  1. Use of central line/picc line for routine lab draws

    CharmedJ7 replied to Amanda Schmidt, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're going to find the answer to this depends on your particular floor, institution, etc policy. Sometimes physicians/nurses are very against the use of blood draws from PICCS b/c it does...

  2. Told a doctor about how I thought he felt I had no common sense

    CharmedJ7 replied to ratherbe's topic in General Nursing

    "So I knew the 81% might just be are pulse ox reading incorrectly because of his afib" Why does afib throw off pulse ox? I understand the basic patho of Afib (ie, atria "quivering" instead of a...

  3. Told a doctor about how I thought he felt I had no common sense

    CharmedJ7 replied to ratherbe's topic in General Nursing

    Quick question, can someone explain this? We don't get much cardiac stuff on my floor but I'm curious: "So I knew the 81% might just be are pulse ox reading incorrectly because of his afib" Why does...

  4. Housing near hospitals

    CharmedJ7 replied to fpolo's topic in General Nursing

    I totally disagree about the advise to stay away from Craigslist - Craigslist is pretty much the only place you have any chance of finding something affordable (excepting possibly the offcampus...

  5. July Washington Hospital Center RN Residency

    CharmedJ7 replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Utlities? I don't really know how much they cost, they're included in my rent. As far as commute, I actually ride my bike since I live 2 miles away from the hospital - in my opinion, that is by far...

  6. July Washington Hospital Center RN Residency

    CharmedJ7 replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in General Nursing

    2 years? Are you coming in on some sort of contract? We didn't have any contract... Anyhow, I can offer some opinions. Overall I'm pretty happy here. I relocated from Manhattan for this job, and I...

  7. Evidence Base Practice: Diabetes + RN Education efforts

    CharmedJ7 replied to SENSUALBLISSINFL's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is not really the right thread for this post, but I'll give you a quick reply anyhow. The first thing I'd tell you is that you need to go to a resource database like pubmed, medline, etc. Your...

  8. New Graduate Nurse in Canada

    CharmedJ7 replied to skwi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi, I don't know how much help I can be because I really think the protocol and strategies differ a bit everywhere you go. Where in Canada are you located? You might have better luck posting this in...

  9. Housing near hospitals

    CharmedJ7 replied to fpolo's topic in General Nursing

    Is anyone still looking for a place and/or roommate? I'm not having tons of luck on craigslist looking solo, but there seems to be a lot of reasonable stuff, especially in silver spring, for 2+...

  10. New grads starting at Washington Hospital Center

    CharmedJ7 replied to Hisown's topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I'm also going to be starting at WHC, and I'm wondering if anyone else is relocating for this job? Or, if not, could anyone give some advice about finding an apartment? How much do you think...

  12. New grads starting at Washington Hospital Center

    CharmedJ7 replied to Hisown's topic in General Nursing

    oh also, GPA stands for grade point average, so it's all your letter grades translated to a number between 1-4 then averaged out. There are companies and that which can 'translate' foreign...

  13. New grads starting at Washington Hospital Center

    CharmedJ7 replied to Hisown's topic in General Nursing

    GPA is how American and some Canadian schools do their marks, it's on a 4.0 scale with an A being a 4, an A- a 3.7, etc. It's sort of a strange system because different schools decide differently...

  14. New grads starting at Washington Hospital Center

    CharmedJ7 replied to Hisown's topic in General Nursing

    stef22 - I applied on friday (11) and received an interview via email today, so I think the turn around is pretty fast, and I also don't particularly think you are too late, although the latest...

  15. Mount Sinai, New Grads

    CharmedJ7 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I have a question for any new grads applying for Mount Sinai. What are you supposed to put in the employment history section? I've been told to essentially just put my resume into the profile (ie,...

  16. Mount Sinai, New Grads

    CharmedJ7 replied to CharmedJ7's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks for replying. It's frustrating that only paid things count since I've done valuable unpaid internships and volunteer experiences and it seems dumb to be unable to mention those. Do you just...

  17. NYP waiting list

    CharmedJ7 replied to laynaER's topic in New York Nursing

    Has anyone applied to NYP in the past week or so? In May the new grad application said May grads should apply in June but now I can't find the graduate nurse application. Does anyone know what the...

  18. Mount Sinai application

    CharmedJ7 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Has any one (particularly new grads) applied to Mount Sinai? I find their online application really confusing, specifically: 1) The profile thing has a section for employment history and lapses in...

  19. NYP waiting list

    CharmedJ7 replied to laynaER's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey I second the question about MSK. Their website has next to no jobs up, are they hiring? I talked to a nurse from there who said they liked new grads, but I can't find any information. I talked...

  20. NYC new grad - When to apply?

    CharmedJ7 posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi guys, I'm sure this may have been asked before but I can't find a thread with it so I hope some people have a bit of insight on this that they're willing to share. When should a new grad send out...

  21. Med school after nursing?

    CharmedJ7 replied to amarah2391's topic in Nursing Career

    If you're in high school and have not yet gotten a bachelors degree, I think nursing is a reasonable to good choice for an undergraduate degree. I had a friend who did this and found it extremely...

  22. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    CharmedJ7 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think you have to realize that when you type things they are open to be construed in several ways, so I do apologize if I misread your intention, but please be aware that saying what you said could...

  23. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    CharmedJ7 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's unfair and overly harsh, saying so seems to characterize all who presently do not have insurance through their jobs as lazy social parasites leeching off the system. It completely ignores the...

  24. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    CharmedJ7 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In reality I'm mostly looking to follow this thread, but I'll put in a bit of my own two cents worth at the same time 1) First off, this link provides a decent run-down of the Singapore system for...

  25. Nurse Practitioner in Sports Medicine?

    CharmedJ7 replied to jensfbay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry, I really don't know anything beyond that and I just found that randomly on a google search months ago. For any specifics into this program I would recommend contacting them directly. I wish I...
