Does anyone have an idea what the pharm exam is like at LIJ? Any tips on how to prepare?

Just be careful with that program. That school has no accreditation by the nursing association.

For your example of giving o.4ml of dilaudid, I found it easy to use a 1ml syringe for drawing up the medication. Prior to administration I would flush the IV with about 5ml NS from a prefilled syringe, administer the IVP, then flush with another 5ml...

Me personally, i feel like starting out in med-surg is a good move. You get to see many different illnesses and you learn how to assess each condition, whereas your not subjected to just one category such as L and D. I feel that once you get the basi...

As a med-surg nurse myself. Its really important to have a sheet where you can write down the times that things need to be done, for example the times you have to give your meds or do certain treatments and checks on patients. I go in about 30 minute...

Im on 6 Tower!! lol Good luck to you too!!

I have a BSN, and I am so sorry you had that experience at the job fair. They are very picky with hiring nurses who have an associates. I know a few people who were hired with an associates, but they were graduating with a BSN within a small amount o...

I am looking in to purchasing a pair of Dansko's, I hear they are a little pricey, but definitely worth the money. I currently work in a doctor's office, but I will be starting my night shifts in the hospital within the next 2 weeks so I am concerned...

I currently work in a gastroenterology office and I work very closely with the MD who performs the procedures, does the consults with the pts, etc. I myself get consent for the procedure, I explain the preparation to them as well, even though the phy...

I personally feel like many people here said, as long as the tattoos are offensive or very large in visible places then they are acceptable. I myself have four tattoos but I have them in places that can be covered. I want a tattoo on the inside of my...

The job market in Atlanta, GA isn't quite bad. I am an RN in NY and I applied for a position one evening for a hospital in GA and the next morning I got a call from the hospital, I did a phone interview that went phenomenal and they wanted me to come...

Ohh okay. Not to mention they give you training and orientation based on their hospital values and missions. The only logical reasoning I can get out of the refresher course is that they want you to have "updated" information and knowledge, not that ...

What hospital did you interview for?

Yeah, I work very closely with both doctors in the office, so I can imagine it would be a tough transition to not have them on call when I need them. Thank you for your response :-)

I am currently employed in a doctors office of internal/gastroenterology medicine. I do phlebotomy, EKGs, drug screening, physicals, spirometry, etc. I recently got a job in a hospital as a night shift staff nurse, I am looking for some helpful tips ...

I completely agree! I deactivated my facebook recently, it causes too many problems and it seems as though many people use it to vent their problems that is no concern to other people.

It is VERY difficult getting a job even with a BSN. I graduated last may with my BSN and just got a job at a hospital I start in 2 weeks. Persistence is the key...good luck to those who are searching!

I work in a doctors office they supply them there. But when I was doing my clinical rotations I would use the same purple wipes you are talking about LOL.

No prob. Good luck

No Problem! Anything I can do to help the next person, I've been in your position and I know what it is like job hunting. Nassau University Medical Center, if you go to the human resources dept they will accept your resume unlike most places will tel...

Ohh Okay. Have you tried NUMC? Its located on Hempstead Turnkpike not too far from Queens. They accept hard copy resumes. I had an interview there back in October right before hurricane sandy and i know they will be hiring soon because the nurses tha...
