  1. Interview left me speechless

    chloecatrn replied to loving2's topic in General Nursing

    I would call the hospital's HR department and explain to them that you're interested in the position, but that you're unable to accept at this time, and detail the interview. Offer to send a...

  2. Making a difference.

    chloecatrn replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

  3. Nurses with depression

    chloecatrn replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Right. Except for those times that I can't get out of bed. And those times that I can't stop crying. No, there's no faking it here, especially now, without a job. There's only, real, serious...

  4. resume help

    chloecatrn replied to sweetness09's topic in General Nursing

    I would make sure that I get permission from the family to list the position, because they may be contacted to verify employment, but definitely list the job. Also, ask if you may use them as a...

  5. Back to work after a loss of pregnancy...

    chloecatrn replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have no magic words, and I have no answer for this question. I have only positive thoughts and prayers to offer you at this difficult time. If you're not feeling ready to return on Friday, I'm...

  6. Hospital choosing new IV pumps....any advice or input would greatly appreciated!

    chloecatrn replied to luv2rsq's topic in General Nursing

    :heartbeat the Alaris pump. The library of meds allows you to program in patient weight, concentration, and med and have a double check of safe dose. I also like that the loading mechanism is very...

  7. Long-Distance Job Searching - How To Do It?

    chloecatrn replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there's a reason that you can't do that work. You can e-mail and call and follow up on your resume. I think that would show more initiative on your part than simply hiring someone to...

  8. QUESTION

    chloecatrn replied to EILEEN456's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just as an FYI, a more descriptive subject line will likely draw you more answers. :) You can certainly be an L&D nurse with an ADN. However, it all depends on the hospitals in your area whether...

  9. FREEDOM! I Quit my med-surge job!

    chloecatrn replied to zofran's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations. Good luck with finding a position that doesn't require a nurse to wear all of those hats. Or, in today's market, any position at all. It's not easy out

    chloecatrn replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Nursing

  12. moving in 6-9 months; would you accept new position?

    chloecatrn replied to sameasalways's topic in Nursing Career

    I would accept; in case your move falls through, you will have a position outside of med-surg that you will enjoy. If your move pans out, however, be sure to give your supervisor plenty of heads up...

  13. What to report to unit supervisor, Advice please!

    chloecatrn replied to AnewerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd have mentioned it. What if this patient had been hard to match and the blood had expired in the interim? Then the patient would have to go without while the blood bank tried to secure more blood...

  14. O2 Sat 88%-90%, MD no action, opinions.

    chloecatrn replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient was comfortable and was a known CO2 retainer with no other indications of a change in status (i.e.: cyanosis, AMS, tachypnea, tachycardia), then no, I'd leave well enough alone, but...

  15. Should I join the ANA?

    chloecatrn replied to Nursing12345's topic in General Nursing

    The ANA isn't a union. It's just a professional

  16. Which nursing programs is cheaper Rush, Depaul or UIC for a Master-Entry Program?

    chloecatrn replied to Xavier2010's topic in General Nursing

    Rush is top 10. That's probably going to have a little pull anywhere. But cheaper? That's a simple Google

  17. job dilemma

    chloecatrn replied to kvdlr's topic in Nursing Career

    No, it won't. If there is an incident and you would be held liable to your highest license, your RN license, the hospital likely isn't going to care that you're an RN... they're going to defend you...

  19. Failed my CNA skills... I need encouragement please

    chloecatrn replied to NICU Kristen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yup. I'd have failed that too. Study your packet and you should pass, but seriously, without it, with that much pickiness, you probably didn't stand a chance. You'll do great this time!

  22. Over riding a resident?

    chloecatrn replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    Chest pain is something I don't play with. Labs take, maybe, 10 minutes? And the EKG is another 10? If this guy had an MI, and you were the reason that the troponins and EKG were pushed an hour,...

  23. Anyone know anything about Public Health Educator career ?

    chloecatrn replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing
