I think that I am confused, but if you did not want the job--Why did you take the job? Sadly, you have wasted the hospital's time with the orientation ( I know that it was only for 1 day but it is the principle) Doing this will make you look bad to that hospital. Although nursing jobs are in demand so I am sure you have another job lined up. :trout:

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice. I have an interview on Friday for a Pediatric Home Health Care agency. I am wanting to know what to expect in the Pediatric Home Health setting. Also, what is the pay like for home health care. I am currently a PICU nurse. I also train families how to take care of vent-dependent, trached, and GT children at home. All of my experience is in the hospital setting. Thanks.:thankya:

That is harsh. Just because she is obese now does not mean that she will gain more. In fact, she could lose the weight.

GO COLTS!!!! Boo "Da Bears". Hope Bad Rex comes to play:lol2:

It sounds to me like you passed your boards. When I took my boards, I also had 75 questions. I had a lot of priority questions, charge nurse questions, and a few weird questions involving traction! I really thought that I failed but I found out two days later that I was a RN. I hope that you find out soon--it will be a good Christmas present!

I am very happy that you have an interview. Doing resource team would be good to see which areas that you like/don't like. Since you will be an internal employee, it might be easier to get a job down the road in an area that you might like. Clarian is a really good network, I think that you will like it.

Glad I could help! Let me know any updates.

Have you contacted Clarian Nurse recruitment? The number is 317-278-7565. If there are a lot of applications, it may take awhile for the Nurse Recruiter to call you. There is no harm in calling them. When I applied for my inital job at Methodist, I called the Nurse recruiter to check my status. I had a phone call on the same day asking if I could interview. Keep trying and don't give up! Clarian is a good network to work for.:nuke:

I was in Nursing clinicals several years back and I was observing in the NICU. The nurse had a pt with an artline who did not have the alarm set on the artline. I was looking at the patient and I noticed that the stopcock on the artline was opened and a large amount of blood was leaking out of the patient. I yelled for the nurse (since I could not touch the patient). Thankfully, the nurse corrected the situation. She told me that I saved the kid's life since I told her that the artline was leaking. If I did not notice that artline being disconnected and the alarm was not set--what would have happened? Scary!

When i am dealing with art lines in the PICU, the alarms are always kept on. If the wave form is dampened- then I try multiple measures to correct the problem (reposition, retape, ect.) If I am unable to correct the dampened wave, I call the MD. If the line is kept in- I adjust my alarm paramaters to compensate for the damp wave. I almost always try to keep the artline in, it is less painful to the patient than frequent labs and abgs.

At Indiana University Hospital--in downtown indy, I believe the OB ICU would be high risk maternity. I have my interview on Friday so I can fill you all in after that. Very interesting that no one knows about the OB ICU. My last job did not have high risk maternity, so this would be interesting. University Hospital is next to Riley, so it would make sense to have High Risk maternity next to large children's hospital. Thanks for all of the replies. Michelle

Hello, I am interested in working in Labor and Delivery. At my hospital, I currently an interview with the Special Care Nursery and with the OBICU unit. I am currently a Peds ICU nurse. But I worked in L&D as a student nurse for 1 year. What are some opinions on where I should go? Also, some insight into what Special Care Nursery is and what the OBICU is. Thanks, Michelle :)
