  1. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    jelly221,RN replied to nurse_16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've never seen it happen, but doesn't mean that it can't. It's such a small unit, and from what I've seen, the nurses there love it. Don't let that stop you! I think it's way better to go for what...

  2. Do you do venipunctures as a nurse?

    jelly221,RN replied to CassB's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE the idea of having a day in pre-op to practice skills- I just graduated, but I'll bring that up to my program director. We learned IVs and got a fair amount of practice in clinicals. We...

  3. Accelerated BSN/MSN Grads - Jobs?

    jelly221,RN replied to 10yearreunion's topic in Nursing Career

    Kinda old thread, but figured I'd weight in. I'm a newly graduated ADN, taking NCLEX in 3 weeks. My preceptor told me that the MSN students she sees are clueless clinically- drawing up insulin with...

  4. Got ATT.... but am I OK to schedule?

    jelly221,RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OK, so a bunch of people from my school are having an issue. A few of us got our ATTs, but the Nursing department staff say that we can't schedule our NCLEXs yet because they haven't sent our...

  5. New Interns are coming

    jelly221,RN replied to esrun00's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry, you'll be fine. I had a few rotations at teaching hospitals, and even as a 3rd and 4th semester student I knew more than some interns. Lots of book knowledge, but no idea how to...

  6. Got ATT.... but am I OK to schedule?

    jelly221,RN replied to jelly221,RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's not my issue- I already have my ATT. My issue is someone from my school telling me I have to wait for them to send transcripts in, even though I already have my

  7. What do you do if you are assigned a patient you know outside of work?

    jelly221,RN replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. understand this with boyfriend's ex. Of course I'd try to care for her like anyone else, but it'd be hard, and I'd probably have some subconscious block about it. Props to your friend for being...

  8. Eating their young?

    jelly221,RN replied to pashark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    West Coast =) earthquakes aren't too bad... yet! OP- I can't believe the nerve of some of your classmates! In my program, all of the people with attitudes that poor were weeded out, or nursing...

  9. Do your RN's appreciate you as a PCT/CNA?

    jelly221,RN replied to mamaxmaria's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    This is my experience as well when I have nights like that, which are few and far between. RNs are usually nice to me and excited to talk about school, NCLEX, jobs,

  10. Nursing Student Looking For Hospital CNA/PCA/PCT Position And Struggling

    jelly221,RN replied to SuchanSuch's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Wow! I got lucky. I've worked as a Nurse Tech since right after I completed my 1st semester. I just called HR and asked if I was eligible to work as a CNA and they said no, but you can work as a...

  11. How soon should a student start applying for jobs?

    jelly221,RN replied to cjd2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Start applying for new grad programs ASAP. They don't require you to be licensed before hand. Start calling nurse recruiters and nurse managers on floors you'd like to work on or have had clinical...

  12. Upcoming New Grad Applications?

    jelly221,RN replied to RN1218's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When did you speak to the recruiter at LCM? I spoke with him a week ago and he was uncertain if there would be a program, and if so, it'll be very

  13. Health care costs are RIDICULOUS!!!!

    jelly221,RN replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    that IS getting off easy. your friend is lucky there wasn't a Cardiolyte stress test on the bill too. I went to the ER early this year for a migraine- 1 bag of NS, 4mg of morphine, and compazine...

  14. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    jelly221,RN replied to nurse_16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm interested in either ICU, but would work in PCU as well. Also the burn unit fascinates me, but I don't know if they hire new grads. I really like working there- I'm float pool, so I've been to...

  15. Is this legal?

    jelly221,RN replied to ocmama's topic in General Nursing

  18. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    jelly221,RN replied to nurse_16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Because I work there as a tech =) I believe they take your choice into consideration, but it also depends on what openings they have available. And then like every job, based on who they've accepted...

  19. Student Nurse Tech in CCU?

    jelly221,RN replied to su9032's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Ditto what nursingpower says. I worked as a Float Pool tech during school, and while it was one of the best decisions I made, I really wish that I was in a specific unit/dept to facilitate a job...

  20. Any St. Vincent's or St. Lukes (Jax, FL) nurses out there?

    jelly221,RN replied to GradNurseFL's topic in Florida Nursing

    No, I'm in LA. Graduated NS on Friday =D have thought about moving back to Jax if stuff doesn't work out here... boyfriend wouldn't like that too much though, so I'll probably tough it out here....

  21. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    jelly221,RN replied to nurse_16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They're not going to post anything until July. That's what it is- recruiter is in HR, then if she approves you, you go on the the panel interview. They do a lot of behavioral questions, and grade...

  22. Will volunteering as an RN disqualify me from new grad positions?

    jelly221,RN replied to yesyesiwould's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Whoa! That looks like an awesome experience! How'd you find that? I'd love to do something like that, I'm in the LA area. LMK if you know of anything like that down here, and have

  24. Am I waisting my time with associates degree?

    jelly221,RN replied to chall2011's topic in General Nursing

    Not true. I have a Bachelor's in Music, and I just graduated with an ADN. I SO wish I'd done an accelerated BSN. I feel like my school prepared me very well, but it's way harder to get a job with...
