Do any of the health systems in your area have job fairs? If they do, this is a great way to meet several managers from different units. Also, job shadowing shows you are interested and is a great way to get your foot in the door.:heartbeat

Are yuu getting a flash when you insert the catheter? Are you having trouble threading the catheter? Or are you just getting nothing and really not feeling the vein?

We have to remove the backboard within 15 minutes of arrival at our facility. C collars stay on until they are cleared and the Dr writes an order to remove in. Adult pts are moved with log roll precautions and slide boards and peds have to be put back on the backboard prior to moving them anywhere. This is a new policy. I am certain if you do some research you can probably find a great deal that addresses the complication risks of leaving a person on a backboard for extended periods.

I am a nurse and I have 2 registered therapy dogs. It is very rewarding for us because it is wonderful socialization for our dogs and the patients love it. You can see their spirits lift instantly. If you are looking for more info on the training these pets receive try googling - Therapy Dogs International.

Hi, I just had this same interview a couple of months ago and got the job. First of all good luck with your interview. Give them a weakness that is something they would expect such as "I am not very good at inserting a foley catheter." or something that is not really a weakness but just a skill that you haven't mastered.
