Anyone have this job? What's a typical work day like for you? Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I have 9 years of ICU experience at a Major Level 1 Trauma Center in a different state. I have an ADN. I can't even get an interview!? What the heck is going on!? I've been applying for 3 months. I need suggestions. I live slightly east of Hartford.

Hello, I know this is an old post and thank you for everyone who replied. I have applied for multiple listings at multiple hospitals over the past year....to St. Francis, Hartford (as RN and as aide), Hartford's Windham, Manchester, UCONN, Middlesex ...

as inspired by another thread, here's a motivational question! i guess this is more of a question for those of us who haven't had a real career before nursing.... what will you do with your first "real" paycheck? i'm going straight to the salon. new ...

[MOUSE]hi all, wondering if there is anyone out there that has ever done the lvh grad nurse internships. what can i expect? my interview is next friday. thanks [/MOUSE]

Sorry if the title had some kind of shock value...but we're all professionals here... I'm trying to find some nurses' experiences with pumping at work. I work in an ICU and I work 12 hour shifts. How did you find time to pump? Were you successful or ...

Can anyone share their experience with the RN-->MSN program online? Is there a clinical aspect? Thanks a ton :)

Hi, I am a student and I am interested in aromatherapy and nursing. I am having a tough time finding articles or websites that describe what a nurse aromatherapist does or how to integrate aromatherapy in the nursing practice. any help would be great...

has anyone here accepted a job that wasn't their preference? i just interviewed for the job i REEEEEEALLY wanted this past week. i don't think the interview went well at all. now, i'm not really sure what to do with myself. there is no other position...

the interviewer only asked 3 questions... mostly about experience. since i am a new grad, i have no experience. the position is an internship, though, so i guess i was under the assumption that since it's a learning experience that experience wasn't ...

thanks for the reply, anise :) do you think that the same was true for the other internships? also, how many interviews are there? is it just the one and is it a long interview? are there other GN's that go through the internship with you? sorry for ...

my advice: 1. make like-minded friends who you can count on for support. 2. organization, you'll find your own system once you begin 3. take it one day at a time. don't freak out. we had people throughout school that threw fits all of the time and it...

We learn the patho associated with the disease processes.

anyone else uber anxious to be done? i feel like i'm not going to have enough energy to make it to graduation. then, i'm afraid of choosing the wrong job, not doing well on nclex, moving to a new place, getting out into the real world and attempti...

I keep telling myself that if i can make it through ____________ (example: today, clinical, this week, this exam), I will be fine. I am not a crafty person, but I am just heading over to the craft store to find something that will take my mind off of...

well, then, this round's on me! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

You have no idea how much i needed to read this post right now! i literally collapsed at clinical this past week and after almost every test known to man, the emergency docs and my pcp are puzzled as to what is wrong with me because i am still not "r...

Oh, that is so neat! Right now I am growing up some things from my nursing shoes on some agar for a research project. it's been growing for about 24 hours and....ick...probably one of the most disgusting things i've ever seen! most of it definitely r...

Med-Surg III. My brain hurts.

Are you sure you don't go to my school? LOL wow....if i had a nickel for every time this has happened, i would be able to quit school and live comfortably until retirement age! after 3 semesters, i am to the point i just want to start slapping people...

moving on from the last post.....and the many many comments about the last post.... Has anyone found their niche yet? I'm so anxious for next spring to see if i can hack being a baby nurse (who needs technical terms...it's the summer!). Also hope ...

I'm writing a paper about the issue in nursing of "too posh to wash". that is, nurses who think that basic care should be delegated to CNA's and other staff. I would just like to ask a couple of questions and you, in return, will have the pleasure of...

first off, good for you for looking out for your patient! 4 hours is way too long for anyone to go without being seen by any staff, period. another thing that is bothering me about your post is that YOU had to do the assessment. assessments should b...

well, no one really enjoys cleaning up poo or puke, but you gotta do what you gotta do. when you look at it as you helping someone that is too sick to do it themselves, it helps.

thanks talaxandra :) i did see the previous thread...that's how i originally thought to research this topic.
