thanks for the advices, you guys are great! I am currently in an RN refrsher course and half way done. I will be shadowing a Er but is just one day. I don't know what else to do? Someone told me to be a tech but I already have my Rn degree. So t...

thanks for replying guys. I stayed home after having my babie and decided to be a fulltime stay at home mom. I don't know if you guys have children but life had change so much for me. Not only I am so comfortable with kids but I also have mature a...

Thank you alll for replying. JBUDD... is NF seen often in the ER?

smilesqd I wish you the best as I too had a similar situation. Same scenario. Manager said they would be there for me. Once I got to the floor it was a different story. It turned out they ask me to resign and now I am in a refresher course. I ho...

I have been browsing this forum for a while and I don't seem to find many people from CT. WHere are you guys. I would love to see how CT. How the hospitals are and how are the nurses there. Please don't be shy sign in.

I have a chance to shadow any unit out there for school but can't seem to figure out what to pick???? I would like to see an ER but what else is there?? any suggestions?

I want to say i like the heart but I have seen a cardiac unit and wasn't to impressed. Maybe it was cause it was a very small hospital. I should look into another floor. Thanks again

Everyone has great ideas. Thanks so much in replying. I honestly don't know what I like. I did medical surgical before and I know that is not what I like. ER sounds exciting but scary at the same time. ICU seems like a very intense area but who ...

Thank you so much guys. I feel a lot better. The nurses on the floor have been so friendly and supportive. I love it so far. Is just alot of info all at once. I have to read up on MIBI"S and stress test, cath lab and so on.

Hello fellow nurses, I will be starting in a cardiac unit next week. I have seen the floor and is so overwelming. I had an idea about how the pt turnover would be but I guess I am scared I will fail. I want to learn as much as I can about the hear...

mamason, thanks you so much for writing. I actually had my 1st day today and had the best preceptor ever. I just have to come up with my own paper system of keeping report together. How do you do it?

Hello to all fellow Cardiac RN's. I will be starting my new job in a Cardiac/Tele Floor soon. I feel nervous that many people feel I have more under my belt then I do. I have 1yr experience but that was about 4yrs ago. I feel like a new grad all ...

Mama and Tom thank you so much for your advice. I will be starting in a couple of wks. There is so much to review. But very excited to start working in a cardiac floor. Thanks

hi there, I couldn't help but to reply to your post even though I am not a new grad. I have did nursing for a while and left for yrs and now coming back to it. I want to tell you that as an experience nurse I can't seem to find a job either. I don...

Mish thanks so much for replying. I will let you know as I should hear from them in 2wks for a shadowing position. I will be shadowing two floors a med and surgical foor. Thanks again

Thanks for replying. I went to their open house this week. thanks for answering my questions

Mish56 what is the nurse to pt ratio? What department do you do? I use to work at a hospital where the nurses would have 6pt or more. I hated that it was definetly unsafe.

Not to sound mean and all but as nurses we need to be more sensitive for the way others speak or say things. My 1st language is not English and is really hard at times for my tongue to say certain words. When I was in nursing school I learned ever...

That is great advice, Thanks I will use that for sure Has anyone started yet? How is it like? I am considering starting Oncology too but not sure what to expect. Any info those of you who said you started early JULY.

Hi there, I can totally relate. When I was a new GN I too felt that way. Believe me no one could tell you the truth about the stress you feel working in a hospital until you live it. Part of it is the nursing shortage. We run around like chickens...

:typingI just started my summer bio class and so far is alot of stuff. What is everyone using to help them out with this class? Any websites? What book are you using? the class is 6wks AH! maybe we can support each other

Done too! Got an A+ wow with kids and all. It was a class I hated and loved at the same time. Good luck to all of you.

Roxy... welcome to the forum

I know this can be offensive but was wondering if any NP who works with PA find that they have more medical background or more well rounded on dx and diagnosis? Any info would be helpful

I was wondering if any one has taken this two day seminar. I don't want to spend all this money when I could just review all the systems on my own. I guess what I wanted to know is, IS it like putting all the pieces together to come up with care or...
