  1. california license by endorsement

    Rebekulous replied to bluebeetle7's topic in California Nursing

    That kind of makes sense, if IN is quick at getting you your ATT. If that's the case, I vote for taking NCLEX as soon as you can before you start forgetting stuff. However, I don't think you can apply...

  2. california license by endorsement

    Rebekulous replied to bluebeetle7's topic in California Nursing

    Is there a reason you're applying in Indiana first? If you know you're going to CA, it would be faster to just apply there

  3. University of Utah

    Rebekulous replied to Justlikeyou's topic in General Nursing

    I just saw this...4.5 years

  4. Moving to California?

    Rebekulous replied to skimille12's topic in California Nursing

    I just moved to CA from UT this summer. I went to the U for nursing school, and CA gave me no grief about any of my classes. (I was nervous about a couple of the requirements as well.) It took a...

  5. IVs and Tattoos

    Rebekulous replied to memyers's topic in General Students

    Feel for your veins, don't try to just see them. I'll usually also mark the skin once I find one, with a pen/sharpie, so that even after I clean the site I know where that vein is (since you should be...

  6. ONS chemo certificate

    Rebekulous replied to raayoub's topic in Oncology

    The ONS Chemo Certificate and the OCN are two totally different things. The chemo course will help you get CNEs to qualify for the OCN exam, but that's really the only connection. No one here will...

  7. Are nurses in CA glad they have a safe staffing law?

    Rebekulous replied to RN94's topic in California Nursing

    I'm loving the switch, but I'm also still in the "honeymoon" period, because it's only been a couple of months. Ask me again in a year Utah was not as bad as some of the other places I've read about...

  8. Which specialty forum is "telemetry?"

    Rebekulous replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Specialties

    What specialty forum depends on what kind of PCU it is. Cardiac, Surgical, Oncology, Stroke,

  9. Are nurses in CA glad they have a safe staffing law?

    Rebekulous replied to RN94's topic in California Nursing

    I moved to California from Utah (with no mandated ratios). So far, I'm loving how this is set up. I never have to worry about getting more than the 4 oncology/tele patients I'm supposed to

  10. Nursing salary in Salt lake city and surrounding areas

    Rebekulous replied to tmhale's topic in General Nursing

    Intermountain and the U will probably be the highest paying in SLC. At a year's experience I think I was making $25/hr? But I think both groups have done multiple market adjustments since then, so I...

  11. California New Grad taking job out of state, what are my chances of getting back to CA?

    Rebekulous replied to sunflow3rz's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others. Stay a year or two in AZ, and you'll be able to come back as an experienced nurse. Less than that and people won't want to hire you because you haven't hit that "one year"...

  12. U of U CCI Feb 2019

    Rebekulous replied to gingernursegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work there, and from what I heard the CCI is pretty competitive. You'll be competing with other new grads as well as acute care nurses who want to move to ICU. Good

  13. Nursing student interested in oncology

    Rebekulous replied to Steve627's topic in Oncology

    I agree, ONS is a good resource. Students membership is free, and there are a bunch of free CNEs for

  14. NEW grad please review my resume and advice

    Rebekulous replied to PJishere's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you're right about the resume -- it's repetative, and doesn't show who "you" are in a way that would make me want to interview you. I'm a big believer in personalizing resumes to the job...

  15. New Grad Job market in massachusetts- how long should I keep looking?

    Rebekulous replied to pchoi1121's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know about Boston specifically, but in general it can sometimes take months to hear back from HR about jobs. This year I applied for jobs out-of-state due to moving for my husband's schooling....

  16. Mandatory Uniforms

    Rebekulous replied to StudentRNmt's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Having a set uniform made it really easy to decide what to wear in the morning, and everything matched no matter what I grabbed. It also made it easy to know who did what when I floated to other units...

  17. Advice about nursing stress

    Rebekulous replied to Briannanala's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you're burnt out. As far as the unexpected death, I've had the same experience. The patient showed up in my dreams for weeks, and I had a hard time going back to work. Eventually that...

  18. Forced resignation?

    Rebekulous replied to ThatBear's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Neuro patients have a lot going on, and learning time management is always hard at the beginning. I would recommend asking the nurses you work with what they do to help get all their charting done....

  19. New grad nurse and feel so lost!?

    Rebekulous replied to ns808's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you're actually doing ok. Taking all 4 patients after only 3 weeks is pretty impressive to me. (I'm going through orientation for a new job right now, and I just took 4 pts at the end...

  20. 2 full-time jobs?

    Rebekulous replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about the Parent PLUS loans, but the Stafford Loans will qualify. You should also look into the Nurse Corps Loan Repayment program. You have to work at a facility that meets certain...

  21. New to night shift....any advice?

    Rebekulous replied to MrsMwenja_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You should definitely talk to your doctor. For me, melatonin didn't work, and the lunesta helped with the specific sleep issues I was having. I've never taken ambien, so I can't really compare the...

  22. 2 full-time jobs?

    Rebekulous replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

    The pp all have good suggestions. If any of your loans are Federal loans, you can do an income-based repayment plan. For me, that cut my payments to a third of what they would be otherwise. There are...

  23. What to do?? A whole BOX of crazy!!!

    Rebekulous replied to prettywishes's topic in General Nursing

    I would say report her, and get out of there. Some of the stuff she is doing is against the law. Where are your friends applying? Could you use those connections to get an LPN job that will work with...

  24. Worried First Day of Clinical

    Rebekulous replied to bt123's topic in General Students

    As a student you can administer meds under the supervision of a licensed nurse. So even though the nurse was newer, she still was there supervising you. As you go on in clinicals you will hopefully be...

  25. Struggling with report

    Rebekulous replied to nursemike630's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Giving report takes some time to learn and feel confident. Here's what I do: - When I look up my patients, I write down: name, age/gender, admit date, code status, allergies. Then I look up meds and...
