Pinkster

Anyone a case manager at a HealthSouth Rehab? I have an interview monday, and there are two positions open CM II and CM Pool. The job descriptions are identical, does anyone have any insight? Is it a good company to work for? I am trying to break int...

I worked on a cardiac floor, it was a step down unit. It was only a 15 bed unit and depending on acuity (we also had post op open heart pts) we would have 3-5 pts. We were expected to pull arterial and venous sheaths post cath, days and night shift a...

The interview was good, The most like a 'typical' interview I have had, with more formal with questions they have to answer and such. First I met with the Human Resources Lady (Director I suppose) and had an interview with her, then on a separate vis...

I was a New Grad on a similar floor. (been there for 1 year). I work on the Cardiovascular Progressive Care Unit and I Love it! We are the only unit that takes the open heart patients after CVRR (Cardiovascular recovery room) are hemodynamically stab...

On our cardiac proressive care unit I go answer a call light to a man who is beingworked up for open heart surgery, completely oriented. I ask him why he called he points to the bag on his. Table with a secimin cup in it and states there is his sampl...

"What does a male nurse practioner do?" The same as a female nurse practioner. Seriously?

I am a new RN (undr one yr) but I have worked ER as a tech and now on a cardiac foor as an RN and I fail to see where this major issue is on your part. The patient made it to the hospital and to cath lab and was treated.. you followed protocol. Used ...

Ok, I need some advice from those who are in or completed their first semster in nursing school. I am finishing up my pre-reqs and can begin the application process to the nursing program in my area. One of the campuses that offers it is 10 min from ...

keep looking ,try every opportunity. LTC can give you experience if that is all that is available, then you can always keep looking while you are there, but you will have some kind of experience. here in central Fl, jobs are scarce I graduated in May...

It just sounds like they have dumped part of the secretary's role directly onto your lap. I would bring this up to the managers and see if your co-workers are having the same issues. I agree that it is very disrupting to your care and safety of the p...

We have given doughnuts and coffee. Perhaps a healthier option, like subs if $$ available, but everyone responded so well to doughnuts and coffee, well mainly the free coffee :)

Can you accept the job with the start date being after May 17th?

Wow your job sounds like my dream job! I want to work with teen parents as a FNP, but am a new ASN graduate, so If i could specialize with them now it would be such a blessing ( I was a teen mother myself). Do you work through a company/agency if so...

Wow I envy you for that. I live in a rural area, so everything is spread far apart. I have to fill up (60) once a week if I take my son to day care everyday. and When I start working I will be spending about 100 I figured per 3 shifts just on gas to ...

I'm a nursing student in my second semester on the hunt for a summer job. I have an interview on Wed. as PCT in a local Surgery Center. My goal is to work in the OR, or even at a surgery center. I've never had a job interview before I am wondering,...

For those of you who are going to be New Grads in the NICU, did you have any tech experience in the NICU or else where? And were any NICU specific interview questions asked? Just Curious how you got the job, as I have an interview for a GN position i...

would be very interested to here any replies :)

first of all, people are sick and weird. Second of all I think I am more prepared to be a nurse after reading this entire thread. Way more fun and educational than boring old text books lol jk

sounds interesting. do they give an employee discount. ;P I don't know if I could sell plastic surgery either, perhaps reconstructive surgery, but I couldn't be like 'hey, your nose doesn't quite fit your face, its too big. I think we can fix it if y...

I worked as a tech at a SDS over the summer, and The Pre-op nurses start IVs and maintain airways if needed, and monitor sedated pts was their main duty, of which I could do as a student (except start IVs and give the medication) OR there was one scr...

Yes the pre-reqs still must be completed, though you probably already have some of them like algebra and english. Talking with a counselor will help you find out which classes you might still need. Once you have all the pre-reqs you begin in the summ...

I cant speak for the LPN program, but any oral presentations we do in the RN program are just informal (so far as of nursing 3), and to the class. One assignment we did in our PEDs rotation we had to to a presentation to the kids on a safety topic. b...

A nurse that works on med-surg where we are doing clinicals is called by a nick name on her badge and when she signs, but it is not her legal first name, it is actually her maiden last name. I do not know what her license says. I always thought it wa...

Thank you! Can you give me some details, pros and cons about Spring Hill regional, from which I also heard good things from. What floor do you work on? thank you

Hi, I am going to graduate in May, and live in this area and have heard good things about Oak Hill, can anyone expand on some information on this hospital, such as wages for new grads, great departments to work on, and any nurse pt ratios, thank you!
