All the LTC I worked at did not have a crash cart. I never utilized my acls in this setting. We did not have suction or oxygen without an order. Choking wasnt a problem during the entire 2yrs I worked LTC. These guys see therapy so often that at the ...

The college in town here is a 4 semester program for pmhnp. Its built for bsn students. All the programs I have looked at (university of nebraska at omaha, vanderbilt, creighton university, and marquette university) do not have any np programs that l...

Im in an rn-bsn program thats completely online. Its at university of nebraska medical center. Webpage is http://www.unmc.edu. I love it. I have very few projects and the program is 7 classes

I found out I pregnant 2 weeks before we graduated. I was the 9th person in our class to get pregnant. I will say if you take nclex right away and land a job its not too bad. I graduated in may, took nclex in july, and got my current job in september...

Im applying this december for a fall start for the dual FNP/midwife program but the admissions lady told me they only accept 5-8 BSN applicants a year! Im already nervous and to wait 3 months for a decision sounds horrible!!

I have anxiety disorder. During nursing school id have panic attacks during tests and even lecture! I never once took meds. Here is what I did to conquer the anxiety (panic attack free for 9months now!) If I drink caffeine it is beverage a day betwee...

I joined it for a resume builder since I really didnt do much extracurriculars in college

I saw it on the news. I looked it up on google and this was released about a month before I saw the tv story. This seems more reasonable. http://m.omaha.com/om/pm_27428/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=WFCzGRlb I believe things do need to change but I r...

I love 12's. I do days and its not a hosptial setting, nor is it geriatric LTC. We get overtime for over 12hrs in a day and our lunch break is paid. There is a lot of downtime and I only stayed late once. I just love my job!

Another trick ive learned is putting coffee down the tube. Works like a charm. My boss told me about this one day and it really did work when coke didnt

So I graduated in May 2012 and would love to get into Trauma ICU. I have my ACLS, PALS, and plan to take my TNCC in October of this year. There are two trauma centers in my city (Omaha, NE) but they require at least a year of critical care/ED experie...

The news covered a story here that stated that "in response to obamacare" one of the local hospitals went on a hiring freeze and laid off 5200 employees. This was dec 2012

ok so I put out my resume and applied to about 10-20 jobs a week. I finally got an interview at a place much closer than my current position for a little bit more pay. I was first told that I would interview in front of the two managers that were hir...

Do.you have access to anyone's acls book? I learned ekg's the best through that class. I had a rough time in school with them. I knew "oh crap you're dying" and "you are fine" lol but acls got me to note quite a few different ones

In my school we were taught to bring the patient back to reality, for example tell the pt that baby was not real, but now working with a population that is more psych than medical you never tell a patient a hallucination or idea is not reality. You c...

The depends are actually quite comfortable! Lol I saw a pp say the incontinence brief as could be an option. After baby number 2 I had literally no bladder control for a week. They will hold a full bladder worth of urine so im sure they will work for...

Area: omaha, nebraska Field: developmental disabilities medical support unit (ltc without elderly) Job: FT RN (new grad with ADN) Pay rate: $20.25

I agree with the past few posters. I catch myself trying to sign with my rn on everything! Congrats on getting a job!! :)

Congrats! I didnt study either and passed in 75 questions and under an hour. I figured if I didnt know the info by then I never would know it!

I have anxiety disorder and found that a few lifestyle changes helped me the most. One caffeinated drink between the hours of 1000 and 1800, limit sugar intake, sleep 8hrs. Im not a big med taker since I tend to have bad reactions.

I went from a ltc where I had 35 residents to one where I only have 6. I have the same problem as you! I learned time management from when I had a lot of residents and even though I hated that job I can say that I appreciate that learning experience!...

You should qualify for fmla by then. You need to work 1250 hours which is about 7months fulltime to qualify. Its 26 wks total unpaid. You only get that much total for working at a place I believe. I was hired in sept and just had my baby 5 days ago a...

Here in nebraska/iowa we have a geri-psych facility but it is not very big. Most still end up in nursing homes and fall through the cracks.

I live in Iowa and i've never reported end of employment. You ltc sounds much like the one I was at when I worked as an lpn. I had 3 training shifts and left with 35 residents. I was always short on aides and it was pure crazy! I gave a two week noti...

In my experience I have always called the doctor and found out what he wants to do. When it causes bleeding it can leak urine around the site so ive always just clarified
