just a thought: clatsop county - jail nurse - clatsop county department of public health - astoria, or this position is a part time jail nurse, 22.5 hours per week. duties include a variety of professional nursing and routine medical services which ...

From the sounds of it, this would have essentially happened the same way on my unit. Lab does cancel ordered labs without informing the floor or the MD, most of the time because they were duplicate orders (ex: a CMP ordered after a BMP, so the BMP wo...

I am a charge nurse which on my floor means bedding patients and assisting in any way needed on the floor. We have unit clerks that enter orders for us and the RN assigned to that patient is responsible for signing them off. We also do 12 hour chart ...

I went through the same exact scenario except I trained to charge at 8 months on my post-surgical step-down telemetry unit. We have 25 patients, so we go up to 6 RN's and 2 CNA's on nights. I was given 3 days of orientation (which weren't the greates...

I am currently a Surgical Telemetry nurse at Salem Hospital, but have always wanted to get into public health. Marion County does not seem to have the greatest public health system, so I am looking for advice from others who may know of volunteer opp...

Did you look at Salem Hospital? I know they have several openings, including some in critical care. The even says "Open to new grads." It's probably worth a look.

Just looking for some feedback: I recently noticed a job posting in my area for a Lead RN position at an Urgent Care clinic run by one of the biggest clinics in my area. I've been working as a floor nurse for the last 14 months on a surgical telemetr...

Keep in mind also that I don't believe Walden is accredited. I could be wrong about that, but that's what I have heard. So you might want to check into that before starting something long term that would require your school to be accredited.

At my hospital, they currently have openings for an internship in the OR that I believe you have to only have one year of experience (or maybe even less). The internship is for 6 months and it's a combination of classroom and OR time. After the inter...

It has recently come to light how extensive cancer is in my family. My mother has 8 siblings, 5 sisters (all of whom have cancer) and 3 brothers (one died when he was 2). Here is a breakdown of the cancer: -2 of my mother's aunts- both died of breast...

That helps a lot, thanks! Basically they told us that my mom is the only one who should be tested for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and then if she is negative, then I would be too. But, she recommended me getting the other tests. Also, she recommended t...

I just passed my one year mark! Graduated with my BSN June 2008, passed the NCLEX and started my first job as an RN on a Surgical Telemetry floor (step-down unit) in July 08. The reason I am posting this is because though I was a good student and had...

Ask questions! I ask questions whenever I don't know something because how else are you going to learn it? It's better to ask when you have the change rather than wait for the time when you get into trouble to learn it. Also, if I hear someone is doi...

I experienced the same thing. Since we lived in a rural community (where our school was) and we only had 30 people in our class, a group of us spent almost every waking moment together. We did all our school stuff together and spent a lot of time out...

Thanks, the Reed website was exactly what I was looking for!

First off, Congratulations! I graduated from OHSU-La Grande in 2008 and though it was a great school, my advice would be to be ready to advocate solely for yourself. The instructors were great, but most also had other practices and I really had to wo...

Hi all, I am new to this forum, but have read most pages on this thread and it looks like a good one. I graduated with my BSN 1 year ago and have been working on a Surgical Telemetry floor (closest med/surg floor to critical care in my hospital) sinc...
