  1. Feels like a slap in the face...

    JenRN30 replied to MECO28's topic in General Nursing

    You said this was your first choice unit, what kind of unit was it that you interviewed for? If it was something very specialized such as an ICU or some type of procedural unit, then I'm not really...

  2. Calculation Help

    JenRN30 replied to eoo7l's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sometimes things are so simple, it's easy to think "what am I missing?" Glad you got your answer

  3. Calculation Help

    JenRN30 replied to eoo7l's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If I understand the question right, you would be giving 3 units of PRBC's. At 5 gm/dl, you are 3 gm/dl below 8. 1 unit for each gm x 3 gm below = 3

  4. Need advice from night shift veterans!

    JenRN30 replied to Irock's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Irock, Congrats on your new job. Not a veteran night shifter, but I've been doing it for almost a year now and have adjusted pretty well. So, are you going to be expected to pick up your...

  5. Should I leave or should I stay?

    JenRN30 replied to Contrail's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of unit have you been offered a job on from the new facility? I agree with the others though, I would probably stay put. Progressive care would be a pretty easy transfer to ICU after about...

  6. John C. Lincoln

    JenRN30 posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi everyone, My family and I will be moving to Phoenix in the early spring, so I'm researching facilities that I might want to apply to. I've heard good things about John C. Lincoln, but there are...

  7. Student caught stealing....

    JenRN30 replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would think about pursuing it. This person should not be working with patients, who knows what they'd steal from sick, unsuspecting victims. Was it a lot of money that this person stole? I doubt...

  10. "We self schedule on this floor..."

    JenRN30 replied to Work in Progress's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is not fair and I would not put up with it. Speak with your manager and if nothing changes, start looking for a new job. I wouldn't (and didn't) put a job before my family. Nothing matters to...

    JenRN30 replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously,

  12. Career Change to Nursing

    JenRN30 replied to Jami2010's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, ebear.

  13. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    JenRN30 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Jobless, you are getting good advice here. Understand that this is not others trying to knock you down, it is real advice based on their clinical experience. The same goes for med/surg. Being a new...

  14. Pulse oximeter

    JenRN30 replied to sarpound's topic in General Nursing

    We do use them on the floor without central monitoring, but put the patient near the nurses station and set the volume on high. If the alarm goes off, it's so loud we cannot miss

  15. Need advice for night shift

    JenRN30 replied to TinaL29's topic in First Year After Licensure

    True, the transition is very hard for the first month or so. I think the most important thing for me was getting blackout shades so you can sleep when you get home. Trying to sleep with sun...

  16. John C. Lincoln

    JenRN30 replied to JenRN30's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks so much Dorimar!! I really appreciate the response. I've heard really good things about Boswell too. I'll definitely check out JCL, Banner Good Sam, and Banner Boswell. I'll only have a...

  17. College transcripts and first nursing job

    JenRN30 replied to Tua15395's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had to send in my transcripts after I got hired. A 3.0 was required for their new grad residency

  18. Critical Care Course: A Good Idea?

    JenRN30 replied to UserG's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused. You're an experienced nurse already working in the ER. Do they want you to sign this contract in order for you to stay on in the ER? Or are you switching to ICU? I would be really...

  19. Any night shifters split the difference?

    JenRN30 replied to I see you RN's topic in General Nursing

    It is really rough working night shift with kids. I had a really hard time staying awake at night for about the first month, but didn't have trouble going to sleep by 10pm on my days off. After...

  20. How many of you NGs are on nights?

    JenRN30 replied to netglow's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think I'd like to try 3-11's at some point. It sounds nice the way you describe it, Golden

  21. How many of you NGs are on nights?

    JenRN30 replied to netglow's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I make $13/hr more working weekend nights, so it's a big difference to

  22. GSU FALL 2010

    JenRN30 replied to bellefemme's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You will actually have lab the first part of the semester and then clinical the second part of the semester. So if you have lab on Thursdays, you'll be in lab for the first half of the semester every...

  23. Tell me again....it does get better?

    JenRN30 replied to Michelle123's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree. That's crazy to have the pt load and total care of all pts. No way I would be able to get all of that

  24. NURSE FOR HIRE!

    JenRN30 replied to Marquel MSN RN CCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't give up on acute care, if that's what you want. Call nurse recruiters, and nurse managers if you're able to get names and phone numbers. Do you have any friends that could put in a good word...

  25. How many of you NGs are on nights?

    JenRN30 replied to netglow's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Where I work, there is openings for both shifts so I had a choice. I chose night shift because of the differential, it makes a big difference in my paycheck. I like the night shift better than day...
