Try this site: Epic | Excite Health Partners EMRjobs.com might be another helpful one. You have a great background for it, with 8 years of clinical experience, but the big advantage is the 3 years using Epic. While I have clinical experience and trai...

Wow. I've been out of the field for 2 years now, just got laid off from a job training EHR software. I worked as an RN for 2.5 years before that - had a back injury 6 months into the job and pushed through the pain for the next 2 years until it was n...

To Calder, as KelRN216 said, working as a CNA will help you learn prioritization and time management skills, which are crucial to success as an RN. I worked as a tech while I was in nursing school and it was so helpful! I had exposure to the hospital...

I worked night shift and a lot of us had a PRN for insomnia. As for meds taken at work, I think it depends on the person and how it affects them... when your sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive, that can't be good for your patient, either. It'...

Hi :) I completed a female to male transition before I started nursing school and had no difficulty whatsoever, though I imagine it would be more difficult to be going through transition during school. In fundamentals, there were some comments about ...

Hi. I'm a transgender nursing student about to graduate in 2 weeks and I completed my transition (female to male) before I began school. Three of my classmates know -- one had a feeling because she'd known a few transguys before me, one found out fro...

Hi, and congratulations =) I am currently in their upper division program and I got the acceptance packet 2 or 3 days before the intent to enroll form was due! Then I had a week to get the TB test and immunizations out of the way -- I got the TB test...

There's a great site about these experiences and what can be learned from them: http://www.near-death.com.

Oh, crap. I do have AHA CPR certification -- that's the card I lost! I wasn't able to find a place that teaches it w/them so I signed up for this Red Cross class... Has anyone asked to see your card, or do they take your word for it? Thanks for the w...

I took AP1 last semester. This semester, I had 3 prereqs left (nutrition, microbio, and AP2) so I'm taking them all together and doing fine... but it was a Hell of a lot easier to understand microbio, having already gone over cell components, functio...

Same orientation date. I didn't even get my forms in the mail until today!!! I dropped the intent to enroll form at the office an hour ago, went to SHS to get the TB test and was told Thursday is the only day they can't do them u_u. So I'm going in t...

I start USF upper division this summer. =D

Are you taking the prerequisites at the same school? If not, make sure they will be accepted at SUNY. Most (all?) will require you be accepted to the school before applying to a specific college within it. If you're already in, you might want to cont...

I haven't seen any of it in person, but I don't have a problem with the thought of any of it or the sight on TV or a website... but I really don't like the idea of sticking things up where I can't see them. IVs, needles, catheters, ears, noses... The...

I agree with your point, but I'm not sure that this was the situation. The OP said that until the instructor said something, none of the students had known he was transgender, so not including him wasn't about that fact.

If he were born with ambiguous genitalia, would you expect him to tell all his patients what's been his legs? If he doesn't, they might think they're being cared for by a guy whose genitals look like their brother's. Maybe I should tell my patients t...

I think often people are in denial about the seriousness of their condition and don't want to believe it's bad enough to require the treatment they're refusing. But not understanding why something's required is also part of it.

Good to see others around my age. I'm 19, just finished my first year of college, switched my major three times. I originally started in this 7-year med program but had to drop engineering calc and didn't want to retake it, or wait 11 years to start ...

I switched from pre-med to pre-nursing after having to drop engineering calc in the first semester =/

I know I'm replying to this half a year late, LOL... I'm applying to USF for the Fall of '07. I'm doing my prereqs there right now.

Neurology, pathology, hematology.

My advice is to speak with an advisor. I wanted to do a nursing major and psychology minor but was told to forget psychology -- there's no time for anything else in nursing school. Good luck.

Still working on the prereqs and uni reqs: An/Phys 1 w/lab Hebrew 1 w/lab Intro to Sociology Honors Social Science Finite Math Life Cycles (dev. psych.) this summer.

Same here. I've been interested in medicine since I was young... used to look through my dad's science books and those books of medicines when I was in elementary school and didn't understand what most of it meant. I wanted to be a doctor since I got...
