Congrats to everyone that got hired at Washington. :yeah:Good Luck

So funny, I just had a PPD done and for the first time it was raised, red, itchy and funky looking a couple of hours after having it done. I was ready to freak out too ( starting a new job today and didnt need the delay) the next day it was gone. See...

Well I was working and going to nursing school full time 3 weeks after having my baby. My pumping never got in the way of me doing my job or class. I always used my breaks and lunches to pump. The only time I couldnt pump is when we were off site and...

I worked as a community health educator before going into nursing. Now I have my PHN and I am a L&D nurse. I would have to say that the reason I wanted to go into nursing was because I wanted to provide patients and clients with all the correct ...

Dont worry. Many people are carriers which means that if you become immune compromised then you may get sick with active TB. Most people get it from their home country where its prevalent, prior BCG vaccination or from family members they spent a lo...

:yeah:Congrats on passing and Good Luck on your interview.

I had a group interview with 5 other people. They stated that they were interviewing 90 in the first round and about 45 in the second. They will be hiring 20 people total. I was asked for the 2nd interview but declined. The program is set to start in...

:yeah:Thanks so much for this. Im a nurse tech now soon to be working RN and Im so grateful for the expereince of helping out the nurses and learning so much from the CNA's too. I wish that all nurses would have worked as CNA's or tech before going o...

You never know. I did 265 questions about 5 hours and passed. Good Luck

I am currently finishing my EL-MSN program this year. I had my baby in the middle of the program. I do have the hubby's help but I went to school with a few single parents. My mom and MIL help a ton. My mom used her vacation time to watch her while I...

I have oatmeal in the morning lots of fiber and holds me for hours. They make high fiber oatmeal bars that I like better than the powerbars. Yogurt with fruit for snacks. Sandwich for lunch if I cant get away. Cheese sticks and almonds for quick snac...

I am an assistant on a Med-Surg unit and I watch the nursing students interact with the nurses. There are some who dont want to have anything to do with med-surg and literally turn their nose up to the patients and their care ( we have a mostly homel...

I really depends on your experience and the unit. My boss said that he could hire me per diem night( temporary) with some training involved. Its a med-surg unit where I have been working as a nurse tech and the nurses have been unofficially training ...

I know folks here in California who dont have HS/GED and are CNAs

I just had an interview with Washington. They are having first round interviews this week which was about 90 out of 700 applicants. They are looking for BSN or higher since they are going for magnet. The 2nd round will be in 2 weeks.

If you interview for a position do you always get a rejection notification by email or phone? Im asking because I have a couple of job interviews and I am waiting on one job to call back ( hopefully with an offer). And for those who got job offers ...

Congrats. I hear there was over 500 applicants. Which unit did you get?

im still waiting to hear back about a job. I had 3 total interviews. They told me that they would let me know within 2 weeks for their decision. They need to hurry up because their program starts in august and I would have to make a lot of arraignmen...

For those of you who got called for interviews did she ask you to email a picture. I thought this was weird never heard of a headshot before a hospital interview. I forgot to ask her why she needed it ( I was rushing the phone call since I had a kid ...

Im in their GMSN program which is pretty much the same until after 5th semester. The program is going through some changes in terms of administration so as far as i know the program is 5 semesters long ( no summers). The clinical sites are all over t...

Every place is different. I just randomly saw my job posted. It didnt say tech but it stated Aide. I read the description and it stated they wanted nursing students with at least 1 yr of nursing school completed. Look at the facilities job posting an...

I dont have a job offer yet. Just thinking ahead. I have had a couple of interviews for an L&D new grad position ( looks really promising) with one hospital that is over an hours drive to from my house. After asking about the hospital and what i...

For my tech position I got lucky and my unit lets me do pretty much everything. Dressing changes, give meds (with nurse supervision), blood draws, assessments, foleys, etc. Some of my friends on other units are not so lucky but I got the job when I w...

You best bet would be to use research articles. You should have access through your school or medical center. You can also find a lot of free ones on googlescholar, pubmed, etc.

They are taking over my car and house. LOL. I have also left with flushes, red caps, IV start kits, 2x2. I work for a county hospital so everyone stuffs their pockets before shift because there is no telling if you will have supplies come lunch time....
