Update: my report at work, so I have been told, had been improving each shift :) My timeliness inregards to documentation gets better when I use a timer and limit myself to 10mins an assessment to document in the computer. I also find that I do bette...

Any suggestions on what to look up before the start of the shift? Also what kinds of things are ok to pass on to day shift if I can't finish them during my night or can wait to be done until after report before clocking out? Time management though ge...

So glad I found this posting as its somewhat helpful for me. I have 6-7 patients a night on an in pt surgical floor and time mgmt when it comes to computer charting in meditech is eating up my time at the current moment. I think I may try standing an...

What about the ultimate nursing bag I think it's sold at nursing gear stores. Its a nursing mates product.

Leaving messages unless for a specific person usually lead to dead ends. Once you leave a message you are waiting for them to get back to you and its now on their time. Good luck and just keep trying to call back.

Does anyone know anything about the new grad Prog at Elliot hospital? Also should I already have my nh licence process started by the interview(licensed in MA already)or should I wait to see if I get an offer?

Try community based jobs like schools or working with community based agencies maybe even clinics or out patient facilities thats my only thought as to a 8/9-4/5 schedule you seem to be looking for...best of luck let us know if you find anything :)

Why not try applying for a job doing something in a hospital I have heard its easier to move internally from one position to another with in a hospital system then trying to get hired as an external applicant. Also work in general will help make it l...

Have you found a job yet....did the new grad prog work out?

Did you pass the 2nd time around? I sit for my second attempt at the end of October which feels like to much time to wait to retest and I could take it sooner I would just have to change my test location which I really don't think would be helpful. I...

how many times do you second guess answers? i just took a class and they said you should go through the questions as if they were on the computer for example don't underline or jot notes and just pick your gut answer and go through the questions revi...

I know this is an old post but what about the bare minerals brand makeup? I know it can be expensive for us students on a budget but it works well on my skin and I have seen it used to cover tattoos. I got my current stuff as a gift but seeing as a l...

So I have sent out a few applications having graduated just this past Sunday. My question is how do you keep the process going once the job apps have been sent out? Is there a good way to get noticed with out coming over as that applicant that calls ...

Not Sure if you are still looking but Dartmouth and Westport(both in Massachusetts) are nice areas esp South Dartmouth if you can afford that area of town. They are towns just outside of RI, on the water/state beach in Westport, and the commute isn't...

How early should May 2010 graduates start applying for pedi jobs or any jobs in general? Any tips or hints in regards to landing jobs?

UMass Dartmouth has a good program and we have a mentorship program during the senior year in the 2nd half of spring semester. This is where you get to pick a specialty and work one on one with a nurse in the specialty you think you want to practice ...

Thanks for the suggestions. I am trying to look for anything at this point but even that seems to be a challenge. Hopefully I will find something soon.

Thanks As for the real jobs I have been told to start looking and networking with career fairs and any career related oppertunities the fall of senior year. I am really still looking for a student nursing position so hopefully I will find something o...

I know how you feel I am also a senior this comming year and do not have a summer health care job. As for advice read up on things for school, read nursing journals, or maybe even volunteer or shadow if you feel you want to do so. I especially like t...

Well UMass Dartmouth is closer to Women and Infants in Providence RI which has a really good NICU. Some of our senior students are placed there for the mentorship program which you complete the 2nd half of your last semester of nursing school. Its ba...

my "life plan" before i started college was that i would get into the college i currently attend as it has a very good nursing program for a state school, then come spring semester of my senior year i would get my mentorship(preceptorship) placement ...

Here try the website I am not sure how helpful it is but its a start http://www.nantuckethospital.org/

I understand where you are comming from as I just finished my med surg rotation last semester. I had a few patients that on paper looked really complicated but it was those patients I feel that I learned the most from once the clinical day was throug...

These tips are all really helpful. I had so much trouble with learning to do B/P's last semester in health assessment. But I hope these tips will point me in the right dirrection to become sucessful at taking B/P's this upcomming semester.

Teaching many schools need nursing teachers to have nursing students. So if you need something as a 2nd career many schools could use teachers to keep the shortage of nurses down!
