I'M SO EXCITED. YET SO INCREDIBLY NERVOUS! I got an interview, it was a weird ticketing system to give out interviews that I've never gone through before. They send you an email letting you know to come to interview sessions, kind of like an e-vite, ...

Hey all, I've applied to both of these traditional MSN/FNP programs as I am already a BSN, RN. I just got accepted to Depaul's program. I am having trouble finding a lot of good information on the website, I've left a message with the academic advis...

I take it you are in Chicago? I'm scared to ask what hospital you work but this management and all the missed interventions are FRIGHTENING! I used to work in private community hospital in Chicago as a first hospital job, new grad and it SUCKED. PCTs...

Good now just rest up and hope you feel better!

stress anxiety task oriented real nurse? sometimes confident i do my best

Cedars Sinai? Lets trade places!!!

Um are you really that sick here you feel like you absolutely can't work, or you just don't feel good? If you are really that sick, it is a no-brainer, CALL IN! :) I wonder if any other professionals have this much anxiety over calling in sick :/

Are you looking to work/live in the suburbs or city? If you have a child I would suggest suburbia - there are some good suburbs that are close to the city but still pretty suburban, best of both worlds - arlington heights, glenview, deerfield, invern...

I work at a Catholic Hospital and although I do not have much other to compare it to, it is a nice place to work. I am NOT Catholic but I do appreciate all that the hospital does, it is a spiritual place whether you are Catholic or not thus, a lot of...

Same here.

dont do it.

^I agree with the above. And the OP. That's ********. If he is praising the dudes for something they are supposed to be doing then I want to be recognized for something I'm supposed to be doing too. I hope he realized what he did wrong when you point...

I like the tube systems. I also very much like computerized charting, moving from a hospital with computerized charting to a better hospital that is still STUCK on paper orders makes me have to do 5 extra steps to initiate and carry out orders. We...

Suburbs of Chicago $24 for new grad at my current hospital, however I had 9 months of experience (and I still consider this being a new grad) but since they didn't give me the new grad residency which is a 3 month orientation - they gave me $26.50/hr...

Sounds like you are a fabulous nurse to me. God Bless You!!

Lucky.

This could be a foreign student who has worked their ass off to try and perfect our language, which let me tell you makes little sense in the grammar department. She may have just as well obtained her bachelor degree in SOMETHING, maybe it was online...

^ Yes. He was legitimately scary. I'm sure we're talking about the same one.

The answer is NO. You cannot *ignore* a patient's request because to administration the patient=God. The patient gets a survey after their stay and will fill it out if they are ******, for any reason. You wouldn't believe what people will complain a...

I like your style of thinking. I don't see any problem with going this route IF you don't mind the enormous time it will take. In order to get your RN you definitely should get a BSN, at least you can use that to satisfy the degree pre-requisite of ...

i used to watch the show but stopped, i liked it when i watched it. obviously its inaccurate there is no sense in even complaining about that. but the scrubs are awesome, very comfy, good material, dont shrink all crazy and just well fitting. but $$$...

I was also hired without connections and I also graduated that dreadful year when NO ONE was hiring - May of 2009. I had classmates that accelerated to graduate just one semester before me (December 2008) and ALL of them (even the iffy ones) found jo...

Hmm me neither and orientation is coming up soon! I'm doing 4 even though it seems like an eternity away, I kinda was choosy between 3 and 4 but considering I'll be working full time and i don't like to be constantly studying I think it will end up b...

Me too!! Did you get you admission packet and "official" letter yet or just the unofficial letter from UIC?

With about 8 months previous experience, i moved to a different hospital , same specialty and they gave me 6 weeks orientation - 2 weeks of class and 4 weeks on the floor.
