Whatever you do, don't give up. NICU is what I have always wanted to do also and I a finally here... It took me along time. I got accepted into the OR right out of school (2006). about 2 years ago I started looking into getting into a NICU. I appli...

HI! I have recently started in the NICU also. I found a report sheet on here a while ago and printed it off so that when I started working NICU i could use it. I found that once I started on the unit they also had a report sheet... I have found I don...

typical days can very depending on what type of hospital (community, trama, etc.) hours too can very. Im my hospital we have people that work 8, 10 and 12 hour shifts. If you are interested I would say you should apply and during the interview ask i...

hi all. i posted last year about applying for a nicu job. i have always wanted to work in the nicu and for a year now i have been actively speaking with our nicu manager and it seems that the ball is finally rolling (slowly...) currently i am an or n...

I currently work OR and hopefully I am transfering to NICU soon. Either way, the hospital scrubs are what are provided for us. I personally like it. 1. I don't have to pay for scrubs and I don't have to worry about laundering them also. 2. if you gai...

I wanted to say that I am in your boat so I thought I would share my experience. I applied for a job in the NICU of the hospital I work at in Feb 2010. I then e-mailed the manager of NICU and told her who I was, that I had always been interested in N...

i think you should put it in your resume.. just the facts you did this at this time for this long etc, then during your interview you will have a chance to show how you feel, and how you treat your patients and that you don't judge. It will def. come...

hi all... i currently am an or nurse and have been for 4 years. when i got out of school i wanted to do l&d but never got the interview. i have been searching and have found an l&d position and actually got an interview:yeah:!! i am also goin...

i work in a 14 or hospital non trama we are required to have acls (had to obtain within 1 yr of accepting position) if we don't or let it lapse we can't transport to and from icu... and i'm sure theres some other things... not sure what because i don...

i vote to just go straight for your rn... once you get out of school it is hard to go back. at least for me it is. i went straight for my bsn and i believe its the best thing i have ever done for myself. i have since wanted to go back for my np, and ...

i was a new grad that was hired directly into the or internship program. the question came up at my interview "why should we hire you directly out of school with you doing a year of med/surg?" i told them, that i am an open book that they could teach...

loveanurse... thanks!! i have not joined nann although i have looked at their site. i am also thinking of buying "the handbook of neonatal nursing" which i have read on here is a helpful book.

hi all! i am in the process of interviewing for a nicu position at the hospital i currently work at (at the moment i work in the or for the past 4 years). this is something i have always wanted to do and have a passion for! the interviewing process h...

an rn can work as a scrub nurse, but if you don't have prior experience with scrubing you prob. won't be considered for the tech position. example: i am an or nurse and during my internship we were taught to scrub and circulate, therefore i could scr...

rns are not allowed to administer propofol under dr orders or not! it is outside our scope of practice and that nurse can get in a lot of trouble!

update: i haven't heard anything since my interview with the director so today i went over and talked to the manager. she stated that she really would like to hire me, but with the economic statis of the hospital they would like to wait for the next ...

i would say that if the patient hasn't spoken with the doctor then they have the right to refuse to sign the consent until they speak with the doctor and all their questions are answered by the doc. yes we as nurses can help answer questions, but it ...

lacross ball in rectum! yep.. the guy was so upset with himself... hot sauce bottle, candle, vase, coke bottle, vibrators.... also, my fiance is a scrub tech and got called in one night because a guy was "changing a lightbulb" and happened to be nake...

this is my understanding, 1. fresh-sent without formalin, is "fresh" out of body and needs processed. we send straight down to lab tell them anything inparticular that the MD wants. 2. gross- this is when the MD send it down, but they are just going ...

i don't change my gloves after a vaginal prep- gloves are still steril. also i was tought to always prep belly button first then move out.

i agree with the above, i also believe that being able to scrub is a huge plus for a circulator. i have been in the or for 4 years straight out of college. in our internship it was mandated that we learned the scrub roll. i believe it helps you reali...

community hosp. 14 ors & a cysto room. we do not floot to floors nor do they float to us. if we are down cases they cancel people or put us on call.

i agree with the majority of the above posts. i do not work in the er but i do work in the or and we have patients that are worried about making it through, or we have families of patients that are scared of what could happen. if my patient is sick a...

i am an or nurse in md. as previously stated, in our state the dr. is allowed to order what they would like written on the consent form and then the pre-op nurse is only witnessing the signature of the patient. the dr. is the one that should have alr...
