  2. Families!

    chloecatrn replied to MissyF_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you for taking the time to treat your patient like a person first. When I did acute care, I had a patient that I spoke to during every step of her care. I knew that she'd never respond, but...

  3. Bad neighborhood?

    chloecatrn replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that this is true in all neighborhoods. In some areas, I think that this identifies you as someone who may be carrying medications, including narcotics. I have done home health...

  4. What's your hospital policy on blood transfusions?

    chloecatrn replied to ADNRN1410's topic in General Nursing

    Pump. Everything over

  5. NLNAC/CCNE accreditation-will this REALLY affect my success?

    chloecatrn replied to PurpleLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Most BSN programs will want you to have attended a nationally accredited RN program before they'll admit you for further study. I'm not saying that you wouldn't be able to get into some BSN programs,...

  6. Degree options after BSN

    chloecatrn replied to beachtrauma's topic in Nursing Career

    If you like your patients awake and hands on, CRNP. If you like them asleep and hands on-ish, CRNA. If you want to go the CRNA route, you'll need 1-2 years in an ICU before you can apply to most...

  7. Gonorrhea

    chloecatrn replied to kagkat's topic in General Nursing

    Google Scholar = Gonorrhea Now. I am JUST a diploma nurse, and it took me 10 seconds to do that. Most of that time was opening the new window. Google Scholar is teh

  9. So tired of crappy treatment by seasoned nurses!

    chloecatrn replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    The position that OP took is at a Mollen flu clinic. They provide online education, and then most employees run the clinic based on that training. Some, based on recommendations from others on the...

  10. Update- Got written up at work after ph. call from boss...

    chloecatrn replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Start looking outside the hospital. Look at LTC, look in the ED, look at other hospitals in your area. What about L&D? There are other avenues. Is there another med/surg unit in your hospital?...

  11. Im trying to write about issues in the workplace and "bullying" is a great topic

    chloecatrn replied to jackie20's topic in General Nursing

    There's actually been a ton of research done on solving this problem. Try looking under "horizontal violence" for some studies. Confronting the bully head on has been shown to be wildly

  12. So tired of crappy treatment by seasoned nurses!

    chloecatrn replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    You're observing. You're there to shadow, not to get taught. There's no precepting policy in place that requires the people working the flu clinic to be responsible for teaching you how to close the...

  13. Best White Scrubs

    chloecatrn replied to ishootu's topic in General Nursing

    Cherokee Workwear. Stand up to bleaching well, although they are a little on the thinner side. But really, I think the dinginess prevention is more important, because white scrubs get nasty

  14. Drugs approved for cystic fibrosis?

    chloecatrn replied to belfry's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Pancreatic enzymes, too. Pancrease, Pancreacarb,

  15. How much notice when quitting a per diem job?

    chloecatrn replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    All of nursing isn't done under such rocky conditions. However, in order to have the opportunity to figure that out, you'll have to give two weeks notice. The market is so tight right now that...

  16. Gift ideas for nursing staff?

    chloecatrn replied to KB24's topic in General Nursing

    Dunkin' Donuts is the best idea ever. I freaking love their donuts. And pick up a pound of coffee for the coffee pot,

  17. Question re ACLS

    chloecatrn replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I took ACLS before I could really read a rhythm strip. I did, however, spend a lot of time before I went to class with the ACLS materials learning the lethal

  18. How much notice when quitting a per diem job?

    chloecatrn replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    You need to put this job on your resume, and on every application that you fill out. Employers can and will fire you if they find that you've been dishonest about your employment history. It's...

  20. VA Hiring Question

    chloecatrn replied to chloecatrn's topic in Government, Military

    It sounds like I'm on track then, as far as the wait time goes. My husband knows someone who knows a UD there, and she said she'd be happy to put in a good word for me. I always feel bad taking...

  21. Is it realistic that I'll make 80-100,000 thousand after I graduate with associates.

    chloecatrn replied to Awright162's topic in General Nursing

    If ANYONE is starting as a new grad at $40 an hour, it's got to be in a ridiculously high cost of living area such that the pay has to offset the living expenses. OP, you can make that much, with...

  22. Pre-Employment Physical Exams

    chloecatrn replied to MMurse's topic in General Nursing

    You may still have to get the Tdap booster. I'm not trying to be a pain, I just want you to be prepared. With the recent increase in pertussis cases, a lot of places are requiring titers or...

  23. Pre-Employment Physical Exams

    chloecatrn replied to MMurse's topic in General Nursing

    You may have to present evidence of MMR/Tdap/Varicella vaccination or recent titers. If you haven't had them drawn, it's possible that you'll have to have them drawn. Most hospitals want to know...

  24. Please, help critique my resume!

    chloecatrn replied to grateful2010's topic in General Nursing

    Wait until you've been accepted for your BSN to put it on your resume. Then, add it as Bachelor of Science, Nursing, expected December 2012 with the school's name on a separate line underneath. Skip...

  25. VA Hiring Question

    chloecatrn replied to chloecatrn's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks so much. I've already gotten a letter from another VA that I applied to at the same time saying that I haven't been selected to interview, which is what I think is making me so eager to hear...
