Hello traveling world!!! I am researching travel nursing to being in the fall or early winter. Are there many of you that are able to find good pedi assignments? If so where, and with what agencies are you going through? Thanks in advance!

I think you have made a wonderful choice!!!! I work pediatrics and am super happy I didn't venture off to med/surg first. Most importantly your hospital should offer some time of orientation/preceptorship that will help guide you in developing your s...

well friend, to answer the last questions first...nursing is not something that is easy or fast. there are no shortcuts, and there is no sparknotes to complete the degree program whether lpn or rn. the profession definitely requires that you have a d...

Definitely WONGS Nursing Care of Infants and Children

Hello there! I used Hylenex for the first time(second person on our unit) about 2 months ago. Our peds ppl decided that it would be a great thing to use...Our staff however, including myself, were skeptical...it is like infiltrating a KID!...lol...a ...

I am a peds nurse as well, and I must say I :redbeathe the transilluminator also. I have to say I am pretty good at starting IVs without it, however, when you have kids who are really dehydrated or dark skinned finding a vein is not always easy. When...

This posting regardless of the fact that you are a male is SO dead on! While I was reading I thought of all the times I had to explain myself out of the 'you will get a job in no time' or 'there is a nursing shortage' conversations...I wish I had thi...

Congrats! Did you start in the June program?? I will be in the Sept one, so I am sure we will meet some time next month!!! Have you looked at georgetown at all? I love round rock personally, however, will be saving money by staying with my mom in Tay...

this thread is hilarious...im a language person as well and cringe when i hear some of the things that come out of people's mouths as well as read the 'typos' in spelling! Ugh:D...lol...sometimes you can't help but laugh.

As a recent new grad and soon to be preceptee I understand both sides. I believe that preceptors should understand that its a challenge to teach just as it is to learn under such conditions. Patients lives are at both of our hands and everyone wants ...

I will be starting at the Children's Hospital at S&W. I know that it's a great facility, however, is there any insight into working there as a new grad??? Thanks

I think I am going to stick with general peds for now. Although I think PICU is where I belong, a good sound foundation wouldnt hurt. I can always move later!!!

Well...be careful what you wish for...it is definitely WARM here...more like HOT!() I was born and raised in a small town outside of Austin, however, I did spend the last 6 years in DFW(dallas/ft worth). The slogan that Austin has developed is 'Keep ...

Im sure I will be posting how my days are going once i do start so look out for that! Thanks and Good luck to you as well:yeah:.

NY??? What brings you to TX, and temple, tx at that??? I will be starting the Peds Internship in Sept. Have you been accepted into a specific internship in June/Sept/Jan??? We should definitely keep in touch and share notes!

Ok...lol...so Peds is what I want to do with my life(I do NOT like adults) so yes it was my first choice. I would have chosen PICU, but I am happy with general peds for the duration of the internship. It will be a good foundation I think. I applied ...

If you guys have any questions post them and I will try to help you out!!! I was in your position before and wish I had someone to talk to about different things before getting in and after. You can PM as well!

Hi IceStar817 and Ayiesha I was scrolling through and I saw your post. Its fun to see UTA represented on AllNurses!!! I am a Spring 09 grad(YAY!) and would like to tell you both Congrats(Icestar) and good luck(ayiesha). UTA's program is really a goo...

I applied a while back as well and have been in slight conversation with the GN Nurse Recruiter. She informed me that they have been/are still waiting on the managers to decided if they want/need GNs. My last correspondence was approximately 2 weeks...

Hello All...I just graduated last week! YAY me...and I took the Jursiprudence Exam like 3 weeks ago. VERY EASY. If you paid an ounce of attention during your Nursing Trends course...or whatever it's called at your school, you should do fine. It is op...

Star 33...CONGRATS!!! You shouldn't have to shout it to everyone that your pregnant...its your business, but like some of the other have suggested you may want to let your clinical instructors know. One of my classmates during our first semester of n...
