SNCH-South Nassau Communities Hospital. So I do not see a lot of posts about this hospital on this site. But I have heard great things about this hospital out of people's mouth, which is worth a lot . But I still want a little bit more information ...

I lived Tupelpo MS I was getting 19 an hour. And it took me about 5 months to find a job. Its hard down there.

I just recently purchased the Nurse Mates, Ultimate Nursing Bag in the floral print. It is supposed to be delivered some time this week and I am excited to get it. I saw some reviews saying it is a pretty big bag but I want one that is specifically f...

I am interested in working at NMMC. Is it very difficult to get a job there as a new RN?

So I just came back from taking this test and like other posters, it was kind of difficult. It seems like if you have not been in school for a while or not working in med surg or on a floor, some of the questions maybe kind of difficult. The math que...

Love it

.....who else hears them after a long shift? Because I sure do. lmao!

Alarm fatigue is such a real problem not even for those patients in the ICU but for all patients in the hospital. I wish there was something we could do to stop the incessant beeping. And clearly it affects the staff too. It is a shame. Thanks for th...

At my new job we do something called Multidisciplinary rounds. (I am a fairly new nurse and I am very new to a stroke unit) It is where the different departments (Dr's, SW, stroke coordinator and so on) meet all together everyday to speak about the p...

Hello everyone. I have to wear all white to work and I don't mind it much. But these days I cannot seem to get away from getting ink stains on my uniform. If it is not by my own clumsiness or just by the ink trolls, lol. I have been using clorax and ...

Just a hint for those looking for a job, like I am . They update their site daily http://www.nslijcareers.com/. I have seen usually after 3pm sometimes after 6pm. But it could be at any time. So if you have time during the day you can check the site ...

What pattern did you get? I got the white one with pink, green and purple on it.

I recently was hired by an agency to a hospital and I just wanted to know how do I add the agency or hospital correctly? It is confusing because I need to know if I just add the agencies name and the hospitals name or just the agency. Thanks in adva...

I know I am like the 30th person to post something like this but let me be the 31st, . I just got a job on a cardiac/stroke unit . I start on the 15th and I am very excited. I realized in the middle of my schooling that I was interested in cardiac....

I just purchased three Nursemates compression trouser support socks with 11mmHg strength. I tried them on and it didn't feel very tight or "compressing", lol. I didn't want to start with a high strength and suffer through that. But maybe I need a str...

We were directed to dress professional or business casual. I didn't mind.

From working 5 days a week. 3-11, every Friday off and every other weekend off with the exception of working every other Sunday. Now THAT is having no life. I am TOO excited to finally have the 12 hour shift and the guaranteed 4 days off. Just sayi...

I love my Dansko shoes!

I have been meaning to buy this book. Looks like a good one to add to the collection.

Hi I just received my bag today. And it is slightly bigger and and taller than I thought it was going to be. But I think I am going to love it being that I could fit my whole world to come to work with me, lol. Thanks for the responses!

I personally love the Dansko brand. Every other brand/shoe I tried, has given me soooo much leg and foot pain, it was riduculous. I also had a foot injury I never took care of and this shoe always gives me comfort.

I didn't grad from USC, it was SU-South University. Yeah it is a well known school and that may be true but it really depends on the city you are moving to and NY is so saturated as it is. But if you know someone that can get you in that would be gre...

Okay, I admit it isn't my "first" actual job, but I am still considering this as my first job. After a year and 6 months I finally have the job I have been looking for . My start date is July 15th and l already feel really good about this. I gradu...

You're welcome!

How exciting! Congrats to you too. I can't wait to hear how things are going for us in like 6 months. It will be interesting to hear if the experiences are the same. I really like this book ECG Workout: Exercises in Arrhythmia Interpretation / Editio...
