Hi All, I have been a nurse at my hospital for 3 years in the PCU. I think it's time for a change, and I was offered a position in the CDU which will be opening in June. I know that pts will be there for 23hr obersvation but can anyone share their "d...

Hi ATYLER'08...thanks for your reply....your CDU sounds just like the one we will have. Mostly cardiac (which I love). I'm glad that you enjoy it. That's what I was hoping to hear. Your last sentence sums it up for me!!!

Thanks for your reply...ebear is correct. I know that it is like a "sister unit" to our ED that's why I thought I would pose the question in the emergency nursing section...

Hi Colleen6, I have done the entire paperwork thing, took my boards and passed and I wanted to let you know that there is a second page, it just says "Certification" at the top and you have to sign it. That part does not have to be notarized. Go here...

that's cool....I worked nites my first year as a CNA and I loved it ---- but it started interfering w/school; especially exam days --- so i had to transfer to days and i just figured I'd stick with it.... I went to HFSN in Blackwood....it's through C...

Unfortunately, my promotion letter only states my orientation dates for this week, so hopefully tomorrow I will find out the particulars. I am/was a CNA on the 10th floor (med/surg). I had my clinicals on the PCU a couple of semesters ago and fell i...

wow that's great.....I'll be working days and I start orientaton tomorrow; but then I have to take the critical care class which i believe is in mid july...between now and then, I think I'll just be on the floor with my preceptor scared to death!!!! ...

Congrats on passing your boards and your new job at the Coop!! I just graduated and passed the NCLEX and I will be working in the PCU at Cooper. Last summer I took the riverline and loved it (I worked as a CNA there)....Cooper has a shuttle that wil...

Hi everyone, I hope this isn't a dumb question, but one of my co-worker's brand new baby nephew was born last Monday, but he was in distress because the cord was wrapped around his neck. He has been in the NICU since then because he is not breathin...

Hi Gompers!! My friend's SIL wanted to stay at the hospital with the baby even though she herself was discharged from the hospital. I believe the hospital was basically just letting her know the policy of visiting hours. The SIL was very upset becau...

Thank you all for your replies. I have a better understanding now, and it's comforting to know that this is the "norm" for most hospitals. And Woo Hoo!!! after almost a week and a half, the baby came home today!! :balloons:

Nicole, Thank you for sharing your story!! It was totally unexpected. It's amazing how the human spirit works through any obstacle. I can't believe how insensitive mgt. was to your situation; they sound so cold and heartless. Congrats again, on yo...

Hi Nurse Nicole, Just wondering why you left Cooper after 6 months. I am currently a nursing student at Helene Fuld. I won't graduate until 2008 (ugh!), but I was just wondering what your experience was like working at Cooper. I'm asking, because I ...

Hey Shele, Good to hear from you. Not sure what you mean by "math section". You are scaring me now. Not sure of what math I need to take. Is this a pre-req? I already have my BS in Business, so the only classes I needed to take were AP I and II, ...

Hi there.....I am going to Camden County. I really didn't like the format that BCC had where the lectures were seperate from the lab and possibly different instructors. And since I work full-time, nothing really fit my schedule. So I take AP on Satur...

hey kim, congrats!!! I too will be at Helene Fuld in the Fall, not know how I will pay for it......since I already have a degree in Business, I will end up having to apply for loans, loans and more loans. Good luck with your decision and hope to see...

Well to put it in a nutshell and not to be too wordy: I already have my BS in Bus. Admin from Rutgers that I rec'vd in 1993 - but I've always wanted to be in the medical industry. I even work part-time as a medical asst. at a dr'.s office (not cert...

I too am hoping to start my nursing program in Spring of 2005 - and I am in my 30's - just out of curiosity, which school are you going to....I am trying for Helene Fuld because they have an evening program. Unfortunately I still have to work full-...
