  1. question about public health

    Jayla replied to futurenursingstudent's topic in Public, Community Health

    As far as I know, only if you have a 4 year degree in something else, or many years experiences as a registered nurse. You can always work for some hospital and get THEM to pay for you to finish your...

  2. Interview on Mon

    Jayla replied to anc33's topic in Public, Community Health

    I just got hired by the local health department as a PHN. I loved my community health rotation in school, and knew that's what I wanted to do when I graduated. Unfortunately, the hiring process was...

  3. Got the job....

    Jayla replied to anc33's topic in Public, Community Health

    Since you're asking for advice... We've pretty much had the same experience, right? Well, I took the PHN position; in fact, I quit the med/surg job before I even new for sure that I would get the PHN...

  4. Aaaaaaaaaagh!!!!!

    Jayla replied to studentNY's topic in General Nursing

    Your poor, poor daughter! I felt like I was reading about myself at that age while I was reading your post. I can completely empathize. When I started menstruating, at age 11, I too had horrible pain...

  5. waiting for nclex results

    Jayla replied to molo70's topic in General Nursing

    Are you checking the board of nursing site? THat's where I initially found out I passed. They can't find your results? What does that mean??? Anyway, I'm sure you passed. In my experience, and...

  6. Dissappointed-

    Jayla replied to LoriT's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Truth be told, there is a PCP shortage in far too many rural and inner city areas of this country. That INCLUDES NPs and PAs. So, if you are flexible and willing to relocate, you shouldn't have any...

  7. Should I stay on Med/Surg?

    Jayla replied to Mommy/Grandma's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't think there is any one position that defines what a nurse is supposed to be. I am in the same situation as you! As a recent grad, I just quit my med/surg job at a nearby hospital. I...

  8. Interview on Mon

    Jayla replied to anc33's topic in Public, Community Health

    Hi Allie! Considering how similar our situation is (from previous postings), you'll get the job! I interview with the Balto County PHD about 3 weeks ago, and yesterday I was scheduled for my...

  9. Graduating in May- need help with resume

    Jayla replied to amheckman76's topic in Nursing Career

    Check out this link: http://www.son.jhmi.edu/student_resources/career/resources.asp There are lots of good resources for resume writing here, and a few good examples of resumes (including how to list...

  10. NON-Patient Care Employment for new R.N.s

    Jayla replied to California-O.T.'s topic in Nursing Career

    Just after graduation (recently) I was offered a research position at a world-renowned institution...no patient care exp required! Also, you could work in case management through a public health...

    Jayla replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in General Nursing

    I recently went to Guatemala with a group called Amerispan and did a medical spanish immersion program. It included spanish classes, homestay with a family, and one week of volunteering in a clinical...

  12. Accurate labs???

    Jayla posted a topic in General Nursing

    Here's my question: a pt has fluids (let's say, NS @ 80 cc/hr) going into a central or PICC line. RNs on this unit can draw blood from either of the above lines. If the blood is being drawn to...

  14. Recommended reading

    Jayla replied to wannabenursetx's topic in General Nursing

    A really wonderful movie that makes me proud to be a nurse is "Wit". It's kind of depressing, though, so grab the kleenex. It's a movie based on the perspective of a woman dying of cancer. Very...

  15. Essential Skills~Input from ALL Nurses!!!

    Jayla replied to msnursealot's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone that says time management is crucial. My first preceptor was incredible at time management. I still use the hourly patient-grid that she introduced me to, and on it I write...

  16. Where do you belong?

    Jayla posted a topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad, I was just wondering what organizations/associations/societies people have joined and found useful? I have never been much of a "joiner" and don't even belong to the ANA:imbar (yes, I...

  17. Has anyone read this book? "Your First Year as a Nurse"

    Jayla replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

    I did look at "your first year..." and it seemed very common sense to me. Not worth $20, in my opinion. Instead, I did buy "Your career in nursing," by Annette T. Vallano, and I find it to be very...

  18. Do nurses really eat their young?

    Jayla replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    There are some wonderful, helpful opinions here. THank you to all who've responded! Just for the record, I want to say that in my original post, there was no mention of the AGE of these nurses. I...

  19. Medical Programs for PDA

    Jayla replied to KVlivin4JC's topic in General Nursing

    I really like epocrates. It is a great drug reference and includes herbs and other alternative meds. When you subscribe you also get a feature called "medmath" that has every possible formula you may...

  20. What other careers did you consider before nursing?

    Jayla replied to SNURSEG_2B's topic in General Nursing

    My first degree was in Anthropology. Very interesting...not too practical. So, I decided to go back to school and considered medical school. But, after lots of reasearch and thinking, I decided that...

  21. Bullying in Nursing? Did I make the right decision?

    Jayla replied to cedat's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I'm the one who started the "eat their young" thread...sorry! I'm not trying to scare anyone away! My suggestion: work somewhere as a nurse extern or CNA and get a good feel for whether or not...

  22. Do nurses really eat their young?

    Jayla replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    Would it be innapropriate to talk to the HR nurse who hired me to see if there is another position in the same organization? I havn't talked to my manager yet about how unhappy I am, but she hasn't...

  23. New, looking to talk with NPs

    Jayla replied to Roaen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi MUSE42, I just finished the BSN portion at Hopkins, and was accepted into the direct entry program. I took a leave of absence this year and will go on for my master's next year (FNP). Many...

  24. Do nurses really eat their young?

    Jayla replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    So, do you recommend I talk to my manager, or keep my mouth shut and just deal with it? I'm sure the managers are aware of how dysfunctional the unit is...the more pleasant nurses on the unit tell me...

  25. Community Health Nurse

    Jayla replied to kukitty's topic in Nursing Career

    Hello! I just finished my BSN, which was my second degree. I love public health, and did my final leadership rotation (basically a full time job) with the Baltimore County Public Health Department....
