I'm looking to change specialty from medical-surgical to chronic dialysis. I have almost 2 years of experience on a urology/nephrology floor. How much is the starting pay with experience for Davita or Fresenius? Thanks
I began my career as an RN on a med-surg floor, not quite a year ago, because I wanted to get a "good" foundation. And I can truly say, there are many days I rethink my decision. I work on a med-surg unit that also care for oncology and hospice patie...
I too am a new grad. I began working on a med-surg unit in April and let's just say we have a love/hate relationship. Anywho... Like me, I know many new grads experience anxiety and have many questions that go unanswered. I'm hoping to shed some ligh...
What are some projects that your unit-based council has initiated or thought about initiating?
Also, I am trying to come up with some ideas for the bulletin board in the break room help, please!
I'm a new grad working on a med-surg floor and am looking for good reference books. Books for new nurses, med-surg disease/conditions, procedures, and lab values. Any suggestions. I'm just trying to connect the dots.
I am sorry that you didn't have success with your first go around with NCLEX, but use this to your advantage. You are now familiar with the test and the complexity of its questions. I graduated in December 2014, and instead of hurrying to take my tes...
I recently graduated nursing school and I'm curious if anyone has taken the and passed the NCLEX without taking a review class. If so, what did you do? Im considering using NCSBN. Has anyone tried this review only with NCLEX prep books?
I tested on March 12 at 10 am. This is what helped me to prepare. I used NCSBN and Saunders Comprehensive Review for NCLEX. I studied off and on for about 5 weeks. In the beginning, I read through Saunders and highlighted the important content and an...
Just like some of you, I am having difficulty writing my resume. I don't have any employment experience in a clinical setting, which has caused me to hit a brick wall. I'm curious as to how I can make my resume stick out without the employment experi...
I have read numerous posts from people who said their final semester was the most difficult. I attend a local technical college, and I've heard chatter from fellow students that the last semester is fairy simple (if there is a such thing in nursing s...
I am graduating an ADN program in December of this year and I'm really hoping to land a job at the Children's Hospital of Atlanta (CHOA), but I don't have any experience. Any advice? What can I do to standout? Anyone a part of their program as a New...
I remember my very first week of nursing school. I felt depressed and discombobulated. And let's not talk about my first day of clinicals. I felt life I wanted to cry. When I got home, I remember sitting on the couch and saying to my mom, "I don't t...
Now, that it's summer and I have time to buckle down on learning my meds, I'm hoping to find any type of source I could use to help me learn commonly prescribed meds...in the ER and med surg. I'm hoping to find the classification, as well the illnes...
