thanks emurphee....I appreciate the message. Any specific tips relating to cardiac that you've learned so far? thanks

oh i get it..thanks a lot :)

What is PCCN test? ??

This question is for "do-over" What different monitors are the patients on? :) Thanks

hello all...not really familar with cardiac/tele floor ...i hear people say "drips" are important.. so ya'll talking about IV cardiac meds right? whats a good resource to familarize youself with that.

awesome i'll keep it in mind...well i was thinking family nurse practitioner as a future career ........so with taht said i'm thinking cardiac is the best choice to prepare for that?

good advice! I'm a new nurse... but what do you mean by know your "drips" please give a resource or something thanks

someone mentioned about the night differential how much is it?? also...is it diferent for the new nurses? thanx

Hello I'm sorry you're feeling this way! I just got out of nursing school too (RN), but my theory is WRITE IT DOWN.. think about it...if people are whispering LET THEM WHISPER...EVERYONE is in your shoes once in their life right? It would be so much better to write it down...absorb it and remember it as opposed to forgetting again and again for the same thing...right? So don't be ashamed...your goal is to take care of those patients and if u have to write notes about what u learned..thats what u have to do... keep motivated...you can do it..maybe go home and study some diseases that were seen that day! anyway even though im' new i hope this made u feel better.. take care and god bless :)

Hello All, First of all I thank everyone for replying to me on this website. I feel this is a great resource to get support from fellow nurses! Well I have a new situation at hand. I am a new grad...(finished in may), and I am sitting today with TWO job offers...I know....:yeah: I feel very blessed. The two different units are Neuro/telemetry...which is a step down from ICU unit..and the other unit is CARDIAC/telemetry. BOTH positions are at night. I will be preceptoring with a preceptor for 8 weeks for which ever unit I chose. I am willing to learn and need advice on which to pick. As in what are the pros and cons? ????? I do not have experience and since they are both at night (esp neuro..) it makes me a bit more nervous..obviously bc there is less staf.. Anyway..any awesome neuro/tele nurses out there to give me their wise words????? Thanks :heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat

any tips for a new grad going into cardiac /tele????

question to everyone here: so...for a new grad which job would be a good transition out of nursing school? 1. cardiac telemtry unit 2. Ortho unit 3. neur /tele step down unit any input is appreciated !! I am willing to learn...although don't want to take too much of a load...just b/c im nervous !

wow neuro ICU as a new grad? holy crap...that seems pretty intense? how long is the training?

i know neurosurgery is challenging..but what about doing it right out of school?

I am happy for you MiVida Loca...that sounds really exciting!! I wanted to ask you...I just graduated in May..and im sorta sad..because these RN new grad programs/residencieis aren't going to start again until January!!!! What do i do?
