  1. NELRP 2009

    gudiarani replied to oneLcrna's topic in General Nursing

    Did anyone just get an email from HRSA asking to Fax two signed contracts? The email talks about the recovery act. When I called to ask about it, the lady just said "I would do what they ask." Then...

  4. NELRP 2009

    gudiarani replied to oneLcrna's topic in General Nursing

    I'm hoping the email I got asking about Payoff amount was a good sign! My ratio is over 300%! Hopefully that means something for NELRP! I've been crossing my fingers for

  5. Managing O2 changes in preemie

    gudiarani replied to twizzlers67's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Someone mentioned a really good point. If the baby has a PDA, then they're probably shunting and their sats will be on the low side. So I wouldn't be so quick to turn up the O2. The other thing is...

  6. Heelstick vs venipuncture?

    gudiarani posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    In my unit, in NJ, we do heelsticks for labs. But I wonder why we don't do venipunctures instead of gashing up their poor heels so much. I understand using the heels for small draws (blood sugar,...

    Thanks!

  8. BLS expiration

    gudiarani posted a topic in General Nursing

    If your BLS expiration date says 3/2009 does that mean it is expired by the end of March 2009, or is it expired by the end of Feb? (I would assume the end of March...but just to make

  9. New Grad (soon-to-be) Interested in Working in NICU

    gudiarani replied to Psyched Out RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I second the "be persistent" thought. If you show that you're really interested in NICU, you should have less of a difficult time getting in as a new grad. Call and call and call some

  10. Ett suction preterms

    gudiarani replied to johan john's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm new to nursing and NICU, so I guess I didn't really know otherwise, but we do routine suctioning with every assessment (q4hours) usually, and PRN. Usually the kids have enough secretions to...

  11. Funny Names

    gudiarani replied to nurserynurse55's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It wasn't any official name card. Just something the parents made and put there. Otherwise, we obviously can't take pictures of the cards with actually id info on the

  12. Funny Names

    gudiarani replied to nurserynurse55's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Real Name: Tigeer Nickname: TigerWoodsObama There was actually a name card taped onto the baby's isolette with this name on it! Quite a few of our nurses took pictures of it

  14. New RN, NO JOBS!!!! WHAT the HECK!??

    gudiarani replied to kcsb12's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I currently have a job at Newark Beth Israel starting on Oct 6th in the NICU, but I'm still looking for others because it's kind of far for me as well as a few other reasons. The problem I've run into...

    gudiarani posted a topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Does anyone how long after you've taken and passed the NCLEX it is that you get your license info for NJ?? I took it last Weds 9/17, found out I passed yesterday 9/19 (YAYYY!!!!!). And I want to start...

    Theres a license verification website: http://www.state.nj.us/cgi-bin/consumeraffairs/search/searchentry.pl But does anyone know how often they update it? It hasn't been since Sept 5th and I need my...

  17. License after NCLEX

    gudiarani replied to gudiarani's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Thanks! Hopefully I should get it in two weeks then! I have a job at Newark Beth Israel, but so far they've been more than shady with everything, even though the pay is great. So I'm going to keep...

  20. Alternate Items

    gudiarani replied to gudiarani's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm using the software that came with Brunner's Med Surg book and it keeps scoring the picture questions wrong (where you have to place the x in the correct location). I just want to know if I should...

  24. Newark Beth Israel Hospital

    gudiarani replied to davisbaby's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hmm...weird. This is why I keep thinking it's a little shady. I'm not sure what to think anymore actually. I've lived in Baltimore for years, so the location didn't seem that bad to me. And since I'm...

  25. Newark Beth Israel Hospital

    gudiarani replied to davisbaby's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I was offered a position in the NICU recently. The weird thing is that I never really had an actual interview with them. I met with HR for a few minutes, got a tour of the unit with the Nurse...
