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 ...

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...

I realize that many people are getting tired about all of the talk about the nclex; however, i feel that if someone has a concern about the nclex or just wants to talk about the nclex--Then they should be able to do that. For many new grads includin...

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...

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 tw...

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. Clar...

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 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 ...

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. I...

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 h...

In the Riley PICU, We have handmade blankets that our "Cheer Guild" makes. The Cheer Guild also supplies toys, stuffed animals, and games for our patients and our patients' siblings.

Hi, I am a PICU nurse at Riley Hospital for Children. I would help you if you need it. Please respond back and I can give you my e-mail address. :)

Hello all, I am a new PICU who will be getting off orientation at the end of March (that is coming up soon!!) I just wanted some advice from experienced RN's. My unit has told me as a new nurse, I will recieve stable pt's (usually pairs) for about ...

Hey all, I am a new RN who is working in the PICU. I just wanted to vent about my experiences so far. Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed as a new nurse. There are times when I leave a half hour late due to all of my charting. I feel that I run a...

I just wanted to thank everyone for responding to my post.. :) It makes me feel good to know that other people are going through what I am going through. I wish that nursing school somehow prepared us for the real world--but honestly, I don't thi...

whinnymay, what kind of area do you work in? I am wondering if going to Peds ICU right off the bat is such a good idea.

In Indiana, I was able to view my lic # about 48 hours after I took the test. In fact, I knew that I passed because I saw my lic #. I recieved my RN license on Monday afternoon. I hope this helps!! Good luck as a RN. :)

Thank you to everyone that replied to my post, studying for Nclex can be such a stressful time. It was great to have a place to vent and to get advice for the Nclex. I really feel that the people on this board helped me pass the boards, and for tha...

That is so awesome!! :balloons: Isn't a great feeling to say that the Nclex is behind you. Now you can start working as a RN, good luck to you in the future. :)

:) The wait is finally over-- I passed!!! I looked at the Indiana State Board of Nursing and found out that I am the newest RN! It sounds so cool to say Michelle, R.N. I passed with 75 questions when I am so sure that I failed. I am so relieved...

Pcat, Yes I do have a job. :) I work at Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. My orientation is going very well, but it can be overwhelming at times. What about you, do you have a job yet?
