the post was more than i expected. i currently make 30.00 per hour base pay without the hospital's benefits. the salaries may be around the same for me between carolina and nyc, only with benefits.

thanks for the very informative post -jt. it was truly more than i expected. ltm

hi brianna, it sounds as though you want to work in the newborn nursery or in labor and delivery. i currently work in the level 2 section of the newborn nursery and every once and a while i get to work with the healthy newborns in the level 1 section of our nursery. i went to undergraduate for 4 years and got a degree in chemistry and then i went to nursing school for two years and got my bsn. hope this helps. ltm

We were never required to hand write drug cards, but in the clinical area we had to have either our drug book or preprinted drug cards. Some instructors required you to know most of the info on the cards, while others just wanted to know whether you bothered to familiarize yourself with drugs you would be administering. Yet I think that hand writing drug cards would aid in memorization, more than be busy work. Clinical was a pass/fail evaluation. Learning info about drugs aided me in pharmacology and other classes. lmcqueen [email protected] [This message has been edited by ltm (edited July 05, 1999).]
