I think 1 week is too little but it's nothing like working in a hospital would I take it,probably! You can continue to interview and apply at other facilities while you're getting experience and pay. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Congratulations!!!

Believe me you will not be getting 3 months of orientation in LTC if you are lucky you'll get a month at the most, just make sure you double check your meds because you will be doing that for the majority of you shift, time management is big in LTC b...

Omg this really ****** me off!!!

Is a care coordinator and a case manager the same thing. I'm not sure what I'm getting myself into since I've never done anything besides bedside nursing, I'll be going for an interview at big insurance company in the New England area for a position...

Im sorry but I don't think you ever get to like this, its gross but someone has to do it. I just make sure I have everyhting in hand to change it and make it as fast possible.

If your a new grad this is completely normal, just make sure you have all your info ready before you make that call maybe you can practice it once with a coworker.

I would say to this dude " so who do you think think is at the bedside 24-7"? a Dr I don't think so!!!

That's absolutely crazy!!!!

Take it if you like psych otherwise look for other opportunities. I myself could never do it.

Why would she need a refresher, that's silly! And very expensive specially when she's currently working.

That's crazy that they would use precedex for intubation, they probably have not been formerly educated with this drug. I have used it many times and we mainly use it to wean the pt off of the vent like other people have mentioned sometimes it works...

Become a member to a nursing organization you are interested in, also attend CEU's and conferences.

I tried to go the insurance's website but it not longer is posted.

I guess it all depends where you are going to be working, but you'll never feel like your current skills are worthless if anything you'll feel very comfortable being a nurse compared to a brand new grad, of course being a RN will open many doors and...

Yes, families suck big time. Even working in an ICU sucks, families come in in big crowds without calling bursting in and demanding answers, I usually ask them to step out if this happens and that I will get them as soon as I am done with my care to...

I'm not sure if I understand correctly you are already a RN in Argentina but without a BSN and recently passed your boards in the US and can not find a job? If this is so I am not sure why thats possible, if this is because you have have not practice...

I know that this incident probably hurt your feelings, but you just have move on and it will happen again, you can please everyone!!!

Stop stressing out over nothing, those two drugs do not show on drug but if it makes you feel better bring the two bottles and tell them you take them.

I have not taken PALS but I will soon since I want to be a CRNA. From what I have heard they are pretty comparable. I do think ACLS is pretty easy though, but I might just think it because I deal with it on everday basis. The first time though is ...

Are you kidding me? $ 20/hr is rediculous for NYC, so the people that are saying " quit complaining" or "beggars can't be choosers" Get a life. This is NYC and the pay should be much higher than that. I am assuming you are a new grad and do not k...

You reallly wont know if you want to work at certain hospital until you actually do your clinical there, sometimes this can be dissapointing, because you already have your mind set up that you want work at a particular hospital and once you get there...

Definetely, set your limits especially working in long term, I have run into a few of those therapist myself and they are a pain. I think she's also taking advantage because she knows your new. Just be upfront and clear, do not back down!

Honestly, I love the commercials, I know they can be kind of cheesy but I do like them they actually make me teary eyed sometimes!

4 to 1 or 3 to 1 depending if there's a cna otherwise is not a truly step-down I know someone mentioned 6 to 1 that's ridiculous!
