  2. ARNP vs FNP

    Hello I am curious to know the difference between these two and what types of job settings they work in. I am trying to think of the pros/cons. For FNP don't they typically work out in the community like at doctor's offices and cvs/care spots? I do l...
  3. didn't call about anticoagulation

    I'm in my 7th month of being a new nurse and I love my floor. I've always had support and never have any issues and I couldn't be happier. Today I was floated to another floor for the first time ever. It was extremely chaotic and I had 4 patients inc...
  4. didn't call about anticoagulation

    Update: I never heard anything more from this unit or about this situation from that unit or my own. I had come into work and was floated to that unit not by choice just for that day. I honestly hope I never float again. The responsibilities and bei...

  7. Hospital interview

    Well I spoke too soon on my last post! I got a call Friday evening at 530pm from the nursing manager and was asked to come in for an interview at 10am Monday. I told her I had class at that time so she said what about 11 or what would work for you? I...
  8. Hospital interview

    Didn't hear anything today (the day after). I didn't even think of it... But should I email the nurse manager thanking her for letting me come in to interview with staff and for giving me a tour of the facility? Is it too late now? I could send it fi...

  10. Can't get a job in the hospital, even with experience

    Good advice! I also just recently remade my resume and have more keywords like that. I bet I could put even more because I didn't include I & O or hoyer lift. Well I got all my references in so now I am just waiting to hear about the central serv...
  11. Can't get a job in the hospital, even with experience

    Haha good point! I am going to try my best. I was able to contact a manager I had many years ago in a non health field. And I am going to ask my clinical instructor tomorrow when I go to clinicals. Hopefully that it sufficient. I feel the same way a...
  12. Is it possible to refuse to care for a patient?

    I know that sounds bad. But I work in a long term care facility and we have a patient who has been known to leave needles in the bed, tray, or wherever else. No one has any idea where they get them. The last time this person was in the facility a few...
  13. I am a new nursing student and I am new to a lot of information especially regarding multi drug resistant organisms. I've really thought about it because I have a situation coming up that I am not sure about that involves my own "family". Right now I...

  15. Contact precautions

    I am currently a nursing student and have been a CNA for six months. As I go through school I am learning about things I did not know about a CNA regarding contact precautions. I know that my long term care facility does put a sign up on the door say...
  16. Is this common practice in LTC/Hospitals?

    I am a CNA at a LTC facility and we have a lot of residents that are total care and wear diapers. A lot of them have chronic medical problems, honestly I have no idea what. I know a lot have MRSA, some with VRE, lots of kidney problems, even an HIV p...

    I have a question about immunizations for the program and for personal knowledge. Apparently I had a hepatitis B vaccine adolescent 2 dose vaccine back in 99. I have not submitted it for compliance yet so do you think that will be approved? Also is t...
  21. Immunizations

    Yeah my program you can actually decline. I just want to make sure I'm protected. I may have to get the titer done but I can't afford anything right now that I don't 100% need. I meet to pay for the varicella titer bc that is for sure required.
  22. UCF Concurrent SSC/VCC Fall 2013

    I vote for a group :) I think the functionality would be better plus it would be private. On pages you really can't see what others post but on groups if someone besides the creator posts it will show up in the news feed of members so a question coul...
