I'm a floor nurse, no ED experience beyond floating a few shifts. I honestly don't think anything either party does will entirely "stop" it. Y'all think we get snarky, we think y'all get snarky...and both do. We all have rough, demanding jobs and wan...

You may find yourself surprised. Nursing is so varied that even similar units at different facilities can bring an entirely different experience. I went through school hating the areas of my clinicals. I wanted nothing to do with adults. Ever. I knew...

I'm in Peds and we don't have that policy. If it ain't broke...don't fix it! :) Rarely would it last that long anyway though for a lot of our kiddos.

One place I worked we did team A and B and we worked whatever holidays were for that team...next year it switched. We were typically able to swap around and even sometimes split the shift in half to make it work for whatever we had going on with our ...

I'm in the same boat, but as an RN. I graduated in May...I can pass my meds but woah they never had us do any of the million pages of paperwork and orders in school. I'm clueless.

I graduated in May and got an RN job at an LTACH where I had been working as an aide for just over a year. Thrilled about it, no, but it was the only offer I had and I knew the facility, patients and coworkers. It has always been explained to me as m...

I disagree with that a whole lot. I graduated Friday from BGSU and will be an RN after my boards...the UT/BGSU consortium is now graduating nurses three times a year, plus there is Lourdes, Owens, Mercy, Terra, Firelands, etc. all in the area. Our ar...

I am a nursing student doing my psych rotation. A partner and I have to lead a group session on an inpatient unit next week. We've been rotating through our clinical group and we are running out of ideas (I know, there are tons out there). Any sugges...

I was hired at a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital in June. I am in my last year of my BSN but this is my first aide job. It is basically an ICU...most on vents, many with tube feeds. It has been a great learning tool in that and just more patient and st...

Question about the melatonin. I will only be working overnight Fri & Sat nights...if I take the melatonin to help me sleep for those shifts, is my body still going to hate me the rest of the week when I try to have a normal life?

Ah thank you, I was wondering too. I will be starting a third-shift soon at a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital and my interviewer said that it is mostly like an ICU...lots of vents and such. Anyone with night experience - any tips for sleep schedules? ...

I don't know anything about working at Toledo Hospital because I'm still a student and don't intend on working in this area. As for looking where to live - like the other reply said, South Toledo is pretty good, East is bad. The area around the hospi...

I am a 3rd year nursing student (U of Toledo) and currently live in Maumee (ever need a sitter? lol). I just completed my women's health clinical at St Luke's and it is my favorite hospital I've been at for clinical so far (others are Toledo Children...

Hello! I am trying to find a job that won't totally stink as I know it'll be my last summer of "freedom" before I hit the real world. Has anyone found a camp in Ohio (or driveable from NW Ohio) that hires student nurses? I found one in Michigan that...

I just started my OB rotation. (LOVE it, BTW) We are to look up (purpose, route, dosage, etc...) the most commonly used meds on the floor and I was able to find most in the drug books I purchased for Pharm & Peds except things like Tucks, America...

I know I've seen topics about this a while ago, but nothing came up in the search. I'm in Peds this semester and for half the semester I am in a preschool classroom with typical and atypical developing kids. We are to do a little teaching project fo...

I'm a BG student in my third year of nursing so I am currently at the UT Health Science Campus, as the person above stated. I chose BG because it is smaller and slightly closer to my hometown. In the end, the real nursing classes are the same as UT ...

I also did not think that ink prints were accepted anymore and it really doesn't make sense why you would need both. I would keep trying to contact them...good luck!

My boyfriend's son may have chicken pox. I had it when I was little, but can I still carry it? I'm starting my Peds and OB rotations next week...

I've never had a morning/day clinical, but I have to agree with you on that. It was horrible switching nurses halfway through clinical and it always happened when we were at dinner so we'd just come back to it.

My local hospital just posted this job opening for a Med/Surg-Peds PCA. Dumb as it sounds, I don't know if I'm qualified or not, and I'd rather sound like an idiot to you than the employer. :) I'm a third year BSN student with my skills labs and med/...

I'm a junior nursing student and this is the hospital I have my heart set on for a variety of reasons. And at some point, I plan to work in pediatric oncology. I'm hoping some nurses that work there or know others that do will chime in. I saw the re...

I was taught the same by one of my clinical nurses. But she also added to cross the two fingers...suppose to hurt even less.

I'm a UT student and did clinicals at UTMC this semester...my last week was pretty high-stress for many as they were told of lay-offs. I also read of the president's bonus and felt that was a bit ridiculous considering the circumstances, but what do ...

See THIS is me. This post is old...please tell me its better now. lol I find myself almost rehearsing on my drive Okay, THIS is what you're going to do. And you're going to fake that you're confident about it. Kay? The first time we were told to do ...
