The only time I've ever seen it is in a post-op pt after they use dye.

I had that problem with a hospital I applied to. The woman from HR said "you went to ____? We don't hire grads from ____." I felt like it was discrimination, but I think they have the right to hire whoever they want and they can just say it was something in the resume that they felt didn't qualify you. I think it's terrible that HR judges us on where we went to school. I lucked out and got a job at the hospital I was at as a Student Nurse Intern and I'm still there, two years post graduation. Good luck in your job search and I'm so sorry to hear you're being discriminated against! I'm sure whichever hospital offers you a job will be lucky to have you!

I just graduated from Nursing School in 2010 and was asked to be the Band Camp Nurse at my alma mater last year. I work full time on a Med/Surg floor at a hospital. At camp, we got a visit from the CT DPH and I was scared out of my mind. I have poured through DPH's website and have tried google searches. DPH told me last year my standing orders weren't enough and were limiting what I could do with my license. I had orders for ibuprofen, kaopektate, tylenol, benadryl and pepto and parents checked off if I could give those meds. So what else do I need? I also had a diabetic kid. I'm wondering what other special orders I need for her? And do those come from her physician or the camp physician? Any suggestions for me? I'm planning on doing camp again this summer. Thanks!
