Hi all, I recently had a phone interview for an assistant nurse manager position on a mother baby unit. I have 7 years of nursing experience, 4 yrs of that in mother baby, charge nurse experience, but this is my first time applying for this type of ...

No, while I enjoy women's health I miss working with patients across the lifespan.

Hello! I work on a post partum unit. My hospital is in a big city and attached to a university. The medical group employs midwives and i think they are quite busy. As a l&d nurse, you may get one or two patients at any given shift, based on their...

Hello! I am hospice nurse and that title "case manager" can be sooooo misleading. You are doing hands on skilled nursing. I think how well you adapt will depend on your company. When I got hired at mine, it was so short staffed and I was unable to ge...

My vote is for#1 ! It sounds like a great opportunity. I may be a bit biased though because I'm seeking a position sort of what you described in #1 and if I'm offered the opportunity, I'm taking it :)

Glad to see a good review about the practice book. I just received it today and hope it will help me adequately prepare.

Sojourner-Douglass College could become part of for-profit Virginia school - Baltimore Sun Stratford has agreed to take over S-DC.

I'm at the hospital center in DC but I believe tuition reimbursement starts after 3 months of full time employment.

If you apply for a new job, it may not be a good idea to list your manager as a reference. See if you can use some of your charge nurses as references.

I was a CNA and LPN during my time in nursing school. I worked pretty much every weekend. And occasionally I'd work 1-2 days during the week. It was not fun but it helped me learn more about healthcare and I believe it helped me when obtaining my fir...

I am a 2013 alum of SDC and I'm very sad about the news. Has the school of nursing provided you all with any help?

I think they open at 0800. Call them first thing and speak to them. The only way to get a license is to call non-stop 😔 Edit: to answer your question, I have only gotten a temp.

I know a nurse on my that had LTC experience too and they put her in the new grad internship program. It's not exactly fair to label you as a new grad, but if you are seeking an acute care position that may be an option for you to get your foot in t...

I called them too last Thursday and got the same story. I see you're going to be at the hospital center too so maybe we will be in orientation together lol. I read something about a supervised practice form here on this website. Maybe I can ask abou...

I'm in the same boat. Has anyone had any success with calling? I applied last Wednesday and they have cashed my check, according to my bank. I hope that is a sign that they are processing my application.

I am in MD. I have been working on a med-surg floor since January of this year and I worked both days and nights (currently on nights). On day shift I was typically 1:5 or 1:6 at the beginning of the shift, but with discharges and admissions it could...

My BSN program gave us the option to take LPN NCLEX after the first year. I did and passed on the first try. I got a job in a jail, and finished up my final year of school. Now granted, when I finished my BSN, some interviewers weren't all that inter...

Almost three months after passing the NCLEX.

This has been my rationale too. I started my job (also med-surg) in January and I have started the application process a couple of weeks ago. I figure by the time they call me, it will probably be January by then. I'm not only tired of med-surg ,I'm ...

Sorry to thread jack but I feel like this relates. Our manager wants us to do bedside reporting. Although the majority of our rooms are private, we do have thee semi private rooms on the unit. I feel like going inside the room and doing report while ...

That is tough. Morphine gets my #1 vote though, followed by lovenox, Percocet, vancomycin, and insulin.

CNA-19, LPN-22, BSN -23

Totally worth it!! I did the financial peace class last fall at church and it helped a ton.

I agree. When I worked in corrections and I saw my pts(inmates) quite often on the evening news. It's never okay to comment about them via Facebook or whatever.

I started out as a new LPN at a county jail. I left after a year because I had just finished my BSN & wanted acute experience. I've been working on a med-surg floor for six months as a new grad RN and I'm grateful for my experience. Now I've just...
