Hey everyone! I am an oncology nurse making a transition into a new full time job in the Progressive Care Unit on the night shift. Any tips or suggestions on how to survive in PCU??

I have been a medical-surgical/oncology nurse for about 3 years now. My advice to you: develop a thick skin. These patients are going through a lot- especially young, newly diagnosed and rapidly spreading cases. So sometimes, they can not be in the b...

Well typically since you are working on an oncology floor, they will expect you to hang chemotherapy. I know for my hospital they paid us to get chemo certified and that is where I learned all about the chemotherapy meds, how to handle them, side eff...

Hey everyone, I just needed to let this out. I am currently going through the endorsement process in Georgia. My application was processed June 3 and I am still waiting for 2 things: my transcript (which I sent 3 weeks ago) and a name check to be pos...

It took me 5 weeks but you can call the BON to see how long it will take

hopefully it comes soon for you too. x fingers crossed x for you :)

Oh I will actually start on Aug. 8. I was suppose to start earlier, but there were some issues that needed to be resolved. I will let u know though

So finally on August 3, this issued me my license. It took about 5 weeks for the name search to finished and sent to GA BON. I literally called the BON everyday to make sure everything was going well since they also misplaced my transcript too. I'm j...

thank you all for your responses. I'm hoping this will be all resolved soon.

Hey everyone, I just need to let this out because I am completely frustrated. My fingerprints have been rejected by the Georgia board of Nursing two times, so I found out that they put a request for a name search to be done. Typically, Cogent and GA ...

Oh yes it is completely frustrating what you are feeling but just do not give up. If you give up what else are you gonna do. You have worked hard for your degree and you will get a job. I ended up moving out of state because I could not even a job in...

I do not know much about office nursing, but I do know that confidence and knowing about your strengths and how you handle difficult situations is helpful. Also, although your interview is tmw, if you can practice some, you cannot do them all, questi...

thank you for your response! It is very helpful reading about what a typical day will be like. I will start in an Oncology-Surgical unit next week, have no prior experience and am quite nervous.

Yea I know what you mean. I had to get off facebook for a while so I would not see those kind of comments. It is hard not to be bitter. I myself, have gone through about 150 applications, 1 interview, 2 prescreening interviews before I got my job and...

Ya, if you have just graduated, you do not need to worry about the 500 hours clinical experience. According to a lday I spoke to from the Georgia Board of Nursing, she said to ust put N/A and new graduate on the Employment history page, so they know ...

just an update..it took about 14 business days for the California BRN to cash my check in and process my verification. For the NM application, I had my temporary license number available online 2 business days after I mailed my application.

Hope it is good news. Good Luck!

Oh how wonderful! I hope that you will get the job!

np glad to be of help

try to include how your skills and or certain traits, you have or have learned learned in the clinical aspect of your nursing school will help the hospital achieve their mission statement, values or will consider you qualified. always tell them how y...

when you first clicked apply online, it takes u to another page that says: dear applicant: thank you for your interest in the rn residency in pediatrics program at loma linda university children's hospital. this innovative residency features a challe...

hey has anyone had calls for an interview for those who applied to San Joaquin? My phone is still lonely over here.

Well HR said for the recommendation letters you can scan a copy and email it to the address listed. For the BLS card, HR said that if you listed it down on the certifications part of the application, that should be enough. I would scan a copy and sen...
