    Hoozdo replied to deeDawntee's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Try to get yourself up to 80% on the PASS CCRN tests. Practice, practice, practice makes perfect. Read all the rationales for all the questions - even if you get them right. I am not talking about the...

    Teaching vs. Non-teaching hospital

    Hoozdo replied to ericdb68's topic in MICU, SICU

    I think a new grad would benefit more from a teaching hospital. You can pick up a lot of tips from the attendings teaching the residents. The residents are really eager to learn and not jaded like a...

    Best area to reside if working at Banner Thunderbird Medical

    Hoozdo replied to LeeTendayi's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Do not pick "old Glendale" to reside in. There is a lot of gang activity. I would say do not live south of Cactus. Avoid anything on Glendale Ave or within one mile of it unless it is east of Central....

    Good shoes for people with high arches?

    Hoozdo replied to jab41910's topic in General Nursing

    I second this. My feet are actually sad when I take them off, even after a 14 hour + shift. I also found an Austrian brand, Think!, that are just as good or better than Birkies. They required zero...

    Hoozdo replied to Ilubrize's topic in General Nursing

    NOTHING bothers me except dentures! I don't know why either. Oh, I have to take it back........once I saw urine so purulent in a foley tube that it completely blocked the foley. It looked like a long...

    Hoozdo replied to madwife2002's topic in Arizona Nursing

    June was slow, but July was jumping! One week in June I was mistakenly called off 3 nights in a row. I raised some heck about that. This week they called me to work overtime on 3 of my 4 nights off. I...

    Assessment Techniques

    Hoozdo replied to fiestygirl's topic in MICU, SICU

    Good post. I would also add, why are they on the drips that they are. If something seems kooky........it probably is. For example - a couple of weekends ago I took report on a pt that has NS with 2...

    Sitters, give 'em a break!

    Hoozdo replied to anonymurse's topic in General Nursing

    What about nurses, give 'em a break? Nobody ever comes up to me to relieve me for a break or lunch. If I have a sitter, I expect them to be able to tell me when they need a break. If you are a...

    Hoozdo replied to jamonit's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I haven't worked at Mayo but have been there many times as a patient in the past. Could you stand to wear white every day? I can't. The patients at Mayo are kind of spoiled and that might burn you...
