I am applying to the university hospital. I'm from Ohio and am not too familiar with the hospital. I have been to Morgantown a few times, love the area but would like more info on the hospital. I know it's a Magnet, etc but I want to hear from the...

Yes, please upload it.

There are ways to get it online for free too...

Just a heads up for anyone who applied or was thinking of applying for the new RN grad spots at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital. I just received an email from them notifying me that the position has been canceled at this time. Apparently t...

Where do you see that they hire new grad RNs? Or do you have an inside connection? And, is this truly NEW grads... or new grads that have already passed the NCLEX?

Wendy I too am living in Portland and am looking for places that hire new RN grads. I just filled out the application for the hospital in Corvallis. The drive will suck, but the pay will be nice. Maybe we could even carpool if we both got in there...

I'm a recent graduate moving to Oregon. I was told my the state board of nursing that you cannot work as a graduate nurse in Oregon. I was wondering if I should still apply to open RN positions and then possibly the hospital would work with me so t...

Tom, Thanks for the reply. This makes sense. I'll look for CNA positions and concentrate on passing the NCLEX, then hunt for RN positions! Sean

thanks! this is very, very helpful!

Hi all, I just started my Peds rotation last week. For our classroom work, we must write a 5 page paper on a very specific topic dealing with pediatrics and nursing. I am having trouble finding current, hot topics within Peds. That's where you all...

The issue is that it somehow has to reflect on what nurses can do to change something. With better patient teaching perhaps?

I really like the idea of blood products used despite their parents' religious beliefs. However, a point of this paper has to relate to nursing. How could nurses affect this? It's really up to the parents, nurses shouldn't use their belief system ...

I'm thinking of applying for the trauma care internship.

I am beginning to look for RN jobs. A hospital I have in mind offers a 12 week Internship that helps ease the transition from the classroom to the floor. There are many internships available. However, I'm not too sure which one would suite me best. I...

Hey all, I'm in my 2nd and final year of an ADN program. We'll be taking our 2nd exam next week over Diabetes. The first test was awful. The class average was a 58%. Ouch! That has me extremely worried. I am trying to better prepare myself for thi...

I am looking for alternative ways of studying. What I have been use to (reading & highlighting the book, then re-reading the highlighted parts) isn't working for me at all this semester. I have considered doing the same, but then recording the hi...

Unfortunately, we get very little out of lecture. We are given the power point slides as a handout and our professor reads straight from these (and they are very vague/limited - as PP should be). Basically, lecture is a waste of time because our prof...

So, you think I should continue what I have been doing... reading the chapters and highlighting what I feel is important. Then, instead of re-reading... write out the highlighted parts over and over again. I hope this helps. I have a 66% right now! e...

I was wondering what the job of a Patient Flow Coordinator / Supervisor was exactly? What are they responsible for? What is required of them?

Thanks, but I know how to google. I was asking for some more personal experiences.

I'll be graduating in May with an ADN. I live in Ohio now, but plan on moving somewhere else. I'm not sure where. I just know that I want to live in a bigger city where bands come through on a regular basis, where there is more to do, where there ...

I'll be finishing school next May, and after watching Michael Moore's film, SiCKO, I find myself wanting to do my part, somehow. I feel I should be an activist but am unsure how. Are there organizations looking for RNs to promote universal healthcar...

I want to put an ad in my local paper to gather any interest there may be for home care. I have been an STNA for over a year, and am in nursing school to become an RN (finishing next May!). I could not only do what an STNA is capable of, but I woul...

Add to that, I am also a male, so I should put that in the ad too as families with elderly men may like I am a male as well.

We need to make drug cards. I know, I know... fun, right?! Wrong! Anyway, does anyone know where I could find the following, to save time typing them out: Expectorants/Suppressants Anti-ulcer Anti-emetics Laxatives Anti-cholinergics Antacids Narcotic...
