I got in the Masters Psych NP for spring 2012!!!

Just found out I got accepted for Spring 2012 Master Program for Psych NP!!! So excited!!! How is everyone's classes going?

I have a question for the people that have applied to USA MSN or DNP program, did you guys write a personal statement when you applied? Do you think it is beneficial to do so?

Any one applying to USA for spring 2012? I am!!!

My PRN job pays the same as a regular staff plus no shift differential

So how can I find out the terms and conditions of the contract if it is not listed in anything I signed? I have no doubt it will break all ties with the agency which I am ok with but its the hospital that I worry about. This will be the last contract I will ever do.

Ok so I got all the paper work I have signed regarding the contract I started and it doesn't mention any consequences if someone was to break the contract, BUT when I told the agency I wanted to resign from the assignment, they started threatening me saying I will break all ties with them and the Hospital!! Well how can that be if nothing like that is mentioned in the paperwork I signed?? Are they just bluffing?

Yes I think I signed a whole bunch of papers but I didn't get a copy of any of it, I guess it would be good idea to request for them. Thanks guys.

That's a good question, this was my first contract assignment so I did not really ask a lot of questions, or didn't know the right questions to ask at least. But shouldn't they have discussed it with me? would the terms and conditions have stated my future opportunities for the hospital NOT through the agency?

So I started a 7 week contract assignment through an Agency with a major local hospital in clinical informatics, no patient care, basically learning the computer system and then training the physicians on it. The agency had told me once I complete the assignment, I have the opportunity to go per diem with the Hospital, which is what I want!! It's a way to get my foot in the door. But one week into the assignment, I got offered a position that I wanted with potential to go full time with benefits which is what I need!! So even though I was only hired as part time, they gave me over time hrs my first week while I'm into my second week into the contract with the hospital. By the way, my second job knows that I am working a 7 week contract and said they were willing to work around their schedule, but I wasn't expecting this many hrs!!!!Well, I am just soooo exhausted, and thinking of just quiting my contract, My question is, if I do so, would it hurt my chances to get per diem jobs at the Hospital in the future? Would they know since it's through an agency and I'm technically not a Hospital employee? What should I do?

So I have an interview at a County Correctional Facility next week, but I currently have a sprained ankle, so my question is... would it be ok if I wore sneakers to the interview? I don't really have anthing else besides high heals, and they will def kill my ankle if I wore that nect week, any suggestions on the appropriate shoes I can wear?

Thanks for the response so far. I was explained that the clinic I will be working at is a general peds clinic that sees well child checkups as well as sick visits. They said that it is a clinic where the medical students and PA students go for their rotation along with certified physicians, so their used to a lot of teaching, which sounds like a good learning environment...i hope. Oh, and it is not a specialty clinic.

Hey there all! I just recently received a job offer at a Peds outpatient clinic affiliated with a major children's hospital I'm soooo excited and nervous!!! I am a relatively new nurse and have been doing case management for the past 6 months, so I havnt done any hands on nursing stuff for awhile! I wanted to know if anyone here has ever worked in a peds clinic? what is an RN's role at a peds clinic? what are some of the things I can better prepare myself for the position? Any tips on ivs and blood draws on children? Thanks for all your help!!

She is a type 2. So even if she has routine doses of 70/30 ordered for breakfast and dinner, if her blood sugar is too low prior to administration of insulin, then u would hold the dose and have her eat. Now do you just skip that routine dose all together for that meal and move on?
