On the day before your first night, do you try to take a nap? I have tried this, but can not fall asleep! This means I just stay awake for 24 hours, then come home and sleep during the day. Any tips or tricks? I would love to get a solid nap befo...

I too am interested in learning how to be healthy and work nights. I start nights in May.

The CCU in which I work as an extern has used it for around 6 months or so.

I am a lawyer in my third semester of nursing school. I have been working as a tech for almost a year, and will be an extern at the same hospital this summer. I love it, and can't wait to graduate so that I will have time to help people as a nurse in...

My thoughts exactly. That is crazy.

The OP is not saying she won't participate in the labor and delivery. She is simply saying she will not participate in the circumcision. Really not a big deal, and I know some L&D floors accomodate this routinely....

ALSO, it is a myth that a circumcised penis is 'easier to care fore.' Because the foreskin is fused to the head for the first several years of life - there is absolutely ZERO that needs to be done during the diaper years. You wash it like a finger. ...

Hmmm, I think the 80% of men around the world WITH their foreskin would beg to differ with you. The human foreskin serves many purposes, some of which include: 1. Protecting the penis and preserving it's intended soft, supple state. A whole penis (t...

I, too, am going into my OB/Peds rotation, and am also ethically opposed to forced circumcision. I will observe, but till not participate or help in any way with the procedure. This is the only legal procedure I would ever refuse to participate in, ...

As a lawyer who practices business law, including human resources and employment law - who is also a nursing student working in a hospital - I agree, completely! I have hired and fired many people, and never, once, did I ever discriminate against so...

When I was orienting as a tech, my preceptor told me to 'pass ice' to all the patients. So, I dutifully filled the ice bags with ice and gave the bags to the patients. A nurse saw me do this, and, laughing, said, "And, just what do you think the pati...

I am a laywer with three semesters left in my BSN program. I think having a JD-RN is an amazing combination. Good luck with your dream! Here, the LSAT is the test to take to determine whether you can get into law school. Each school has their own ...

I work as a tech in an intermediate care cardiac unit. The staffing is 1:2 or 1:3, NEVER more. We get the same patient's you describe. I can not imagine the nurses having to take care of 8 patients, they are always very focused and busy with those...

In my hospital, we are expected to gown/glove up if you step into the room - regardless of the reason. I comply.

Could it be a financial aid issue? I am not in CA, but am a 2nd degree BSN student in another state. I was trying to get my RN as opposed to a BSN, but the school would not provide financial aid b/c of my previous bachelor's degree. In my state, I am...

We have a doggy door, and I block off the carpeted area of the house. B/c my husband works 8 to 5, she is rarely alone for my whole shift, though.

I work days in a hospital. I work both in a step down unit, and float to an ICU. They are very different. The step down we get report, do vitals, ask the nurses which patients are showers and which are baths, plan those and give them, change linen...

I am a tech at a hospital, and our scrubs are provided for free. We get three pairs of scrubs, plus one pair on each anniversary. We take them home and wash them ourselves. Pretty sweet :)

OHH uses electronic. Mercy and ohh are affiliated.

Oklahoma Heart Hospital South is looking for RN's. It is a top notch facility! http://www.okheart.com/open-positions

I am working as a NA in a hospital. Working full time during the summer, will drop to part time (12 to 24 hrs/week) during the school year. I am not certified, but have completed my first semester of the nursing part of my BSN program.

I am a nursing student who is also working in a hospital as a nursing assistant. I am not certified, but I just finished my first semester of nursing school. I filled out apps in the four hospitals I would want to work at when I graduate. The only...

I am a lawyer (8 years) in nursing school. I love it! I also work at a hospital as a nursing assistant. I personally do not find the careers so opposite. I help people in one way as a lawyer, and help them in another as a student nurse/nursing a...

I know of several people who work during school. I start my job in June, and will continue working throughout the last two years of my program.

I will start at a hospital as a tech in two weeks. Most of the hospitals here ask for either certification, or that the applicant has finished their Fundamentals course with clinical. I am very grateful to have gotten this position, and I plan to c...
