Thanks for sharing your experience. I got hired in an ortho/neuro unit. I declined the onco..

Yes! My Uncle is white and he's over 50 and he thinks his grammar is perfect! LOL Love him though.

Filipino and Jap.. I know a little bit of Spanish and French.. Anyway, I got the job, but not in Onco. They have available position for ortho/neuro so I took it. Yay! I am so excited!!! And if you guys see me posting stuff with wrong grammar, please let me know so I can fix and learn from it. Thanks!!!

Ooops sorry!! It's a grammar error. I am still trying to improve my English. I am not perfect and no one is perfect. However, I know that there's always a room for improvement. It's my third language, so I have to learn it the hard way. I'll try harder next time and thanks for the ADVICE. Haha

Do a lot of pharm questions!!!

Thanks guys for your time to share your opinions. I really appreciate it!!!!

Good luck!!!

Size of cuff can really alter the BP result. It should always snug the patient's arm properly. Taking BP manually when results are doubtful is the next option. Yes, the patient could have been harmed if her BP happened to be low.. Like what others said, there was no harm done, so you should be fine. You might get some words from your instructor, but really he/she should have been there to check the patient too. Did you tell your instructor that you took the BP from your pt's forearm???

I don't know what the job requires a new grad like me to do yet.. I have read couple of forums saying that working in oncology floor is fine as long as internal radiations are avoided and proper protective gears are worn. I also agree with the fact that the biggest issue might be me taking a leave soon after the orientation is over. I have an interview on Monday and I will just address it to the interviewer just to be on the safe side. If I don't get the job, oh well, there's more job coming. If I do, that will be great too.. But we'll see. Thank you guys for the advices! I'll post updates after my interview..

I am 2 months pregnant and have been applying for couple of jobs for the past 2 months. For the first time (EVER) I got a call for an interview, BUT it is for oncology unit. I know that there are things that a pregnant woman should avoid like radiation/radioactive patients.. I am debating myself if I should push for the job or just decline it because of my pregnancy.. Should I tell the HR that I am pregnant during the interview or after I get hired?? Has anyone experienced this or knew someone who went through this situation?? I need advices please???

Kuya?? I'm not a kuya!!!! BAD!!!

Just do what you feel like you have to do.. Don't stress much, you did a lot and I believe that you will do great. Good luck ate!
