Hi all I am an expierence nurse who had an initial interview for a periop 101 internship program and have been invited to shadow. I would like advice or recommendations on what I should do while shadowing or impression I should give and anything and what to expect after the shadow expierence. I really want to get offered to join the internship. Would appreciate any feedback! Thank you

Hi congrats on the new job, I have a phone screen/interview with mount Sinai hr was wondering if you had a phone interview and could share what I could expect to better prepare, would greatly appreciate it.

Hi that sounds like a hot mess, why would they have you go through all the process to not get back to you, did you eventually hear from them??? I have a phone screen/interview with mount Sinai, I would like to know what I can expect to better prepare.

Hi How was your phone screening, what kind of questions or topics did they cover. I have a phone call scheduled with them just want to get a feel of what it will be, to better prepare.

A nurse is caring for a 9-year-old client who was burned from a fireworks accident. Outline the steps the nurse will take to change the dressing. Pre-medicate client with prescribed pain medication. Tell child what you are going to do. Gather supplies. Put on gloves remove old dressing, cleanse area with normal saline. Debride and remove old tissue with scissors, apply cream if prescribed and cover wound with a transparent dressing. Is this correct, would you be giving the child pain medication prior to this procedure? thank you in advance for the feedback!

Order: 250cc NSS over 2 ½ hours, available tubing: 60 gtts/cc. calculate in gtts/min i got so far: 60/1hr=x/2.5 hr x=150 minutes now what do i do with that new calculations, 250/150 x 60= 100gtts/min??? did i do it correctly?? b.Order: 30 units of Pitocin in 1000 ml D5W at 20 ml/hr.How many units of Pitocin is the client receiving per hour? _____units/hr this one I am not so sure how to attempt it, 1000ml/x=20ml/1hr x=50hrs 50hrs/30units= 1.66 units/hr??????? is this set up correct

Thank you in advance

I got accepted to BSN program at a university in PA (starting this fall) without being CNA certified, but I did mention I was part of a nurse intern program senior yr high school (2008)!

Glad I found this post! I posted a similar thread about starting nursing this fall but no one ever replied! Anyways thanks all for the advice!! p.s. anyone know any good critical thinking skills book I really need to improve in that area!

Wow your chances are already looking petty great, your gpas is high and you have experience thats a plus! But do take microbiology if you have a chance! I hope you have applied already cause deadline for fall 2012 application for some of the school you listed was Jan 15!

I was near the same situation 1st yr college 2008 i got c's and lower in my science classes and withdrew from chemistry, but transferred with gpa 2.4 and raised my gpa and worked as a nurse assistance a summer before college and I got accepted to a bsn program so Yes, IF you raise your gpa and do well in the science classes and with a background in working at a hospital you'll have a chance.

Just curious as to why your in a nursing program for your associates when Most schools have programs for individuals who already have a bachelors degree in another field to get a bachelors in nursing 2 yrs. or less often time its less. Research the schools and programs in your area to see what their policies are for second-degree seeking students.

Praise God! Got accepted to the BSN program at East stroudsburg university, starting in the Fall! congratulations to the others!

I got accepted into the BSN program at ESU in east stroudsburg, pa in the fall (accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission). I have most of the prereqs done ( such as A&P, general chem, sociology, psychology, microbioogy etc.) but that was like 2 years ago and some of those classes I got Cs in them so should I refresh my mind and study these course before I begin in the fall. I still have my a&p books and psychology, and also i need to sharpen my critical thinking skills so any great books out there?. Is it worthwhile to begin preparing as I know they are making the program more intense this year and passing rate is an 80% or above. If yes how, just wanna be as prepared as possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Congratulations !! that makes two of us I received a phone call today to say I got in, now I am waiting on the official letter!!

I had a nursing interview a week and a half ago and think it went well! So any day now I am waiting for a phone call, mail package, email anything. I am praying I get in! But I am full-time student with 15 credits so schoolwork has been keeping me busy!

Hi, sorry for the late reply! The interview went great, they did not ask me as much questions as I thought! The only major thing they ask was why I want to be a nurse and my study habits. The rest was casual talk and looking at my potential nursing course schedule!
