You need to relocate! look into albany, buffalo...I had to move to another state and got hired in an ICU! so for nyc: screw you!!! ol' picky selfs!

Hey guys, my question is when do you let the doctor know for low urine output? I know to report less than 30ml/hr but how many hours do you go on by? do you let them know if let's say the last three hours have been At night do you follow the same protocol? Do you wake up a doc if urine is low? Please give me some feedback, I'm a new ICU nurse ? Thank you.

Is this true? How many years experience do you think it's good to have before applying somewhere else? I'm a new grad who's starting ICU orientation soon..

Wow sounds like your preceptor sucks!!

I thought 6 months was the usual time to start somebody as charge nurse? 1 month is ridiculous!

I think I'll buy one of the incredibly easy books.

Not snotty but it seems you didn't care for it until you saw what other nurses had...I would let it be I honestly don't see how having a BSN on your badge is all that important.. what matters is that you are an RN. I feel patients don't look at that stuff anyway (degree type) it's more of nurses competing and showing off with other nurses. My 2cents. Btw I have a BSN (putting it out there for the smart comments I will probably get)

Hi everyone, I'm about to be a year out from my graduation and feel like I don't remember anything! I have my RN license, no jobs, and will be shadowing soon. I need a good review book so I don't look like an idiot! Should I buy a Nursing for dummies book??? Please help!

How many beds? over 900? also what is considered a small hospital? What's average? :loveya:

Which one is best to wear to a job interview?

Hi everyone, I'm currently searching for a job and I have 3 days (fri, sat, sun) in January I plan to take a trip. If I get hired will my employer let me have these days off? what I'm asking is can the scheduling be done so I don't work these days or would I be asking too much being a newbie? Also how soon after getting hired can you take leave? Should I just be upfront w/ employers that offer me a job that these 3 days in jan I would like to be off?? I need to know if I can schedule this trip now. Thank you! :loveya:

This thread is so helpful:)

I do not think it's pain relief. If you unclump the sickled cells by giving fluids there wouldn't be any pain.

This makes sense!

I have never seen beer as one of the choices. Only oxygen or fluids.

What areas are you weak on? focus on those. if it's peds read about peds and then do questions only on peds from different books/online. I think you should up your studying hours.

Which one do you do first? I have done a couple of questions and some books say fluids others say oxygen. I'd like to know which one the NCLEX people want. Any input is appreciated. Thank you.

:lol2::lol2:

Thank you all for making it crystal clear

i would really like too know this since cnas and lpns are under supervision of a rn wouldn't the rn be under the supervision of the physician? thanks for all input.

Which minors do you recommend the most for a nursing major? I'm thinking biology, sociology, social work, public administration, political science.. what else..? Do you have a minor and has it helped you? Any input is appreciated.
