can someone explain why we give both fluticasone aerosol and nasal spray?

that is the best word to describe what i am experiencing right now. i'm sure this is not the first time a new grad has posted on here during their orientation, but i don't know where else to go. i have had 13 shifts under my belt now on a med/surg ...

My brain is getting more organized finally, but some things slip through the crack still when I forget to write it down.

what happened to your preceptor?? if your charge was acting as your preceptor and going over things with you and making sure you do the right thing, i guess that's ok? i couldn't imagine taking my own FOUR patients after 2 weeks. hang in there. a...

i completely appreciate all the feedback that i have gotten. thank you all for taking the time out to talk me off the ledge. i went back for my 14th shift and while it was the craziest day i have had and i still stayed super late, i got through it ...

Yup! I haven't signed any paperwork yet so I just considered it a soft offer. Looking forward to meeting everyone!! I'm starting to stress about moving down there. As far as getting a temporary license, I think it's worth it. My permanent licens...

It takes FOREVER to transfer your license... so you should really consider getting a temporary license! And a facebook group sounds great!

Hey everyone, Finally accepted a soft offer for Acute Med 7E. I made it by the hair of my chinny chin chin! Anyone in the bay area that is looking to move close to the hospital or anyone else that might be interested in meeting up, feel free to sen...

Congrats Love! I still haven't heard from her... I'm thinking I didn't get it.

Hey Love, did you ever get a callback from the director? I am going nuts here!

I was expecting something towards the end of the week... so if I don't hear from her, then I'll call Monday? Let me know if you get an update LoveAlwaysV! I'm super nervous.

Everyone was SUPER nice. I needed someone to pinch me! I'm from the Bay Area like you. I told the director to not hold it against me that I am a Giants fan. HAHAHHA... hope I still get the job...

LoveAlwaysV, I interviewed also for Acute Med and also got a tour and I want it so much more now too! I walked around in a complete daze. It would be AWESOME to work there. Good luck to us both! I thought she was hiring less than that, but I must...

I have never even seen an Acute Medicine floor, but I have an interview soon and was wondering if anyone could share stories or advice on what to expect? I wanted to start in Med Surg for a general foundation, but I'm pretty sure that it would have ...

BlueGrassRN, Thank you so much for your speedy response! Based on what you're saying, I think it will be a good fit for me!

I just interviewed and absolutely got the same feeling. Not a fan of interviewing with robots...

That's pretty funny Mike. So if I haven't heard anything from Washington yet, does that mean I'm outta the game?

To anyone still looking for a place, I have a room available in my 3BR apt. Both of us are in the ETP program and are hoping to find someone to move in April 1st, but it can be somewhat negotiable. We moved from CA, so we definitely know how hard i...

Bummed to read this thread since I am just about to go to school in NY for an entry masters program. Moving from CA to NY, then paying a bunch of money for my degrees, and then coming out to no job?!

StarBelly, I think that's how it works... if you don't get your 1st choice, you get evaluated for your 2nd, and so forth. I applied in the same order as you too!

If anyone is in the bay area and would like to meet up and freak out, please PM me. I'd love to grab some food and a drink or two and talk about Columbia or anything else!

Hey everyone, has anyone filled out their FAFSA or received any financial aid information? Just wondering what the numbers look like... I know tuition is about 50K (which is $$$$$ for me) but I'm sure there are additional costs for books, uniforms, ...

Sorry Redsox... you are young though! Lots of time to pay off those loans! I don't want my parents' help at all so we are in the same boat, only you are younger.

That's a good option to have, definitely. Good lookin' out! I wonder how many clinical hours we will have in the first year... I hope a lot!

If we work as RNs during the Master's portion, does that mean we can't do F/T and we lose the SON scholarship?
