A scene like this was enough to make me want to turn around and go back home. There were many nights I came on shift to a scenario like this and just wanted to cry. This definitely made for a "fun" night. At least, we were busy and time flew by quic...

Hello all, I've been offline from Allnurses.com for a number of years now, but recently reignited my passion for nursing after working in the insurance/risk management world for the last 4 years. I worked as a L&D nurse a few years ago and had to...

Hello All, I am a Christian and a new nurse and I am in the process of trying to learn how to incorporate my faith into my work. I believe that becoming a nurse is something God has called me to do after being in corporate America for 8 years now; I ...

This is quite scary and heart wrenching to know in light of the fact that NYC has lost several hospitals in the last couple of years. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/six_city_hosps_in_critical_condition_JDR8dg9i4uQQSZmFelMIEJ?CMP=OTC-rss&FEED...

Thank you so much for this post, VickyRN. I will definitely make great use of this for all the papers I have to write for grad school.

Thank you so much, ♪♫ in my ♥ I am taking a Pharmacotherapeutic course soon and definitely need a review/study aid that I can use to brush up before the course starts; this works very well!

Below please find a link from AWHONN with regards to an alarming issue not commonly assessed for in pregnant and postpartum women: "According to a new report out of CA, the number of maternal deaths in the state has doubled in recent years, mirrorin...

Wow, nocturnalnurse, that is really heartbreaking especially since the mom was being treated prior to her death. An article like this can help healthcare members be more aware to look for and treat these complaints differently. As we know, pregnancy ...

RI Nurse, I did get a job in a teaching hospital on a L&D unit as a new graduate. I am blessed to have received such an opportunity knowing how competitive this field is and how many places would not give a new graduate such a position without p...

Hello, As NurseKitten and the other posters suggested, if you have a good feeling about this, go right on ahead. I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and took my chance going on an interview last week for a night position on a labor and delivery unit. I ...

Congrats on your new baby, Elvish, hope all went well for you. :)

Hi Sweetiie17, I just wanted to let you know that I received my acceptance letter yesterday. In addition, they sent the course schedule for the Spring semester, information on orientation/registration, and on setting yourself up as a student at NYU. ...

I too am looking forward to it, Sweetiie17. I will keep you posted as well. Best of luck and congrats to you too.

Hey Sweetiie17, I interviewed last Tuesday and it went very well. The program director is very nice and passionate about her profession. I am excited about the program and cannot wait to get my letter advising me of my acceptance. Did you receive an...

Hey Sweetiie17, Happy Holidays! Sorry about the late reply. I have been away from my computer and am now following up with messages. I did hear back from the director of the program about setting up an interview in the next few days. I am very excite...

Great question, Sweetiie17, I too am interested since I just sent in my application for the Spring 2011 semester. Thanks!

Not only are they not hiring, as most if not all HHC hospitals are doing, but they are planning lots of lay offs that I am certain will include nurses. What very sad times these are, especially for those nurses looking for jobs. Apparently, the stat...

I just want to say that I really enjoyed reading every single post on this thread and laughed so hard at times. I too am fortunate enough to have married an amazing, self sufficient, and brilliant younger man, in his 20's, from the Netherlands who is...

Michelle, I love it! LMAO!! You sound like you're at an AA meeting, except for Pen Addicts. I would be there right beside you confessing my sick confession. To date, I currently have three large containers full of over 300 pens of all types. Whenever...

Hello All and Happy Holidays! I just want to add my here because I can understand both sides of the coin, being both a newer nurse and an old pro in the corporate world. What I find is that many new nurses/employees are overconfident and act as if ...

Hello All, I myself am against abortion and I worked on a L&D unit w/o having to participate in terminations. What I did was address this with my ADN prior to starting orientation and followed up with a letter stating such. Fortunately, my ADN wa...

Hello, I agree with salarany's post in that the nursing courses are one per semester. This does not include other requirements you may need to take (applicable mostly to the day program since evening/weekend students are required to take all pre-reqs...

hello, i attended the transfer registration yesterday and it went well, except the rn to bsn ascend program is held primarily on wednesdays. for me it doesn't work at this time since i have a regular m-f 9-5pm job. i am only able to take one course...

Hey Milkberry, I do believe they will advise us there. The e-mail they sent me with the invitation indicates that advisement will be available in addition to the registration of classes. It would be silly not to have advisement for new students since...
