It’s been good. I prescribe controlled substances but am able to do that because I’m under the critical care center. I hope that you enjoy your fellowship. Your salary is definitely higher than Critical Care ?

CONGRATS ! Which program are you doing ? There are so many programs at emory ? There’s a critical Care NP/PA, a heme/onc fellowship, and some others ..

It may have happened to you, but it doesn’t happen to White women at the same rate as Black women. The research shows an alarmingly high rate of poor outcomes. “African American women die in pregnancy or childbirth at a rate of three to four times th...

All nurses aren’t “good” nurses. Nurses are still humans. There will be times personal biases affect your care. It’s important to not act omnipotent and oblivious to the fact that there are nurses that perform inequitable healthcare or don’t advocate...

Thank you!!

As a nurse of color this discussion board is alarming with how many nurses are biased and are constantly refuting evidence based research that women of color are not treated equitably in healthcare. Calling the Senator “Pocahontas” because she ident...

I asked the folks interviewing me about what the preceptorship would be like and was told it was a gradual move from a preceptor to being on my own. They didn’t say if that would be in week 6 or if that was in week 36 though. Do you feel as if you’re...

I'm currently applying to a residency program and wondered what your thought was about your current program. How many hours do you work in direct clinical verses class time ? What’s your support like in terms of preceptors ? Are they hands on the fu...

Neuro, NP thanks for replying. I’ve learned that there are some NP fellowships/residencies that pay 60-70k around the country. As a nurse I make more than 50-55k, so it’s a little bit of a juggle for me to make less with the additional debt from scho...

I am applying as well. I’m trying to see what the salary will be and am nervous about the work expectations ?

I'm currently applying to various positions in a field that I've been in for about 2.5 years, and was wondering how do other nurses go about negotiating their hourly wage? I've only had one nursing job and the HR department said the salary couldn't b...

Oh wow that's awesome.

Oh okay, I see what you're saying. Thanks again!

I think they are really at a need at this specific hospital and uniy. The unit had a 50% turnover last year so they are looking for nurses with a bit more experience.

I never even thought of that. The cost of living is just so high in the new city, and I'm starting grad school. I didn't want to put myself in a crazy situation. I'll just wait to see what they offer.

Yeah, the minimum is 1 year.

Thank you so much for responding. I saw that the job I am applying for started at $25/hr and wondered if my 2.5 years of experience would increase that base amount.

I think that I'm an HSP nurse. I scored 12 on the q and a. Lately, I have been getting waves of nausea and had one episode of vomiting in the middle of cleaning a patient up. I had cleaned the patient three times even though he had a rectal tube ..bu...

How long did it take fostering?

Bwahhahahaha

Bwahahahahahaha

Like, I said this is my experience. My unit does not teach RNs with less than a year of nursing experience to do CRRT ( just asked the educator). Every unit is different. What's laughable is that you think all units are equivalent. I'm often the onl...

How was your interview? I'll be interviewing for a CTICU and MICU today.

I started taking CRRT patients after two years of ICU experience. I took the class after a year and a half of working in the icu though.. I think that was sufficient. CRRT patients are often unstable ICU patients requiring dialysis. They are often n...

Hello everyone, Are there any nurses that currently works in the ICUs at UVA? What's the unit and teamwork like? Also, for those moving to Charlottesville, what are you doing in regards to housing? The rent in that city seems high to me!
