You may have had errors in your resume, but I work daily with an electronic medical record program that has spelling and grammatical errors all over the place. It is so frustrating, not to mention unprofessional.

I got a card from my dad saying how proud he is of me. And I got put on call last night and wasn't called in...WooHoo! Went to the brunch at work this morning (was worse than your typical hotel breakfast), tomorrow they're offering Cinnabon (I'm not...

Our policy is to flush each lumen of a PICC line with 10cc normal saline followed by 200 units heparin every twelve hours. Normal saline is used for routine flushes before/after fluid/medicine administration.

Hi! My husband and I are planning to relocate to Las Cruces in the next six months and I was looking for some current information about nursing in the Las Cruces area. I am interested in NICU nursing or OB/Perinatal nursing. I know there are two m...

I just accepted an offer for a night shift position on a Med/Surg/Onco floor in Southern New Mexico. I was never a fan of med/surg during nursing school so I'm a little nervous/anxious. I know it will be a great experience where I can learn a lot abo...

My husband and I are moving to Las Cruces this spring and I am researching nursing positions. Since El Paso is not too far, I thought I would look there as well. My areas of interest are NICU and L&D/Ante-Postpartum. I don't know much about th...

I completed my CEUs here: http://ceuprofessoronline.com/courselist.php It involved reading several articles and taking quizzes. It was

(225 ILCS 65/60‑40) (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2018) Sec. 60‑40. Continuing education for RN licensees. The Department may adopt rules of continuing education for registered professional nurses licensed under this Act t...

I've been working on a high risk antepartum unit for the last six months. A majority of our patients are pre-eclamptic, pre-term labor, premature rupture of membranes (PROM), bleeding, hyperemesis, etc. On every antepartum patient we have to listen...

that's "short hand" for 2...some md's use that symbol on prescriptions

For 2 of my 4 semester is nursing school we did all electronic charting. It was great. At my current job we're about 50% with the rest to come here "shortly." I really liked the EMR because you can easily look at H&Ps, notes from doctor's off...

I just started on an antepartum/postpartum unit and have created my own sheet. Having just graduated last May, I was used to using my own sheet (and I'm a very organized person so I like everything to be in order). PM me your email address and I'll ...

It often depends on the hospitals. The smaller ones tend to cross train everyone for all areas: antepartum, L&D, postpartum, and nursery. I work at a large hospital (~10000 deliveries/year) and antepartum is separate from L&D is separate fr...

I recently got a job at Magee and need to get some white scrubs. Can anyone tell me where there are scrub stores in the area? I know of Scrub Shack at Pittsburgh Mills but that's it. Thanks!

I would definitely say that that experience is not the norm. Personally, I would not go back to that physician, nor recommend him to anyone I knew. You could probably file a complaint but I'm not sure how much good that would do. I attended the de...

These websites have pretty good diagrams: http://www.brooksidepress.org/Products/Military_OBGYN/Textbook/AbnormalLandD/fetal_position.htm http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://z.about.com/d/pregnancy/1/0/4/e/3/lopFotosearch_COG12046.jpg&i...

I found that I made more friends being in nursing school. Look to those in your classes; they know what you're going through and will be supportive. For the friends you currently have, make a date for an outing for the day after your next test to s...

healing hands, here's a great site for learning EKG strips: http://www.skillstat.com/sixSecond2.htm (open in IE, not firefox) i learned them last spring and we used a great book that had lots of practice sections: ECG Workout by Huff (http://search.b...

I graduated from Parkland in May 2008 (and yes, everyone I've talked to passed NCLEX on the first try). The program prepares some of the best nurses in the area. It has the reputation of being far superior to both Lakeland and U of I. They really ...

Night shifts usually get a night bonus and weekends usually get a weekend bonus. It may be like $0.50 or $1 or $2 dollars; it just depends. If they offer 8 hour shifts...they are usually 7a -3pm; 3pm- 11pm; 11pm - 7am. Twelve hour shifts tend to ...

1. How many questions did you take on NCLEX? somewhere between 110 and 120 2. What study materials did you use? Did you take a test review course? no review course...used saunders books and cds...lippincott cd and another one 3. Did your SON of...

good suggestions! anything that can take your mind off of it is worth it! i know people who planned a vacation afterwards to just get away.

i used both of the saunders books (the green one - just questions, and the blue one - topical review) and cds as well as the lippincott cd and another cd...the key is to just doing questions over and over again i don't know how many thousands of ques...

congrats!

Most of the job postings on UPMC post starting pays...for RNs in hospital setting its usually like $22/hour...office positions tend to be like $15/hr
