Does anyone have any info on UMMC's nursing residency, orientation, training, and hiring process (other than what is included on the website)? I would really appreciate the info. Thank you.

Dental surgery. I did a PEDS clinical rotation at a small hospital and 9 out of 10 of the PEDS OR/PACU cases were dental surgeries. I watched ONE child receive dental crowns & I'll NEVER do it again. I was soooo nauseous and I almost passed out. ...

For about 4 weeks...

For about 4 weeks....

:-D I'm a new grad and this of allllllll the posts on allnurses and from my colleagues, has helped me the most. I kinda got a slight chuckle from it lol. I have been feeling the same way as the OP since day 1 on the floor. Great preceptor & ever...

Definitely Medisave!! They ship super quickly, price was so much cheaper than other sites, and free engraving.

Sorry, but I agree with this poster...especially being that there's no guarantee after you "train" w/ them. I've never heard of any program like this but I guess it's different for every state. Have you tried applying for other jobs/hospitals? On the...

I think everyone says to (& this helped me) look at the SATA questions as true or false questions. When I studied for the PN, I used the Exam Cram book, PDA book, and I can't remember what else I used. I used Kaplan for the RN, the PDA book again...

When the time comes, apply for any and every unit/specialty that you may be interested in. I didn't apply for any specialties that I was not interested in because I knew when it came down to it, I'd end up hating it. For example, I don't know how to ...

No problem. I believe the position that I applied for said 'BSN preferred'. If that's the case & you think that you'll have a good chance of getting a call back (& you meet the requirements), why not apply? Good luck!

I was recently hired as an ADN but I'll be on a critical care floor in the STC, not the TRU. You might want to look at some of their job postings online but from my understanding you need experience in the ICU or ER for the TRU. Don't quote me on tha...

My orientation will be 10weeks on a trauma progressive care unit/intermediate care unit.

I agree with you. If you got the good pop-up, let that ease your anxiety until you get your license # on the BON website. Don't pay for the quick results. I was still nervous/anxious because my # wasn't posted yet and gave in and bought the quick res...

PVT is accurate. Took the test on 6/14 (Friday) and got the good pop up. 6/16 (Sunday) did the quick result. 6/17 (Monday) BON states that the results are pending. RN license # today 6/18 (Tuesday). Whoop!! Whoop!!! :-D

Congrats!!

I was a crammed in nursing school too. So I know how you feel. It just didn't feel right to not look over SOMETHING at the last minute lol. Honestly, I did like 10 QBank questions to get myself in the zone before I left the house. It didn't really he...

Yeah although I had 20-30 SATA, I was freakin out because of the overall # of questions I had. I didn't have 75, 100, and by the time it got to 150, I figured I would get the dreaded 265. I can't even tell you what # it shut off on but when it did, I...

Trick worked for me. Quick results say that I passed. Will check BON website til I see my official #

Good luck to you all!

I had the same just more questions. At lease 20-30 SATA and majority priority questions. Also, I guessed throughout the entire test...thinking to my self, "There's no way that you got that question right but ok" lol. I'm still getting the good pop u...

I know right lol?! I admit that I feel very relieved after seeing the good pop. Now, I can get back to leisure reading (non-nursing lol). I've made a list throughout nursing school of books that I'd like to read, after I was done. Good luck to every...

Thank you lol! I wanted to cry so bad after the test because I thought I failed it. I felt as if I didn't know any of the answers.
