Animaniacs BSN, RN

Similar Situation. Left inpatient hospital as an RN and went to the county Jail. And I feel overwhelmed. the good thing about the hospital is that even once you’re off orientation, you are not alone, there’s people that can you ask question...

It can take anywhere from 2-3 months. I just got a job interview after I sent in my application 2 months ago for the prison. but I recently took a full time RN job at a local hospital, so I will need to cancel the interview. i don't want to burn bri...

I'm applying for a California department of corrections RN position. There's a lot of steps, and I'm hoping I don't miss any when I mail it in. 1)I did the online self assessment, and I passed. My list and rank was given, saying I could apply for vac...

Feeling down, I dont know how I did in the job interview for an RN position.. I had a job interview for Orthopedics department in a hospital, its a huge step up in pay and it's also in a big hospital. But I felt like I didn't do a great job with "tel...

I've been in med-surg and tele for more than 10 years as an RN. When people refer to floor nursing, do you guys also include ICU or any area/unit where the patient is admitted as inpatient? what about ER, can that be considered floor nursing, seems l...

Sounds like a good deal. I'd go for it. Change is always hard, but eventually you'll get used to your job and become comfortable. 30k more a year is a good incentive, sure you'd have to give up school vacation, but it's worth it.

I'm just curious. I'm reading different threads online, and I completely understand that the cost of hiring/training new nurses is expensive. So when managers hire new nurses, they are hoping the nurse will stick it out and work for the hospital for ...

I'm really bad at interviews myself. that's one reason I stay in the same job for a long time coz i dread interviews. it doesn't help that english isn't my first language, and i have a thick accent, i talk like i'm a teenager going through puberty wi...

this is an old topic, but i figure it's better than creating another one. base on experience as an RN on the floor, i see many new nurses fresh out of school only work there for 1 year, sometimes less. I rarely see any nurses stick it out for 2 year...

Some of my fellow new grad nurses are not even from the area where I work. But this is the only place they can get a job. Just keep trying though, you might have to apply somewhere else, maybe a different city.

They won't expect you to know what the meds are for. Well maybe the basics, but nothing in depth. I would assume it's mainly dosage calculations. If you're good at dosage calculations, then are you good to go. Don't be nervous. I've never taken a pha...

Any experience you can get is welcomed I would assume. Although it may seem like it's hard to get a job right away, just don't give up, and keep at it. We hire a lot of new grads where we work in an acute care hospital with no experience. Most about ...

I understand this is an old topic. But I decided to use the search feature and found several topics, including this one because I have a similar question. I understand 2 weeks is the minimum. I also read in this topic to give multiple copies of the r...

Hi folks, I've been an RN for over 4 years, working in hospital. I consider myself to be a healthy individual. Never been on medical leave. So I don't know how to go about this dilemma. I know this is a silly question, but I figure I should ask here...

I was given a ppd skin test last year, I tested positive. The nurse tells me that if my chest x-ray turns out to be normal, then all I have to do is get a chest x-ray to be tested for tb for the rest of my life. I don't have to go through the ppd ski...

thanks for all the responses. that's what i figured at best, i remember the instructors telling us that in the future they will be more strict regarding taking the renewal with an expired card, they won't let you take it.

Hi folks. My ACLS card expires at the end of June, which is this month. I'm registered to take the ACLS renewal course next month, which is a 1-day course in the middle of July. My workplace signed me up for the class. I'm just wondering if I can ...

How should I go about teaching a group of people who are visually impaired or completely blind? This teaching is basically to reenforce the importance of management, nutrition, and exercise to this population who have diabetes. Some of this people b...

i work in a telemetry/med-surg dept. and every year as part of the annual evaluation paperwork, our manager wants us to write several goals (3 at the minimum) of what the nurses hope to accomplish or work on during the upcoming year. goals can rang...

I am taking melatonin now, but i dont think it works, it makes my eye lids feel heavy like you want to sleep but for some reason it doesnt help me go to sleep. is valerian any good?

Cool, thnx for the clarification. which is better to work in with less stress for someone like me who wants to get into dialysis nursing? chronic or acute? I'm just to stressed out with med-surg right now, I started there 18 months ago, i was a new g...

Sweet, good to hear that you're loving dialysis. I want to get into dialysis nursing myself. I have almost 18 months of med-surg experience. But med-sgur its just so stressful especially when I get 12 patients during the shift, and a couple of those...

I know that was posted a long time ago, but I'm looking to learn and possibly get into dialysis nursing. The only dialysis places I've been to was when I was going to school during clinicals. I was sent to the hospital inpatient hemodialysis unit. ...

I graduated on May 2006 from nursing. I am scheduled to take the NCLEX for the very first time on July 27, 2006. Right now I am working with my interim permit at a local hospital. My dilemma now is that I am not sure whether or not I should resche...
