yea this is a dead forum...good luck in your search..I saw that Truman had a new grad position. They seem to be very selective though in their process. What about centerpointe?

did you ever find out? I will going to them tomorrow for the test process. Looks like I need to be doing homework tonight.

Have you heard back from them? I am in a similar situation as you are. I have applied to numerous hospitals in the MO side and heard back from very few. FYI: I recently moved here from STL and have 3.5 years of experience. I dont understand the deal ...

I was called into the head nurses' office yesterday about an annonymous complaint made against me with JCAHO. I spoke with the nurse manager and she said that everything she had looked up was clear and they were sending back a clear record to state b...

what kind of lawyer?

I plan on showing my nurse manager the text message he sent me this morning when she gets to work. I am in just shock that this happend to me and I'm so angry. Thank you for support.

I work on an oncology med floor and i give report starting with the patients name, attending doctor, admission date, age. then i go to diagnosis, history, allergies, if they are on any precautions ( fall, aspiration etc..) Iv site and it if it saline...

I had to write my first incident report yesterday and I'm pretty upset about it. Please let me know if I was in the wrong. My pt. was transferred to my floor from the ICU. ( oncology/med) floor. SHe was on 8 liters of 02 and was satting at 84%. Durin...

I had been writing on here about finding a job and so forth. Well I was hired on at Barnes. I didn't realize that a DUI was a criminal misdemeanor so I answered no to that question. I thought criminal meant something like assault, battery or drug cha...

it was a high flow nasal cannula. not a regular one.

I'm a little frustrated right now. Last week at clinicals one of the girls in my group said that she felt sorry for me because I was too nice to be a nurse. I asked her what she meant and she said I was too nice to my patients and also too nice to th...

While I was in school our sex life dwindled down to once a week and believe me I heard about it daily. My fiance eventually left me after almost 4 years together and almost immediately he found a 22 year old (10 years younger than himself). it's the ...

You're post was very encouraging. I start my RN job June 9th and am nervous about that first year. I'm glad to hear it's been a positive experience for you.

I know that St. Lukes only hires techs that already work there in the Er or ICU but on the floors they hire from outside the facility. They only hire once a year in the ER and I think this year they had 2 positions. Not sure about ICU.

I'm in St. Louis and they're calling for snow sunday PM. I can't believe it. I planted my flowers last weekend thinking the worst was over. Hopefully they can make it one more night.

I work at St. lukes PRN and they only require that I put in 24 hours a month. They can be any day. As far as working there to get you in, that would probably be beneficial but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get a job there after you graduate...

I'm starting at St. Lukes and my base pay is 18.88. i have been a tech there since september. I'll be working nights so i'm getting an extra 3.75 per hour during the week for that. not sure what weekend nights differential is.

Congratulations! I just accepted my first job on an oncology medicine floor in St. Louis..I'm already a tech on the floor so i'm hoping the transition is going to be okay..I graduate June 7th and start June 9th. So much for a break! but I'm really ex...

I've started to watch my driving and don't make useless trips. I"ve also started driving slower to get better gas mileage.

you can always look on craigslist for apartments. I see some good deals on there also. I found my 3 bedroom house with a fenced in backyard in a good neighborhood for $850/month

I work at St. Lukes as a tech and I really enjoy it. In order to be a PCT II ( where you draw blood, foley's, VS) they prefer that you are finished with fundamentals but I know some people who switched to PCT II's pretty quick after being PCT I's. I...

I'm with you on the stress. I'm graduating in June and I can't take it anymore. Throughout the whole program I saw that others were stressed out but I never was. Now at the very end I'm struggling. Many things have gone wrong in my personal life in t...

I read your post and figured it was St. Lukes'. I currently work there as a PCT II (should be III though since i'm graduating in May). I chose to work there this past fall so I would have some experience. Working there you will be blood draws, EKG's ...
