1:1 vent??? I need to work there. Its not atypical for me to get 2 vented patients,... but sometimes with the right sedation their easier anyway . As for cvvhd,.. my unit tries to keep it 1:1 but that is not guaranteed. I don't believe they triple...

the same thing happened at my hospital last week. the man was on the floor for over a week like that till he finally bottomed out and ended up in my unit, the ICU. 2-3 L came out in minutes .

I'm a little confused. I know that this behavior is annoying, but what is wrong with wanting a full time position which equals better job security, better benefits, and better pay? If u were taking home a part-time check I'm sure you'd be trying to...

I think if he just left you hanging without explaining himself or better explaining the topic you were talking about then that is kind of rude and pointless. If he elaborated a little bit,.. or a lot a bit then I would view it as peer teaching.

My advice is just to relax and breathe.... almost all of your skills will come in due time. And once you learn a textbook way to do a skill or view a case you'll end up in a scenario where the textbook won't work and you'll be getting a lot of your ...

Like the others have mentioned she did seem adequately replaced. However I wouldn't go with levo as my first choice when the elderly patient is already tachy,... if they were younger than go ahead. Depending on how hypotensive this patient was mayb...

In my opinion no one is working for free in the hospital, there are no volunteer doctors so if there is a significant change in a patient or you are handed a patient with vitals that don't support life then that doctor will be called whether it be on...

Hey guyz. I already have a full time RN job but I am looking to pick up some extra work on some of my days off. I am interested in doing private work (one:one) patient care in the hospital or in the home. However every time I look up nursing agenc...

I don't think that poster was trying to be rude to you. She was giving you the honest truth. In fact I think you're the one who came off type snobby. Instead of purchasing a condo in the city you would of been much better off purchasing a 4 yr educ...

Hi everyone. I'm a new grad and just got hired to a SICU floor where I'll be starting a critical care nurse fellowship. I did my last clinical rotations in a cardiac ICU and Medical ICU where I was an actively participating student.. not just watch...

It IS a little more,.. and that is why they COULD be trained a LITTLE more. Its not rocket science and you don't need a degree to learn how to do it. Just like PCA's can be excellently trained to do phlebotomy (Some PCA's I know of can get peripher...

Hi everyone. For those of you that applied to New York Presbyterian as a graduate nurse,.. did you just ignore the (at least one year acute care experience) clause on the job description. Because I am trying to apply there and even their staff nurs...

Well I know that the NYU hospital OR is always hiring (or at least last summer there seemed to be a good in and out of nurses). I interned there so I don't have the exact low down of the environment because of course everyone was nice to me :)... bu...

Shortage in NY? i would say no. There are some underserved communities who have a shortage but no money to actually hire new nurses (experienced or not) so therefore the term "shortage" still has no correlation with "job availability". But don't l...

Take AP Physics and try to get a 4 or above on it so that you can either test out on it when you get to college or if you have to take it again either because your uni doesn't accept AP credit, or your Master's school want's you to actually take the ...

really?? b/c i met a lot of idiots there,.. lol. just joking... I think Don't sell yourself short. As long as you have the baseline grades I feel like its all about presentation. Highlight all of your accomplishments and make them sound really r...

I really agree with Ronin. If you can't get into a fellowship or residency that is tailored towards hiring new grads then I wouldn't bother coming unless you were financially sound and able to withstand several months without working. From what I h...

it depends on where you want to work. If you are looking at LTC/nursing home then there are positions for LPNs, but if you are looking at hospital and clinic jobs then there are small pickings. All the hospitals around me don't really hire LPNs and...

SICU,.. :yeah:I could post that about a million times. But i haven't started yet so maybe i'll change my tune in like a month,.. but i doubt it :)

I think you need to be a little bit aggressive. Especially with this job market you could be out of work for months. If they did in fact state that if you were expunged they still wouldn't take you back,..that just sounds unfair. However I must say ...

Oh wow,.. I really think that your job acted inappropriately to fire you if you were not charged and convicted. I do think they had the right to suspend you with or without total/partial pay until they could get everything figured out since it is a ...

thank you so much:D I'm nervous, but excited. I'm just gonna have to work hard and take all the advice from the nurses on here to get through :)

Hi there. My mother has worked at WUH for just about 15yrs now and when I applied to the hospital she definitely gave me the heads up about some of those floors that she listed. I wouldn't have said "Do not work there", but I also don't believe tha...

Hi DaniealaRn,.. I guess we'll be neighbors because I'll be in the SICU. CONGRATULATIONS. I know this thing is gonna be so tough but I think it'll be worth it. See you soon :)

Oh wow,.. I thought this post was dead, lol. But I GOT IN!! :yeah:I'll be in the Surgical ICU at North Shore-Manhasset and I of course start on Monday. Can't wait to start this..see you all soon!
