  1. Sharp New Grad Residency Winter 2010/2011

    MrsEd replied to twentysomething's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Only one worked on the floor at MBH, and the other was a volunteer, and the third was a Sharp Employee but not at MBH. And the New Grad program that was posted in August was ONLY for L&D and they...

  2. Sharp New Grad Residency Winter 2010/2011

    MrsEd replied to twentysomething's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't sell yourself short because you'll have your ADN. If you think like that, you're already defeated before you even apply. I believe they truly look at the individual. I know that I was chosen...

  3. ADN Degrees NOT welcome? {x-posted}

    MrsEd replied to BrandeeInTraining's topic in California Nursing

    I really think the employers looks at the individuals. I got hired as an ADN nurse over a BSN

  4. ER speedbump

    MrsEd replied to t.houck's topic in General Nursing

    Not much bothers me, but the last time I was assisting with a blood patch I almost passed out - fortunately I recognized what was about to happen and I quickly excused myself to go get some air. A...

  5. Filter needles...are they necessary?

    MrsEd replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

    I have never worked anywhere that did not stock filter needles, nor have I ever worked anywhere where filter needles were stocked in the crash

  6. Filter needles...are they necessary?

    MrsEd replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

    What does the fact that the meds are sterile when you draw them out of an ampule have to do with anything? And as others have said, you have to use a needle to draw up meds from an ampule, so why not...

  7. Filter needles...are they necessary?

    MrsEd replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

    For me, using a filter needle is second nature to me and not even something I think about - just like when I pull IV tubing out of the packaging I automatically, mindlessly close the clamp. These are...

  8. Filter needles...are they necessary?

    MrsEd replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to say the exact same thing. I've never worked anywhere where filter needles were not

  9. BSN Incentive??

    MrsEd replied to MIA9er's topic in California Nursing

    I think a large part of it may the extreme difference in the cost of living in San Diego County versus Riverside County. Just

  10. Certification w/o OB experience?

    MrsEd replied to LoveANurse09's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just wanted to point out the CLC and IBCLC are not the same thing. If you're interested in becoming a lactation educator which is essentially the same thing as a CLC (certified lactation...

  11. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    MrsEd replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm sorry but I find this conversation really petty. Vet techs provide nursing care to animals, and it's not like they are referring to themselves as "Registered

  12. Sharp New Grad Program info

    MrsEd replied to MisterSimba's topic in California Nursing

    I don't work in the ED and I wasn't hired by Sharp through a new grad program. I was actually already a Sharp employee when I applied for the last new grad program and I didn't even get an interview...

  13. Sharp New Grad Program info

    MrsEd replied to MisterSimba's topic in California Nursing

    From what I've observed, it's really a mix. And just b/c one is a Sharp employee doesn't guarantee that an RN position will be waiting for him/her once he/she passes the NCLEX. However, if you're in...

  14. Frustrated with having to work

    MrsEd replied to SalishRN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work part time nights and my requirement was 4 12 hour shifts per pay period, so I just spaced them out. I NEVER worked 2 consecutive nights. That way, going to work at night just seemed...

  16. So what do you do if you cut your finger?

    MrsEd replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I recently had five stitches in my finger. When I went to work, I put a tegaderm bandage over my stitches and wore gloves for all my patient contact. I would make sure you let your CI

  18. Anyone going for IBCLC?

    MrsEd replied to MamaRose's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just started the lactation consultant program at UCSD and there is a girl who moved down from Canada for the year, another who moved from FL, and another who is flying in from Miami for class every...

  19. San Diego: City College, Grossmont, National University

    MrsEd replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    Even when there were still waiting lists, there were still people applying to community colleges who already possessed degrees. It's not a new novel concept to save time and money by getting your...

  20. San Diego: City College, Grossmont, National University

    MrsEd replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not sure why you would say that about Grossmont. As a Grossmont grad I always felt supported by the Grossmont faculty and staff starting from the time I applied all the way through until I...

  21. Sharp New Grad Program info

    MrsEd replied to MisterSimba's topic in California Nursing

    From what I remember about applying to Sharp's new grad program last spring, there is a supplemental form that needs to be filled out. It will be available to you once you apply for a new grad...

  22. OB RN's and liability coverage

    MrsEd replied to Suncat12's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've been told that if you are insured by your employer, it's best not to carry your own liability insurance b/c that fact is public record, therefore if your employer is being sued, you can also...

  23. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    MrsEd replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ummm....maybe b/c they HAVEN'T been through nursing school they can't truly appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into becoming a nurse. I think part of it is just the culture of health...

    MrsEd replied to nursejoey05's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Peppermint oil was very effective for me after my first birth and my bladder was so distended I thought it would explode out of my

  25. Why do doctors office pay nurses pennies to work for them?

    MrsEd replied to danursern's topic in General Nursing

    I second this. I worked in Primary Care for 2 years and while it did not involve a high level of critical thinking, it was pretty freaking stressful. I worked in two different practices but...
