  2. Need IV Access/Phelobotomy Classes

    tutored replied to tutored's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Good idea!:nuke: I'm applying for my NYS Rn license. But, I hear that Cabrini Medical Center is closed, or

  3. Need IV Access/Phelobotomy Classes

    tutored replied to tutored's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    BOY am I glad you asked that. I can't get a job. Period. It's horrible here in central NJ. I've applied to 19 hospitals. Not a single callback. Available to work anything and everything with...

  4. new grad, cant get hired

    tutored replied to jojo19's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Thanks, Maisy. Good (and scary!) advice. four of the hospitals I applied to, though not officially closed and reported as such in the media, have "applied to the state for closing", as stated by...

  5. Need to take in IV class ASAP!

    tutored posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Everyone! I'm a new grad who can't get a job (not here to tell my sob story!)..rather than sit around moping, waiting for callbacks, I've decided to go a head and take classes that normally would...

  6. Need IV Access/Phelobotomy Classes

    tutored replied to tutored's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Thanks for your reply - I wasn't taught, either. All the hospitals I've tried so far only offer IV Classes to employees. I'll keep plugging away, there's got to be some third-party, subcontracting...

    tutored replied to jojo19's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I've applied to 19 hospitals...can't get a job. Join the club. So much for the "nursing shortage":uhoh3:.....too many hospital closings mean too many out-of-work experienced nurses, I guess. why...

  8. should I just bypass HR completely?

    tutored replied to doglvr's topic in Nursing Career

    Excellent, solid advice Jolie - thank you SO much. It's been several years since I've had to interview for work again (having been previously self-employed for over a decade), and you reminded me...

  9. should I just bypass HR completely?

    tutored replied to doglvr's topic in Nursing Career

    Happy for you, but......I don't see how foreign nurses so often get jobs that Americans are turned down for (or are never called back)...my profile fits yours perfectly. I have a BSN. English is my...

  10. should I just bypass HR completely?

    tutored replied to doglvr's topic in Nursing Career

    doglvr, I read our post and have been having the exact same experience as yourslef........looking for two months, now (I'm in an east coast city, too), great GPA and good instructor references,...

  11. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    tutored replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    As they say in my part of the country, "Not for Nuthin'", but how is a beginning nursing student supposed to know what kind of stethoscope is equivalent to a particular model? Perhaps they're trying...

  12. Correct me - MRSA

    tutored replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    :smackingf....that would drive me nuts, too! That goes in the same category as people who say, "Nu-Cu-Lar". Maybe with this particular nurse, it stands for, "Mostly Resistant to Standard...

  13. To All the Great RNs who answered my Q: "What's CVVH?"

    tutored posted a topic in General Nursing

    ...I wanted to say, thank you, again...I was the final-semester nursing student in ICU who had to care for this male patient...I just wanted to give you all an update.. 7 weeks in ICU, and this man is...

  14. To All the Great RNs who answered my Q: "What's CVVH?"

    tutored replied to tutored's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for asking, I loved shadowing the NP for two days...at first she was looked at by many older MDs at this older hospital as something of an oddity, but once they saw just what she does for the...

  15. To All the Great RNs who answered my Q: "What's CVVH?"

    tutored replied to tutored's topic in General Nursing

    I just now got your drift (didn't have enough coffee today), and I completely agree...the socioeconomics match your

  16. To All the Great RNs who answered my Q: "What's CVVH?"

    tutored replied to tutored's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I remember your screen name!...the mesh is superficial - the surgeon told me it's just to keep everything moist and contained while granulation was supposed to happen. No DIC, yet, but he's...

  17. Correct me - MRSA

    tutored replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    I say, and hear,

  18. Which medical dictionary is best???

    tutored replied to peaches023's topic in General Nursing

    I have Taber's, and later got Mosby's...I like the Mosby's far better - it's much bigger, with lots of photos, and there's things in there that I had to reference for school that weren't in...

  19. TIPS/Info for passing NCLEX

    tutored replied to paula77720's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi again, Zona, I, too, am in a final semester of an ASN program, and, like you, I did not have a "formal" pharmacology class, though we are taught plenty throughout the curriculum, and it's specific...

  20. TIPS/Info for passing NCLEX

    tutored replied to paula77720's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That stinks, Zona :crash_com....I'm so sorry to hear about that. Perhaps your school has a problem with preparing it's students for the NCLEX - in other words, maybe it's not you. Would you happen...

  21. Can Your Nurses Stop a Surgeon

    tutored replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm a final-semester nursing student, who witnessed an experienced RN shut down a resident who was doing an in-room cardiac catheterization WITHOUT sterile gown or hat, no mask, and just regular...

  22. What's "CVVH" in the ICU??

    tutored posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can someone please help me out? I am a final-semester nursing student starting ICU tomorrow - I have a patient on "CVVH", and though I have many fine medical books, a big PDA, and lots of resources,...

  23. What's "CVVH" in the ICU??

    tutored replied to tutored's topic in General Nursing

    tutored, are you sure you are not in the trauma unit i used to work in?? seriously, i thought we were the only ones with transparent abdomens - or "guts hanging out" as i like to call it -usually...

  24. What's "CVVH" in the ICU??

    tutored replied to tutored's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for asking, and giving me the necessary reminder as a student that there's a person under all that tubing! He is in his mid-sixties, with visiting children and a bewildered wife. Tons of...

  25. What's "CVVH" in the ICU??

    tutored replied to tutored's topic in General Nursing

    Richard, that was, indeed, the setup...The primary RN constantly tweaked and adjusted the CVVH machine to the MD's desired net intake, or outtake...(In this case, the md wanted a deficit - lots of...
