  1. I am looking for ideas to improve our orientation program for new hires into the Emergency Department. So far, our staff has a two day corporate orientation, followed by a 3 day hospital-wide...
  2. Please share orientation ideas!

    Thank you, Lev I appreciate your feedback and
  3. Please share orientation ideas!

    I am looking for ideas to improve our orientation program for new hires into the Emergency Department. So far, our staff has a two day corporate orientation, followed by a 3 day hospital-wide clinical...
  4. Please share orientation ideas!

    Thank you for taking the time to outline these! I am very curious to know what your method of validation is for these areas. I'm also most curious to know what's included under "critical thinking."...
  5. CEN

    I did not purchase anything to study. My unit had a subscription to a testing bank through the ENA website and you can do the practice questions as many times as you want (with rationales). I liked...
  6. I have been working as a staff nurse for several years now in a busy urban Emergency Department and hold a nursing MS degree (a direct-entry CNL program). I have always been interested in...
  7. Certificate Program- worth it?

    Thanks, guys! The interview did go very well, but they chose to hire an experienced IP in the end. They sounded very torn about it, but with the department under-resourced, they really couldn't...
  8. Certificate Program- worth it?

    iprn and JordiesMomRN, I just wanted to thank you both again for your advice. Can I share an update? I followed your advice and chatted informally with a member of the IP staff after our last...
  9. Certificate Program- worth it?

    Thanks, iprn! Your post is so helpful! There is actually an opening in my facility, but requires 3-5 years of IP experience. Not sure how one gains this experience in the field! I am already our...
  10. I thought this would be a great place to move registration/orientation questions for newly admitted CNL students at University of Maryland. Did you all get the registration email
  11. Keep obsessively trying the PVT and getting the "results are on hold" pop-up. How long did you guys have to wait for the "good" pop-up? Some friends who took it this morning already have theirs and...
  12. I got the good pop up today!!! Woohoooooooooo! Thanks all for your calming and supportive
  13. I wish I had reached the person you did! My Pearson contact had no idea what to tell me. All he said was that if I don't have results available after 48 hours to call back. I can't believe you...
  14. Hey kate811, What time did you check the following day for the good pop-up? Trying to get an idea of what to expect.
  15. Congrats! I had a ton of SATA as well, but I kept telling myself that it was a good sign. Aren't SATA "harder" or "passing-level" questions? Every time I saw one pop up, I forced myself to remember...
  16. Congrats on getting the good pop-up! You passed!!! It is SO frustrating to not know for sure. All my other friends got the pop up right away, and their names were up on the BON website the next...
  17. Thanks! Do you know if people are randomly chosen for a review? I didn't do anything out of the ordinary- wasn't the first one done, didn't take any breaks, etc. I wonder if it's because I was...
  18. In the original post with PVT instructions it says it might mean they are conducting a review of my exam. Is there any truth to that?! Do I really need to wait another day (or more) when everyone...
  19. What do you hate seeing the MOST in the ER!?

    Vomit. Any kind. I know, it's ridiculous to be an ER nurse and hate vomit, but...I hate it even more than the mean drunks. The days I hear multiple patients retching from the nurses station are the...
  20. UMB FALL 2011

    Sure, Grey Lady! I heard the small class sizes allow the professors to really get to know all of the students. Plus, most impressively, I heard there is more of a "no nurse left behind" philosophy...
  21. UMB FALL 2011

    Haha! I have heard great things about the Shady Grove campus, and I'm sure you will love it. I don't find the city to be intimidating, but then again, I commute from the suburbs. :) If there are any...
  22. UMB FALL 2011

    Everyone on here is going to Shady Grove? Wow... Good
  23. UMB FALL 2011

    Where are all of the accepted students posting now? Let me know if I can answer any questions. Good luck to
  24. UMB FALL 2011

    Hang on everyone- I didn't find out in the first round of acceptances, either. As soon as I had given up all hope, and resorted to following Plan B, my status changed to "accepted." Hang in there;...
  25. Hyperventilating Trach Pt

    Right, of course. Thanks! Maybe she was responding positively to the improved lung expansion after CPT and
