Hello All~ Just wondering if any of you work or have friends that may work at the University of Iowa. I am moving from north Iowa to the Cedar Rapids area and have high hopes of getting a job at the U of I. Just wondering how long it usually takes ...

Hello All~ I interviewed for a position several weeks ago. Last Monday I called to ask about the position again. The manager wasn't available so I just left a message. I have not heard anything as of a week later, but the position is still availab...

Alright, I need honest advice...don't worry you won't offend me. Here's my deal: Just moved to a new city, I've been a nurse a little over a year. I took this job thinking I would love it, but HATE it. I just don't like the patient population...it...

The jobs I have applied for are actually at another facility in town. I believe transfering at my current facility can happen after 120 days....thank you for that heads up though

Sorry I didn't see this sooner....as for your question though. I never worked at MGMC, but I did do a preceptorship there in ICCU. All in all it seemed to be a nice place to work they were friendly and welcomed me. I believe I enjoyed MGMC better ...

Mary Greeley in Ames uses electronic med administration. It was great.

Hey All! I recently graduated in Aug. from an ASN program, have taken NCLEX and passed, and have my license. I thought during my ASN program I would just do a RN-BSN type program which wouldn't take long as I was enrolled at the State university for...

I understand how you're feeling at the moment. I have been searching for jobs since BEFORE graduation...finally had 1 interview, have heard nothing and I have inquired what's going on several times. Now I have passed boards and I am still having pr...

well the dreaded test finally arrived. I slept HORRIBLY last night, but thankfully the test wasn't until 1515 this afternoon (2 hours drive). I got up at a reasonable time (0830) took my time getting ready and drove down and met a former co-worker ...

thanks all for your support and encouragement. You're all right, I did pass. Thanks Again!

When you first get to the startup part of the cd...you can choose either quiz (10 questions), Exam (maybe 100+ questions) or Study which will give you MANY questions. The more content areas you check on the study part will give you more questions. A...

ehh...I am using my Saunders CD's to review for NCLEX (Sept. 16) and I am consistently getting 70% no matter how many questions I do at a time...does this translate into anything...GAH!! I am frustrated! :uhoh21:

Ok heres the deal... I just graduated in Aug.& will take NCLEX 9/14/05. I have had AN interview (there are hardly ANY jobs available up here). The interview seemed to go good ( I was there for over 2 hours). I met staff on the unit, everything...

No I am going back and reviewing the rationals after each quiz. I don't do more than 100 questions a day (I don't have that much attention :) ) I would say that I am just tired and need to go to bed, but I don't believe that is the case as most of...

ehh...not sure exactly what kind of math is on the compass test (I didn't have to take one), however, I did find this site on a search that could prove helpful. While I was quickly looking over these the one about halfway down the page titled "Drug ...

The past hospital where I did my preceptorship, pharmacy was usually the one to bring it to the Drs attention. They had carbon copy physician order forms and these are what we sent to pharm. If there was a prohibited abbreviation it was circled in B...

Found a list on JCAHO's website. Should be the first link on the page. http://www.jcaho.org/accredited+organizations/patient+safety/dnu.htm

If I had to choose another career I would want to be a county/state Emergency Mgmt (Homeland Security) coordinator. Some may find it boring, but my dad has been a county coordinator since 1989 and I find it fascinating I've been to several of their ...

Seriously...I got my ATT this morning via e-mail and I have been sick to my stomach ever since...are you kidding me with this. Please tell me ya'll felt this way too?

ehh...I've been trying to do my Saunders CDs everyday. I've been doing the (is it the exam one) the one where you get thrown a whole bunch of random ones....I think that is probably the best one to "mimick" the NCLEX. You know...when I graduated (la...

I just got off the phone with a nurse recruiter (I grad. in Aug.) and she mentioned that I know what "vasoactive infusions" are....anybody want to help me out....I googled it, but didn't find anything that helped me out. Thanks in advance! :)

it will be for a cardiac step-down unit...will they still be using these? any more suggestions of what to look up or know would be great!

Well...I've finally hit my 5th and final semester, however we've never actually had to give report at the end of shift (weird I know). Anyway today I tried...it wasn't HORIBLE, but it sure wasn't good. Please help me...Tell me what YOU like to know ...

I work for a state training agency for firefighters...I don't think it affected me negatively, but yeah there were few things that I didn't know EXACTLY how to do when I got to the clinical floor. I love my job and wouldn't have wanted to work any wh...

Hi There! As a person who is blind in my right eye I have ABSOLUTELY no problem with anything work related. Depth perception is probably the biggest difficulty, but I just practice a few times if a skill is giving me problems and has helped me great...
