I am on Depo, and have not had any problems with it. Although, I take it for my PCOS and take it every month so my ovary is in hibernation b/c I get cysts on it. (I had my right one and fallopian...
I was (and still am) a very big Selena fan. I also agree that her parents and husband would have wanted everything possible done. Such a tragic end to a wonderful life. I truely believe she would...

This is very sad. I was (well not lucky to not have him in my life) but to grow up with a drug addict dad, so in high school I never wanted to do these things. I did go through a rebellious stage kind...
Good for her for finally standing up to her--it sounds like noone ever had and it probably shocked her! She should not have been allowed to work with an attitude like that anyway. Good
No, thats not true. I also got hired about a month ago with an ASN. You only need your bachelors as you change your title-they have 3 levels, and for the last level you need one; although I have...
With whatever shox you get just make sure the actual shock is the thick one. They have a casual shock that is thinner; and the thicker ones work better for people on their feet long hours-a shoe...
:yeah:I just wanted to say hello to all! I got hired on to work on a transplant ICU, but since it is not open yet I am training in the SICU. I just completed my first 3 12 hour shifts and it was...
I just started at University Hospital downtown and I LOVE it! I will be working on the transplant ICU when it opens; right now I am training in the SICU, and it has been great! I knew I wanted to...

I would say that it depends on where you are from. As a new grad in IN I just started out at 21.75; so I would say it is pretty good. Is there a night and weekend diff? We get 3.75 from 7p-11p and...
As long as they are accredited I would not worry about it. They probably include it in their classes, and just don't make it separate. As far as being hired in the ICU as a new grad, I think that...
Travel soon- I too just finished the Kaplan course. I didn't feel too great, especially after I did worse on the readiness test than on the diagnostic test. Took the Qtrainer 1, got in the 50's (I...
Your welcome, if you have any more questions you can pm me. I just started working there on the 27th and I like it so far. We have only been though orientation lol, but I think that Clarian is a...
I found a really great article that had some good interview questions in it, I think it came from nursinglink.com... I thought the questions were great at my two interviews I went on before I got my...

I am sorry this happened to you also. I am a new grad nurse and I just started my first job this past week. I was pleasently surprised to learn in our nurses orientation that we have a doctors...
As far as I have learned so far I do not think there is. I am pretty sure everyone starts out the same, and then like after three years you can move up your postition, or sooner if you have been a...
In my opinion you are better off not doing ATI. We had to do it in school and I HATED it! It was figured into our grade--and I NEVER did good on it. I would NEVER go by the predictor-- I got like...
Congratulations! I also just graduated earlier this month! Don't do like I did though, and somehow delete ALL your pictures from pinning and graduation from your digital camera!!! I came out with...

The reason they are not an accurate portrayal of real life is because it is a tv show--its not real. I love Grey's, ER, and House; but I don't watch them for their accurate portrayal of real life! I...

If I were you I would go to your regular doctor or a dentist and get it checked out by someone who knows you better and who could get to the bottom of the pain and the cause of it. Good

Sounds like you are going to make a great preceptor. I agree with the above posters. I am starting my first job next week as a new grad, and I hope I have a great preceptor like you all!! I would...
