  3. Received an "F" for a "B"!

    CarVsTree replied to Anjann's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but that is nursing school... The math for dosage calculations is very simple math (elementary algebra). If you are having difficulty with the math, than you need to get a math tutor. I have...

  4. looking for feedback/advice on this idea

    CarVsTree replied to dutchgirl's topic in Orthopedic

    CarVsTree replied to JennyRN2B's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Call the HR department and find out. It definitely depends on where you are at. The hospital I work at started interviewing my class (12/05) in January. I applied and was accepted in the Critical...

  7. Is it a good idea, when interviewing...

    CarVsTree replied to JennyRN2B's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I just interviewed for and landed a GN position in the NICU so I thought I'd share some of the questions. The typical strength/weaknesses questions. I was also asked to name a time when I went above...

    CarVsTree replied to rosendalemj's topic in General Students

    I use Noodlebib located at http://www.noodletools.com I think it was around $7.00 for a subscription (been awhile since I paid though). I just plug in the info and it spits out the bib. It will...

  12. Scholarships for men interested in nursing?

    CarVsTree replied to Blackman's topic in Men in Nursing

    You might want to look into grants from hospitals. I have a grant. I applied through my local community college, but it is funded by Lehigh Valley Hospital & Health Network. I owe them a year...

  14. 3 Day Phlebotomy training course...can I get a job??

    CarVsTree replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more. There is a tech on my floor that just scares me. I swear she left her brain at the door during her phlebotomy training. Of course, what it really boils down to whether or not...

  15. 3 Day Phlebotomy training course...can I get a job??

    CarVsTree replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I also agree with the posters that suggested calling hospital HR departments. Many hospitals in my area no longer use phlebotimists. They just train their techs (like myself) in phlebotomy. I would...

  16. Thinking of relocating-Pocono Mt. area

    CarVsTree replied to EvinsAngel's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I don't know LPN salaries... All RN GN's start at Lehigh Valley Hospital at $20.50 with a $1 bump after you pass NCLEX. I think St Luke's Hospital is about the same. Both these health networks have...

  18. Injections- still pull back?

    CarVsTree replied to angelbyte's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student and according to my school it has NOT changed. What would the rationale be? I saw a horse seize and die once cause its owner gave an IM PCN injection (not the IV form, the white...

  19. What is "Sticky?"

    CarVsTree replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In the internet world it also refers to a popular or important post being put up as a "sticky" meaning it always remains at the top of that form. If you look at the top of most forums, you'll will...

  20. What to do about tech refusing to get VS?

    CarVsTree replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Bet you never started an IV. I am a tech and I would not expect the nurse to get the signs on a very sick patient while she also has another ER coming. It is the tech's primary responsibility to get...
