  1. Is clinic nursing relatively drama free (does everyone get along)

    IGiveTheShots replied to lost4's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I don't know. I work in school nursing. My situation is a little bit different because I'm a public health nurse directly affiliated with the county, not the school system. The school system has some...

  2. I want to be a nurse with a 9-5 job w/ weekends and holidays off

    IGiveTheShots replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm a nurse who works 8-4 with weekends and holidays off! Left the PICU for public health/school nursing for the county and it was the best decision I ever made. Oh, and to support your statement, I...

  6. The flu shot making people sick

    IGiveTheShots replied to psu_213's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wouldn't necessarily say she'd be tarred and feathered, more like questioned, like I just questioned you. And I agree, the debate still exists. But it only exists because of lack of education....

  10. DePaul's MENP questions

    IGiveTheShots replied to bcxllady's topic in Illinois Nursing

    You need a 3.2 in order to have your GRE waived. If you do not have a 3.2 (but your GPA is above a 3.0 or near it), you need to take a GRE and test with a combined score of 1000 or higher, and a...

  15. "NP's Are Smart Nurses" ????

    IGiveTheShots replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    Well then...I hate to be irreverent but let's consider this simple analogy: NPs are to smart nurses as PAs are to _________ doctors. (*hint* use your SAT skills) Juuuuusssstttt

  16. Georgetown University Hospital - What's it like?

    IGiveTheShots replied to IGiveTheShots's topic in General Nursing

  17. Georgetown University Hospital - What's it like?

    IGiveTheShots replied to IGiveTheShots's topic in General Nursing

    The application came out online sometime in October or November. I applied, took a Nursing Battery Test, had a short phone interview and was invited to New Grad Day. During NGD, I interviewed in the...

    IGiveTheShots replied to cute2's topic in General Nursing

  19. MRSA, Is this true?

    IGiveTheShots replied to cute2's topic in General Nursing

    There have been studies done (although regrettably I'm too lazy to find sources) where nurses' nares have been swabbed for MRSA and the majority tested positive. I assume this is because people who...

    IGiveTheShots replied to mightymitern's topic in Pediatric

    I know there are hospitals (like Children's National in DC) that have a peds orientation for experienced nurses. Also, I wouldn't be discouraged in applying for positions, even if it requires a year...

  22. How to get to the destination I hope for

    IGiveTheShots replied to Kilika421's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried other cities? You may want to branch out to the east and west coasts (mostly east since california is so selective) as well as texas and arizona. There are many sublets to chose from in...

  23. DePaul MENP '10??

    IGiveTheShots replied to IGiveTheShots's topic in Post Graduate Students
