Just got a call back today! I got one of the positions! Good luck drow, hope to see you with us!

Haven't heard anything back myself. I'll let you know if that changes though. Hopefully sometime soon!

I sent both at the same time. It's the state application that you use. But when I got the interview I was told to still bring the job application, so I suppose it didn't matter that I sent it online. Good luck!

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any information on the stony brook hiring process? I have an interview in two weeks and I was wondering if anyone had any idea on the questions they ask? This will be my very first interview for a nursing position, and lo and behold its the exact place I wanted to end up! I'm super nervous and want to be as prepared as possible for this. Any help would really be appreciated :)

Makes me feel much better to hear that, thank you!

I assumed it would be run the same as the BLS course (same place I went to), where the book was a supplement and the instructors taught you what you needed to know. So I hadn't really thought about it until I started reading up on it more. The course is tomorrow so getting the book now isn't doable. I've been reviewing all the dysrhythmias and what the ACLS drug and doses are. Found a wonderful website that covered some of what I expect is some important information. Just worried I didn't prep enough for this.

I've signed up for an ACLS certification and I get the book when I go into the class. But from what I'm reading on the web, people read the book before going to the class? I'm a little confused by this, since I don't have access to the book until the day of. If anyone has taken this recently, can you tell me if a new grad will be able to understand this class without having first prepared by reading the book? And if there is anything I should do to prep for it?

hey there, i have a question about what a grief related nursing diagnosis might be in this situation. i have already identified caregiver role strain and ineffective coping. but the question specifically asks for a "grief related nursing diagnosis." can those two diagnoses be considered grief related? here's the scenario: amy has been the sole caregiver for her 47-year old husband tom, who is in the final stages of a progressive neurological disorder (als). he is short of breath and having great difficulty swallowing. tom has chosen not to have a feeding tube or ventilator. amy has presented at the clinic with anorexia and weight loss, nausea, and headaches. the work-up for underlying disease is negative. when you sit down with her to understand her personal circumstances, she tells you about tom's circumstances. she confides to you that she is really angry at tom for being a very demanding patient, and that her caregiving skills are slipping. she describes herself as deteriorating mentally. every time he has an acute episode of respiratory distress, she becomes agitated and forgets what medicine to give him. appreciate any insight into this, thank you!
