I wish I would have had that problem when I was in school. Except very rarely, we had to go the day before to choose our patients. Then there was a mountain of paperwork to complete before morning, which meant I always arrived at clinical after ver...

no worries....you did not offend me at all. i only wish i had gone to nursing school before i had so many responsibilities. i envy your situation really. in my situation, it was all i could do to keep up with the assignments and things that absol...

i don't know exactly what advice to offer. he is only 15 after all. if he thinks he may want to be a nurse, however, starting as a cna would give him an opportunity to see what nurses do. rn's are ultimately responsible for everything a cna does i...

i have already graduated and i thought the first semester was ok but it only got harder from there. most of the difficulty i had was just that it was so extremely time consuming. i spent many nights before a clinical day getting anywhere from a few...

i do that to my husband to.....i can't tell if he thinks it's funny or just tolerates me doing it.

i also applyed for the nicu at woman's and would be more than happy to be your classmate:d. i have tried calling but always get voice mail. hermann is my first choice but i would be more than happy to work at woman's. i just want to be in nicu.

congratulations on your new job!! i guess now instead of worrying about whether my packet was received, i can start worrying about the fact that they haven't called me yet.:chuckle is your new job at woman's in the nicu? i think i remember seeing ...

after the application deadline passed, they later opened it again until sept 25. i am assuming they did not have enough applicants or at least not enough of the kind of applicants they were looking for. the number accepted will vary according to th...

i have called a few times in the last couple of weeks but always have to leave a message. i then called human resources and was told that if i leave a message that they should return my call within the week. it's just frustrating. i want to work a...

Congratulations to you!!!! Now that it's over, don't you feel like you have NO idea how you ever made it through?

We practiced on mannequins. I guess it was not good to not go out and torture real people until we had some clue what we were doing but the mannequins are way different than the real thing.

Embarrassing maybe but she has probably repeated that story and gotten many laughs..:chuckle

I am a firm believer that you can see someone who has passed on. When I was a teenager I saw my great grandmother who had been dead for several years. It scared me to death but I know what I saw.

I hate the sound of suctioning but I can do it. But I know I could never work with an eye surgeon who does surgeries while the patient is awake....gives me chills just thinking about it.

Congrats on passing!!!! I took the Kaplan course and am using the Kaplan book to study. I take my test in 3 weeks. Good luck with your studying and your NCLEX.

we had the choice of either taking the flu shot (and the h1n1 when it is available) or wearing a surgical mask during our entire shift until flu season is over. anyone coming into er with flulike symptoms is placed in a mask at triage until flu test...

i have had the misfortune of working with someone just like this, except she had already passed nclex and so was working under her own license. she was an er nurse and i came into contact with her as i would come to the er to pick up my ct patients....

did you graduate in may then? have you worked anywhere as a nurse since then? i ask because i have already graduated as well and am still working at the job i have had for years (not a nurse tech or lvn though).

:hpygrp: omg....that was too funny. at least he had a good sense of humor. and i was picturing you half sliding through the door (i'm a huge seinfeld fan!!)

so would i. it's very frustrating. when they extended the application period, i wondered if it was because they received too few applications. maybe they now have so many it is taking a while to sort through them. really though, i guess we can on...

just wondering if anyone who applied for the january internships had heard anything yet. or even gotten confirmation that their application was received. i thought i was a patient person but this is testing me. it would just ease my mind just know...

i have no idea why but the time on my post is 5 hours ahead of the real time. my email is doing the same thing. i'll have to check that out.

i have the same problem. it's good to hear i am not the only one. i desperately want this internship. i hope we will hear something soon. they could save themselves some of the phone calls if they would just confirm receipt of the applications. i won...
