Today, I went to be fitted for my TB mask. Unfortunately, I was told that I failed for all three mask sizes available...saying my face is too long and thin...I am trying not to be upset, but the HR people did not seem to know what to do. Has this h...

hi i am a new grad working at an icu at upenn. i think you need to look into the residency programs at the hospitals. that is the only way you can get in as a new grad

Hi, I am a new nurse in a MICU. I have had numerous preceptors and as a result I feel like I have yet to adopt a solid assessment style. I sometimes feel like I am all over the place. Any suggestions? Can you tell me your assessment routine?

Rosemary- It is for BSN. HUP doesn't hire ADNs anymore, I think.

after one year at penn, you get about 33

I just started at Penn for 27 something. Jefferson is about the same, maybe a 0.15 difference.

In Pa, you are not able to take the NCLEX until you finish you BSN program. In fact, before you test you must turn in an ATT- application to test. The ATT requires the signature of the BSN program director stating that you finishing all BSN require...

pretty sure cooper has one...upenn gives you 10,000 if youwork there 4 yrs. (1000 after first year, 2000 and year 2 etc)

One thing to remember about Presbyterian is that it is a residency program. This means that it only begins at certain times of the year. If I were you I would call ASAP and find out when the next one is...

Hmmm in my opinion I would go to Jeff. I am unsure if CHOP has the same benefits as UPenn...if so it is worth looking into. UPenn still offers a pension and unlimited tuition reimbursement and 10,000 for loan repayment if you are there 5 yrs. Howe...

Hmm I get more annoyed when you are just walking in for the first time doing your assessments and they NEED to know if you are married, have kids etc?? And I work in an ICU!!! They are barely awake and STILL want to know all of my business.

no the yellow is pretty bad. you can see an ACE student from a mile away. and we definitely stick out on the floors.

Hello. I am a GN starting in the MICU. What organizations/associations do you suggest I join? What journals should I subscribe to? Do you think that it is too early for me to even think about this?

i may have made this up in my head...but i think it has something to do with progesterone having a laxative effect. darn! now i have to look it up...ill get back to you.

The clinical hours are the same in every program. The clinical hours are those set by the Board of Nursing in order to qualify for a license. Although it is accelerated, you still do the same number of clinical hours. You just do them all in one w...

Yes Drexel University ACE program...11 mos...starts again in March

thank you. i was thinking that that may be the situation...i just don't want to be left behind.

Yeah they were having problems like a year or so back. However, I just ordered scrubs etc on Thursday night and I got an email that my order was shipped on Friday....

I am wondering if it is standard practice to make RNs undergo random drug testing? Why don't MD's fall subject to this? Does anyone know if this is common practice at UPenn?

Well, I don't think that this would affect you since/....it sounds like discrimination if someone does not hire you due to health problems. I will tell you that some (not all) nursing jobs ask if you can lift 15 lbs ..or some number like that...woul...

I don't mind...and even understand the necessity for pre-employment drug testing. I guess what annoys me is that in the future I will have to put unpaid time and effort into going to random testing. Whereas, my boyfriend who is in his last year of ...

allheart.com....best prices i have ever seen

well i was deciding btwn the both myself, just a few mos ago. i went the icu route only bc it would allow for me to gain more certifications. and my resume was already full of oncology work due to my previous degree. but to me it sounds like you a...

Thank you. I am calling around today. On another thread that someone recommended I read. I saw that someone advised not reporting having insurance to your employer. Do they regularly ask? How legal is this?

Please help. I have received such mixed messages about obtaining personal insurance. Some professors told me to get the insurance, while others say never to get insurance or else patients go after you.... Also, if I want to get insurance who should...
