I saw the thread about being an INFP and I just couldn't help but start this thread... I am an INFJ (less thatn 2% have this type) and I think INFJ's have the potential for making some of the best nurses. I was just curious to know how you see your p...

What are grand rounds? I was reading an on my hospital's website about grand rounds being held and that anyone was welcome. What are grandrounds? Thanks

You must take into account the cost of living in your area. If you live in a high-cost area aka Cali etc....your wages are going to be more.

Does anyone know the link for NCLEX results for MI? I have looked and looked and looked and cannot find them anywhere. Thanks

Thank you everyone! Now I want to attend.

That's what I thought it was...but I thought it was weird to advertize it all over the hospital and welcome all students and staff. Does that sound weird to you?

I was wondering where those of you who have malpractice insurance get it? It was highly suggested in nursing school to get it, but they never said anything more.

I thought of all those things too! That is so funny--great point! It is so true though how scared everyone is to talk about malpractice insurance. I asked my preceptor about it when I was a student and she got so defensive about it! First she to...

Hi,I was just wondering what it means to set your pump "with basal" on your PCA pump? On the machine I saw you could make it "with basal" or "without basal".Thanks so much for any info. :)

Thanks for replying and answering my question! I really appreciate it, that makes perfect sense!

When have you seen hypertonic solutions given? I think I've only given isotonic and hypotonic. Thanks

Thank you!:redbeathe

Thank you all for your thoughts. :) I am a new grad starting in NICU this month without background in this area. I am very serious person, love studying and totally inlove with the brain. Thanks Imgetting there for all of your thoughts; that reall...

I was just wondering if there is by any chance an amazing place to buy scrubs here in MI? I have been searching and I haven't been impressed with any place yet. :/ Thanks in advance

I do know Spectrum :) I would love to work on that side of the state, sadly all of my family lives on this side. :/

I am considering applying for an ICU position at St. Mary's. Have any of you or do any of you work at St. Mary's? What have you thought of the hospital? Thanks

Ok, thanks! I'll check it out. I'm going to Detroit tomorrow, so I'm going to check a few places out there too. Thanks again

It's in Saginaw. I actually didn't know there was another St. Mary's until last wk when my friend interviewed there. The one you're referring to is around Grand Rapids, right?

I live on the East side, but I would go to the west side for a really great scrub shop. :)

MichiganRN, are you still working with this agency? Either way, I would like to hear about your experience. Thanks

Have any of you taken the Hurst review and then taken the NCLEX? I've been through the class and loved it. I won't be taking my boards until Feb. through.

I graduate in Dec. and am required to become ACLS certified. I don't start orientation until Jan. I was wondering if there are websites you would suggest on prepping me for the ACLS. I would not be so concerned and just take the classes, but every...

Thanks Eric, I should have done that!

Peds and OB was my hardest semester. My suggestions: Pray to Jesus a lot! Get some smart nursing friends to study with. I am a loner when it comes to studying, but I was not making it in this class, so I got some ppl together and we studied togeth...

Just FYI (and you may know this) but the Hurst Book for sale is different than the one you get when you go to a live lecture. DRAMATICALLY different. The hurst book for sale is just a nice NCLEX study book, the book you get when you go to a lecture h...
