MS. ICANDOIT

Hey all! I'm hoping someone can help me with this... I took my first travel assignment in DC recently and have been asked to extend my contract. My recruiter asked me why I didn't take any of the per diem benefits on my last contract. I told her I th...

I too came from a Level II ER with two years of exp there and and another two and a half from a Level I hospital ICU. I just took my first travel assignment in a Level I hospital in Washington DC. The knowledge you have already is a great foundation ...

University is an awesome place to work if you like being challenged. The SICU is like high school (cliques and favorites) but has great cases. The Neuro ICU is great, although the nurses can be a little cold at first and to rookies until they get s...

7 days, just make sure you request the fingerprint card first. They sent the card out the same day I requested it.

Not sure about the internship, but at graduation time they ask you what nursing board you want yor school transcripts etc sent to. I chose Ohio but took my NCLEX in Louisville for scheduling purposes. You also choose where you want your NCLEX resul...

I'm trying to get there myself this fall and would love to know what its like. I'm working in cincy right now and sooooo need a change

After sitting on hold for 22 minutes this morning I was told by a very helpful rep that temp permits are running about 3 weeks right now. Good luck everyone, I know I need it

GOOD FOR YOU!! You've taken the first step....hang in there and don't let ANYTHING keep you from your goal! Rocks may be thrown in your road, but they aren't anything you can't sweep away, go around or roll over! It truly is a GREAT program and yo...

Sorry to be brief but wanted to share before I left for work....yes we've been proning for a couple of years with mixed results prior to the H1N1 influx. We've had lots H1N1 patients some we proned some we didn't and it didn't seem to help UNTIL...w...

See if you qualify for Voc Rehab or dislocated workers. Same office.... Oh yeah if you plan to seek public assistance there is some money there too...My sister works in the Community Based Services office and they love to give lots of support to st...

Wow! Sounds like you had a horrible experience. I would agree with alot of what you said about Beckfield, but that isn't anything I haven't experienced at other schools, including NKU and Cincinnati State. Never tell people your personal business, ...

Yep Melissa Joos is the one you want to speak with regarding the program specfically, but you have to start off meeting with an admissions rep who gathers all the prelim info and forwards it on depending on the program...seemed to just frustrate me t...

I too am a Beckfield graduate and while no program is going to be perfect, I loved my experience there, so much so that I would like to one day go back and be a clinical instructor for them. I graduated in Sept. 08 and so far all of my classmates th...

My mother had/has (does it ever really go away??) plantar fasciitis. I introduced her to my friend who is a Chiropractor and he his trained in A.R.T. - Active Release Technique. He does something to break up adhesions and release tension and it prom...

No only licensed professionals can buy the creative product it's called Brisa. I feel your plight on the growing out phase. I was an acrylic addict for 15 years. Try a product by Nailtek called hydration therapy. It's a clear polish start with two co...

there are a couple of products that come to mind..one is a traditional gel that can be sculpted and "built" just like a traditional powder/monomer acrylic powder. This poses the same risks from an infection control standpoint. The other is a product ...

Try St. Luke East/West in NKY. I had a few classmates that were LPN's there and treated well by the RN staff. I also know that St.Elizabeth uses LPN's on the floors...

I didn't graduate until 9/19, but I applied in April and had an offer by May1, and didn't start until two weeks ago. I knew the position that I wanted and knew that LOTS of new grads wanted it too so I applied early. GOOD LUCK!!

Try to get your role transition there...even if you can only do 40hrs there it may get you in front of the Unit Mgr who can see your skills and hear your pitch! I'm suprised that an area university hospital won't hire on a new grad in the ICU...

Excellent facility, very very clean..... fair??? Well that's subjective. I know nurses who wouldn't leave at gunpoint and a few that are leaving after just a year. I worked in a non-nursing position and none of us was treated fairly! The only rea...

Monistat 7 or something like it. I also kept her bottom open to air at night (she just laid on top of the diaper). quick results!!!!

WINNY! You CAN do it! You may just need a "breather". Put the kids to bed, take a bubble bath, read a magazine or watch mindless TV and go to bed. REST your mind for a minute. Taking a break for a night or even a day will not kill you and may even...

I don't graduate until September but I applied in mid April and had an offer letter on May 1. Like the above posters stated, both check with the Nurse Recruiters at the faclility you want to work at and apply early....I knew I would be compteting fo...

You have to have 15 posts in order to send a PM. Find some threads and post away. Good Luck!!!

Abreva works wonders too!
