Thanks, yes. I am reviewing the PCCN and CMC study guides on AACN and that is helping. I got my CCRN 10 yrs ago but you know, it's all timing and appropriate application. Thank you for the hint on Prophecy. I will keep quizzing!

I hate moments like that. Make sure that you have a reference point of emotional support OUTSIDE of work. Especially since the workplace is so stressed, to be resilient you have to pay attention to the much bigger picture because the view in the workplace is very very narrow.

What kinds of drug reference apps (or any apps) have you found helpful for quick lookups at work. This would include information on dilution and rate of administration of IV push meds.

Why don't you try going into informatics or something that is more distant from the bedside like Case Mgt?

CCRN, or CEN and you can take the exams through the AACN.

I have worked at both also, but not at Mt View for a while. It is necessary to have both hospitals in this town because if there were only one, it would probably be slammed. Either one would be fine to work with, but I do agree about the too-frequent mgt changes at the View. Expect some of the same border issues that plague Texas. I think nurses at both places will be friendly to a newbie. You can probably get some good deals on housing. Good luck!!
