News Item Reader JNC 8 will be on the AANP exams this year

Our floats are always RNs (we don't staff medics). It depends on how busy we are as to how many floats we get - but not in a good way, if we are busier we need more nurses to take an assignment and if we are slower we don't have patient's for every b...

We don't have demerol in my ER...I graduated a little over a year ago and if I remember correctly I thought no one uses Demerol anymore...don't know why though..

We usually give Zofran for nausea. Every once in a while we give Compazine or Reglan and I cringe when I see these orders. I've had many patient's have reactions to compazine and maybe 1 or 2 to Reglan. We don't have 50 mL handy to use - we have to g...

there is a hospital near where I work that uses ECU - emergency care unit

We must have started at the same time as new grads in the ER and I feel the same. I'm 3 months off a 4 month orientation and I just had a review/eval with the director and she is very impressed with where I'm at as a new grad. I didn't think I would ...

I don't work at Hoag sorry but I do work at Fountain Valley Regional which is a few miles north of Hoag. At FV new grads with a BSN start at 27.95. I think ADNs earn 5% less. There is a $4 shift differential.

I graduated in December 2008 and began working in February. I only was able to get 1 interview and it was at my #7 hospital that I really didn't want to work for. All the other hospitals I was interested in kept telling me to check online for opening...

Interesting...it looks like you're right. CSUF now has an entry level BSN program. It must be new. As far as what I did to get my BSN was I went to a community college (Saddleback) to take care of my prerequisites (Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, ...

i went through NSO during nursing school and now I'm working and haven't renewed it yet. i'm curious what other organizations offer malpractice insurance. i haven't heard of any others and most of the nurses i work with just use the one the hospital ...

I will be starting ECCO in a few weeks and I haven't really heard much about it from anyone I work with yet but what do you get when you finish it? Do you get some sort of certification as a critical care RN or is it a certificate of completion or is...

There is no wait list for CSULB...you have to apply every semester if you didn't get in the previous semester. they have an "alternate list" of maybe 20-30 and those people get to start the program if someone on the "accepted list" changes their mind...

I entered the CSULB Nursing Program Spring 2007 and just finished in December (trimester program) and we didn't have to do an interview. They told us because so many people applied it took forever to do interviews and when they asked why the applican...

As far as I know LBMMC has a hiring freeze right now. I just graduated from CSULB in December and more than half of my graduating class signed a contract with them, I did not. When I called to see about getting a job there they said they couldn't hir...

Does anyone have any experience working with this hospital. I know they are Tenet and I've heard good things and bad things about that and read plenty of posts about Tenet but what about this particular hospital?? Anyone work there or had friends tha...

I had talked with one particular nurse recruiter that said i should get my ACLS before I apply to her hospital just because it makes you look better than the next person. I kept putting off taking the class so I ended up just writing "ACLS in progre...

I'm also a new grad RN starting in the ED and I've been reading into and thinking about getting my CEN. Most of the threads on here don't make it sound like its that bad of an exam. I'm not saying its an easy exam but really how bad is it?? If you pu...

so you're saying if I just got my license and it says it expires 9/30/10, I shouldn't do CE's during this time that I have my license?? I will be able to renew it without CEs?? (I'm in CA by the way)

hey everyone! I'm a new graduate that is going to start in the ED next month and I am taking my ACLS in a week and a half and I'm wondering really how difficult is it? I know it requires a lot of thinking and knowledge and that you need to know your ...

I just found out I passed the nclex today and mine is similar... my issue date is 2/5/09 my expiration date is 9/30/2010 thats not 2 years! I'm not too worried about it but just to let you know you're not the only one that isn't licensed for 2 years ...

I didn't find it to be too difficult to get "hired." Pretty much everyone who filled out an application was told to come for an interview. They were group interviews with about 4 applicants and 2 interviewers. We each got 2 or 3 questions (I think) a...

The previous reply seems like an extreme case. I just graduated in December from CSULB and generally school took 3 of days. One of those days would be lecture on campus from 8 or 9 until 3 or 6 (depending on the semester) and the other two days were...

i dont know what kind of fabric stores are near you but they generally have tons of books that have pattern ideas and then you go find the pattern you want out of a big file cabinet-type thing. i live in southern california and we have a lot of joan...

I just got a job in Orange County (CA) and I'm going to be getting paid 27.95 with a $4 shift diff for nights in an ER. Since I have my BSN its 5% more than what an ADN would make at this hospital. If I go on and get my MSN or any crts like CEN or C...
