Have him go with you. I actually didn't go to my first appt. until I was 24..(I know that's bad) My fiancee went with me because i was so nervous and I felt alot better that he went. Really it's not a big deal to go. Tell her it's your first time an...

I work as a PCT and make 11.00 per hour but I am PRN so no benefits. I think if you're part time it's around 9.80 per hour. My differential is evenings extra 1.15 and nights add 1.65 and then weekends add an extra dollar. so if i'm working saturnday ...

I think she's great and definetly unique. I hope she makes it far. She is going to be one of the main reasons i watch the show.

I work at St. Lukes and I am pulled to different floors all the time. I notice that most of the nurses and very nice and pleasant to work with. If you haven't had fundamentals of nursing then they will start you out as a patient care tech I and then ...

I am doing my OB rotation now. I had a newborn with a bilirubin of 10 and also a small scalp laceration due to birth. I need help coming up with nanda's for the bilirubin and maybe an idea for the scalp laceration. For the scalp I can do risk for inf...

Thank you so much for these responses. I am usually very good with my careplans but for some reason I was stumped. Now it makes sense and I understand it alot better than what I did before.

I have taken a PRN job as a PCT on the oncology/med floor at my hospital. I took the job because i wanted more hospital experience and exposure. I had never worked in the med. field before and I'm graduating June of 08. I find the experience very val...

I know someone who worked baylor and then went to NP school monday-friday. It took her 2 1/2 years to complete the program. She said it was tough but managed to do just fine throughout the program.

I'm a retired waitress and will graduate with my RN in June.

I received 100% med-surge and then 88% critical care. I'm still a student and am a tech on a medical/oncology floor so that's probably why i rated so high there. I haven't had OB or peds yet but I know that I'm not that interested in that aspect of n...

The other night i was pulled to a new floor and I was assigned 28 patients. I am a tech and will graduate with my RN in June. I was behind as soon as I had gotten there. There were 4 techs that were leaving and 11:00pm vitals were due. None of the vi...

Thanks for the replies. I am feeling better now. I was pulled to a neuroscience floor that night. The nurses did their best to help me but I was just really overwhelmed that night. I hope that it doesn't happen again when i go in tomorrow night or sa...

Our graduation ceremony is June 8th. can't wait but feel like I don't know anything. It seems that this is a pretty normal feeling though.

i have the option not to work while in school so i didn't. I will be graduating this coming June and I will start a PRN job as a PCT just so I can learn time management skills and become familiar in the hospital setting. I think that if you don't ha...

I was on craigslist and I saw that a nursing had put herself on there looking for a job. She said that she was a senior nursing student at the local university and she was open to working. I don't know what happend but it's an idea. I saw that there ...

I am a nursing student and will graduate this coming June. On Friday I had an interview for a tech position on 2 floors. I have a friend who works in this hospital and she has her opinions about each floor and I don't know if I should listen to her a...

That is what i'm planning on doing. I'm bummed but it's not the end of the world. I have alot going on right now between starting school next week and moving into a house the first of september. My mom said everything happens for a reason and it coul...

I did write a letter explaining what happend. I think the 90 days is just their policy. What I am thankful for is that right now I am not in desperate need of a job so it's okay what happend in a sense. I'm just upset with myself because the extra mo...

Hello I currently live in St. Louis and have one year of nursing school finished. I recently decided to apply for PCT jobs. The hospitals have many listings available for these positions so I figured I would get a call back rather shortly. I applied...

I went to a scrub shop yesterday to get some cranberry pants. The lady showed me two possible cranberry colors. One was a burgandy/wine color and the other was more of a pink color. Has anyone worked at Barnes and had to wear the cranberry scrubs? W...

I was hired on at Barnes 2 weeks ago for a student nurse tech position. I went today for my pre-employment health screening and now am on board! I had to call the recruitment office and put my name out there though. It is a pain to get hired. You hav...

drug test, hepatitis A&B, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, PPD..i think that's it. I went to the health department and paid $45 for the twin Hep A & B for each. There are 3 you have to get over 6 months.

I finished my first year and haven't done either one. I'm really hoping to do some this year so I'm ready when I graduate in June.

I had an interview last wednesday and they called me back thursday and offered the job. I did call the recruitment office they day before they called me for an interview so I think that helped. Now I'm just waiting for another call back to go and ah...

I'm also the same way. I actually have the NCLEX book but have yet to study it. I took 2 other classes that aren't towards my nursing degree and I'm having a hard time studying them because I feel like it's not conducive to my career. When I'm done w...
