  3. Worn out with 2 jobs and school

    Aymese replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    Grrr...he/she is a BAD director. I think what the above poster said about submitting a formal resignation letter, also including your goals you are working towards (school) and the time commitment...

  4. Worn out with 2 jobs and school

    Aymese replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    What did they do or say to make you feel guilty about leaving when they know your circumstances? An employer that truly cares about you should say, "Well we will certainly miss you but understand you...

  5. Too many newbies?

    Aymese replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I think if your classmates have the ambition to work in critical care right out of school they will do just fine. They will learn early on to develop strong critical thinking skills, all the while...

  6. I NEED to KNOW! UAB online MSN applicant!!

    Aymese replied to Aymese's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sure, that sounds great! Our research is a combined "research and stats for adv. prac. nursing". Since I didn't really enjoy that class in undergrad, it makes me a little nervous too! I'm waiting to...

    Aymese replied to scrubing77's topic in General Nursing

    Oftentimes in the cath lab a patient will go in and out of arresting while we are fixing a lesion. When the patient has a rhythm, the vasopressors remain on to maintain the BP. When/if we resume CPR...

  9. Associates degree nurse salary vs. bachelor's ??

    Aymese replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to know why as well. This has not been the preference in any of the 2 hospitals I have worked in. An Associates degree nurse may be at an advantage for about 4-6 months when it comes to hands...

  10. PICCs

    Aymese replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    It's the same for IV tubing, but you should change the PICC line cap(s) everytime you aspirate blood from the line (at least that is our facility's policy). I love PICC lines

  11. Does internships count as work history??

    Aymese replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad, I listed my experience as "student nurse externship" specifically mentioning the various skills/tasks as being performed under the direct supervision of a RN. I think it's perfectly...

  12. How did you get your first nursing position

    Aymese replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    Throughout nursing school, I worked on summer breaks as a CNA on a med-surg floor. I definitely think that adds to your marketability as a new grad nurse. In the fall of 2005, during my senior year,...

  17. Should I even get my ADN?

    Aymese replied to PurpleLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Of course your past work experience will be beneficial to you! You should definitely go for your BSN. Eventually ADN programs will be phased out. Good

  18. Waiting to hear decision from USA Spring 2010

    Aymese replied to peaceful's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I want to pursue ACNP. I reread an email the school sent 2 months ago saying my app had been passed onto the School of Nursing for review in October. According to the email, they will begin sending...

  19. Waiting to hear decision from USA Spring 2010

    Aymese replied to peaceful's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've been searching all over this site this evening to see if anyone who's applied to UAB's MSN Spring 2010 program knows any updates or has heard their acceptance or rejection! I've been feeling so...

    Aymese replied to colagirl66's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    advice from a nursing professor that i found to be very helpful was to take as many practice questions as you can. any questions you miss (or got lucky on), make a notecard with the answer and...

  21. OMG, I have a preceptor from lazy hell!

    Aymese replied to motivated2nurse's topic in Emergency

    I'm sorry you're having such a bad experience as a new grad with your preceptor-it is very unfortunate. I feel very strongly that departments should have an organized preceptorship program and nurses...
