  1. When should I apply for a student nurse PRN job?

    NewOncNurseRN replied to Elisa Cecilia De Lourdes's topic in General Students

    Check the listings as requirements vary! The one I worked for required you were at least in a clinical but preferred those who had already completed their first

  2. Smoking as a bar to nursing - beyond silly

    NewOncNurseRN replied to brianbooth's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, we do have to pass a physical fitness test as well as be smoke free. I think it’s more about setting a good example for your patients. Also, some are very sensitive to the smell of...

  3. RN Recognition & Respect

    NewOncNurseRN replied to Guch's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses get paid more. The other professions don’t get compensated nearly as much as they deserve. Also, many hospitals or employers do offer a discount program. You might have to search through HR...

  4. Years of RN experience before NP

    NewOncNurseRN posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I was wondering if having more experience as an RN helps with getting hired as an NP. I understand that more years of experience is ideal for applications to schools, but is that important to...

  5. ONS Oncology Nurse Orientation Bundle worth it?

    NewOncNurseRN replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in Oncology

    I would hold off because many units will pay for your ONS membership. With oncology classes and certifications, most will be paid for my your employer and may also require experience (such as the...

  6. Central Line Sterile Cap Changes

    NewOncNurseRN replied to Leo135's topic in Oncology

    We do not use sterile gloves or the TB syringes for sterile caps changes. We use clean gloves, and scrub the hub using a chlorhexidine wipe for 15-20 seconds before putting on the new sterile cap....

  7. New Graduate Shift Concerns

    NewOncNurseRN replied to CG1114's topic in General Nursing

    Rotating is the worst! Just as you get used to one shift, you switch to the next. The only thing is now you will have a few weeks where you are happy. So you have a solid routine before bed-...

  8. Bad idea to quit after 6m as a new grad for DNP school?

    NewOncNurseRN replied to Theanxiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Does your DNP program have requirements for hours of practice? All of the ones I looked at required a year of practice or so many hours of work experience before the start of clinicals. That is...

  9. Thoughts on rotating shifts

    NewOncNurseRN replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, it is required for minimum first six months for all nurses. After that, it goes by unit. I personally don’t enjoy it- but it is made better by extending your time between switch. For...

  10. Billing for Time Spent on Survivorship Care Plans?

    NewOncNurseRN replied to Lane Therrell FNP's topic in Oncology

    From my understanding on survivorship care plans, they are mostly worked on by the oncologist. That being said, survivors are definitely getting the short end of the stick- I am not sure oncologists...

  11. NCLEX: expectation to pass

    NewOncNurseRN replied to Snatchedwig's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I went in expecting to pass, but during and after the exam was less convinced. I had been told by professors that the NCLEX used machine learning and gave you more difficult questions with each...

  12. ATI comprehensive RN Exit

    NewOncNurseRN replied to MMNursing's topic in General Students

    For ATI, I used all of their materials. I did all of the practice quizzes and the tests they had in their online bank. I used their physical books for more information and additional questions. If...

  13. Anyone know anything about accelerated nursing programs??

    NewOncNurseRN replied to 4pplepie99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ABSN programs are very competitive, and they require high GPAs because they are so intense. My program saw several people drop down to traditional BSN within the first semester or two because of the...

  14. New Onset Afib

    NewOncNurseRN replied to donotenter's topic in General Nursing

    What is your hospital policy? Ours is that as long as someone with a. Fib has a pulse under 110s, we don’t do anything beyond their normal beta blockers. However, if it’s a new onset we put them...

  15. List of good practice books for nursing school?

    NewOncNurseRN replied to Nursing_1011's topic in General Students

    I would recommend checking out what resources you already have- does one of your textbooks come with a question book? Does it include an online resource with a quiz bank? Does your school do ATI which...

  16. Northern Kentucky University online MSN reviews

    NewOncNurseRN replied to RN58140's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello! Just wanted to hear how the program is going for you. Would you recommend it? What challenges do you face and are they worth going through?

  17. *HELP* Is it okay to take an extra semester to complete prerequisites?

    NewOncNurseRN replied to Mikayla9990's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a UB grad (not in nursing), I remember a lot of people having to pick up a second major as it also made them able to apply for the ABSN program since the traditional program was so competitive to...

  18. HOW would you spend your MONEY?

    NewOncNurseRN replied to TheFutureChoice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take the science classes and get the ABSN! An accelerated program should only take a year and a half, maybe two tops. That gets you into the field quicker so you have some cash and experience to apply...

  19. Day/Night shift?

    NewOncNurseRN replied to elainebenes's topic in General Nursing

    I work rotating. Here, we have day/night where some weeks are days and some are nights- depending on your schedule, it’s either two or three weeks of each, but I have also heard you alternate with...

  20. Cleveland Clinic Nurse Residency

    NewOncNurseRN replied to Nursing2019BSN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It’s been a pretty good orientation, and the residency classes can be helpful. Your unit should have additional experiences required to help you learn and those have been incredibly helpful. It’s...

  21. Northern Kentucky University

    NewOncNurseRN replied to nurse_1935's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am applying for this program in the fall as well! Have you heard

  22. Patient with platelet count of 3?

    NewOncNurseRN replied to FirstLadyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oncology nursing and normal lab values! For our patients, platelet count does not determine for our patients if they are up UAL. If blood counts did, none of them would be. What we do is extra...

  23. Why is there a 7 year limit on prerequisites for nursing?

    NewOncNurseRN replied to mdwatkins13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Part of the reason is that the information is fresh in your mind. Those courses are fundamentals for nursing, so you need a good understanding for those to understand diseases and treatments. Another...

  24. Residency or Staff Nurse Position?

    NewOncNurseRN replied to Halex's topic in Nursing Career

    Most places only offer new grads a residency position, not a staff nurse. The residency programs include not only longer times with a preceptor than a traditional staff nurse role, but also additional...
