not shocked at all. this is the state of docs unfortunately. you find a few good ones but you always can also find the rotten ones.

lol. beautiful story. i felt the same way. i passed in 75 questions too.

i am fairly ok with my coworkers, we are like a little family on my unit. some patients can be a little anoyying. visitors can definately drive you crazy and sometimes they increase the patients anxiety.

I work in nyc in a very large hospital and management is still hiring nurses. I work in a burn unit and we currently have nurses on orientation for permanent positions. (and new grads are welcome!)

I am very interested in telephone triage!! what experiences do I need?? I would put off mentioning the vaca part. Is is possible you could reschedule your vaca??

What state are you in? where I am (NY) I knew a few people personally who benefited from this. Depends on the hospitals. Very few Hospitals do it here in NY I think.

i always tell ppl "you gotta take kaplan." i did! i got 75 questions (as well as most of my study budies) and i was outta there! (and yes i did pass on that one and only try)

i dont do this but i know that a few older (45yrs+) nurses i know lik eto wear them.
