Hey folks, I just passed my NCLEX and have a job lined up for February. I'll be working on surgical and orthopedic units at a nearby teaching hospital. Besides a stethoscope, scissors, tape, and pen, what gear should a med-surg nurse have available? ...

What's a high end pulse ox?

Thanks everybody! For sure I'll see what the other nurses on my unit use. All your input is greatly appreciated!

Thank you! It feels pretty great!

I know I don't have to bring my own. Just wanted an idea of what other nurses carry around. Thanks tho!

Do it! I'm a dude. I didn't think about OB before nursing school but had such a good experience in my OB rotation that I've considered it. The women I helped in L&D didn't mind me there and since I was useful and knew what I was doing they were g...

just replied to your pm!

SHU's ABSN is going well. No regrets. Looking forward to wrapping this up in October!

I took regular ethics and macroeconomics. Ethics at Middlesex Community College and Macroeconomics and Nutrition I took online at Thomas Edison State College.

Dear Cayenne06 and Dinah77, I too am an acupuncturist about to become a nurse. While practicing acupuncture simultaneously as a nurse or nurse practitioner will not be practical in most settings, the science / evidence based approach of nursing shoul...

I'm pretty sure there is no vaccine for Hep C and I don't recall seeing that on certified profile. Are you sure it asked for that?

Both. I knew I'd have to retake it because I wasn't yet immune (before the Hep B vaccine). When I retook the test I asked for the lab results to be printed with reference ranges and they were able to provide them.

I'm not sure. Even though my background check is done it says overdue because a school administrator is supposed to enter the date completed. I emailed the clinical clearance contact person at SHU about it yesterday but haven't heard anything back ye...

Mo - just call the assistant director tomorrow as she should be back. The emails I was referring to and I think KSH was too were the SHU address emails via pirate net. You didn't miss anything important. Most everything I've gotten on my SHU email is...

The whole thing was a bit confusing with the 8/8 and 7/1 deadline. If you're not done with everything, I wouldn't worry because the deadline on the SHU packet says 8/8. I think Certified Profile (who administers the clearance) likely automatically ge...

The name of the group is: Seton Hall University ABSN 2015-2016

To those of you that haven't set up your SHU email, I set up a Facebook Group for our class.

Congratulations! That looks like a great program. It will be nice to get your MSN in five semesters! I wish you the best! I was looking forward to meeting you but that will have to wait As long as the Facebook Page only has a few likes, I'd like to ...

Might be good to call. Since you just recently paid your deposit, it might take a little while for the clinical paperwork to arrive. It took 2-3 weeks from when my deposit was paid.

Clinical clearance documents came on 5/26. Did you pay your deposit?

Authorities probe Lakewood shooting at High Point For those of you looking for housing, might be good to avoid theses apartments.

So much info on PirateNet. It looks like we'll be able to create a group for our class on there. That may allow more privacy than FB for discussing school issues and communicating. I'm hoping we'll learn more about the possibilities for group interac...

Nice! Did you create that? I was thinking something like that would be ideal. Liked & following!

Looking forward to the mail today!
