You say your hospital has plenty of developmentally appropriate positioning tools, but you still just swaddle them? I'm lost!

At my main job we verify rate, volume infused, and access site condition every hour. Now making sure everybody is actually looking at their pump and not just typing stuff in is a task on its own... We also use buretrols which should prevent fluid ove...

It's definitely a hard task to keep them from staring at the monitor and not reading their baby's cues! We'll turn a monitor so the parents can't see it for a baby who's been bradying w/ feeds to see if they are able to pick it up by just watching fo...

Are there that many places that have 4 baby assignments? I've only known of one hospital in my area, and that's just in their transitional nursery.

nicu level - IV private patient rooms - only 2 iso rooms, unit separated into bays number at bedside - we literally have no limit...crazy who can visit - 4 people selected by parents without them there, anybody else outside of that with parents (rest...

I'm a fan of writing things down, myself, but I don't hold it against anybody who chooses not to. But it's when you not only do not write things down, but also don't then thoroughly check the orders that bothers me. What do you mean you didn't know w...

Left NICU off the list!

I don't think much has changed. I had the same experience in nursing school just a few years ago, and the dad was even studying to be a nurse himself!! Cultural stuff will always show up, which is what this case was! There are also just regular dads ...

I know this is a dead thread, but @Inori is dead wrong. 1-page resumes are no longer the norm. If you have experience in anything (i.e. if you were a second-degree student w/ a work history showcasing various skill sets) then of course include them! ...

I'm wondering if you need to include all that jazz about your student nurse experiences... My thoughts are that they know where you went to school, and accredited programs will all expose you to the different specialties of nursing. You're fine to in...

I'm in school now and everybody has access to a phone in our hospital. Looks like an iphone - very well may be - with an app on it for communication with all providers, nurses, PT/OT/RT, etc. If you have your own smart phone you just get the all your...

I'm also in for Fall :) Congrats everyone!

I just got an email for the Accepted Students Day, but still haven't gotten a phone call about being accepted... Think it's a mistake or just a chance out of order procedure?? I just had my phone interview last week on Tuesday..

Hey there, seems like your program had different dates. You applied for the pediatric CNS full time program with a fall 2014 start date. This thread is the BSN/MSN cohort starting summer 2014

Hey there, you sure you applied for this cohort? I think most of us have already had our interviews and heard back... School starts in June!

I don't think you've got the wrong impression of the site. People just don't like repeating themselves or stating the obvious in general...

Sorry to kill it for you, but since there are 3 schools tied for 1st, UCSF is #4! Best Nursing Programs | Top Nursing Schools | US News Best Graduate Schools

Great info cchun, thanks for helping us out! I'm another California kid (Bay Area) and got accepted for the BSN/MSN FNP program. Super excited about it, but still waiting to hear back from a couple of other programs before announcing the news to anyb...

My interviewer emailed me about rescheduling. Had a conflict last night with clinicals! Tonight it is!

Shucks...well, hopefully whenever they reschedule for is convenient for us!

Alas, I sit here waiting for my phone interview which was supposed to be at 7:15 PST. Not sure what to think of it, but I'm here and ready!

I know it's kind of cheating, but my interview is in the evening PST on Monday, so if anybody has any tips after their interview don't feel bad just dropping them off in this here forum :-P

Yea, not quite sure what kind of experience people are presenting as these are supposed to be "career changes," right? Anyways, glad that my letter said I "clearly meet the requirements for consideration" but that there were just not enough spots... ...

Also got my rejection today...fingers crossed that my U Penn interview goes well!!

Hey Ames, you're right about that being the only step: responding to the email with your time availability. I'd go ahead and call F this afternoon if you still haven't heard anything.
