag their heels doing their part of the work. You are only as fast as the slowest person, and I am extreme...

I really want to get my NP in adult critical care....but what I've read and heard lately seems to think that a FNP is more hireable. If I go FNP could I have options to work in ICU/critical care? I think FNP might bore me to death. Thanks for any inp...

How about my rich crazy lady who came to the ER in a LIMOSINE!!!! Then up on the floor, she stole oil paintings off the wall by the gift shop..........everyone in the hospital says "Oh, yeah, I heard about that pt." Good news travels fast!!!! LOL

Pt in ICU 6.9 and beginning to turn slightly blue......

Awesome notes!!! Thanks for posting.

thank you soooo much!! anything will help. i hear that program is pretty kick butt.....i'm nervous already and i havent' even gotten in yet!!

Hi Nursekitten! Would you possibly email them to me, or PM to me?? I am starting NP school next year, and am weak in cardiac. Thanks bunches!!!

I used several...I love the Made Easy series-I have several of their books, including EKG interpretaion made easy. Look for them on Ebay and Amazon to save a few dollars.

Oh, thank you! That would be great. I am going to start on patho now-Ive always heard that it's the hardest part. Thanks!!
