  1. ICU pay differential?

    YanMinor replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    As a new grad, I've definitely noticed that our critical care nurses make the same amount as med-surg nurses. I don't think that it would be fair to pay one more than the other right out of nursing...

  2. How to stop crying at clinicals?

    YanMinor replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Nursing

    This! I was so lost by the second post of this thread. OP, having edited out most of your post and information, it's hard for us to be of much help. I would agree with what most have said in that it...

  3. New grad - critical care or elsewhere?

    YanMinor replied to NiftyNurse7209's topic in Critical Care

    So, it sounds like you're asking two questions. First, is critical care the right move for you and possible as a new grad? Second, what can be done to improve your chances of getting into critical...

  4. sedation and anesthetics

    YanMinor replied to francoml's topic in Critical Care

    +1 with what Rose-Queen said. If you bolus an induction agent like propofol, you are now practicing anesthesia. Have I seen nurses do it? Maybe. EDIT: Typically, orders for fentanyl and midazolam...

  5. patient requests hand mitts

    YanMinor replied to newone2015's topic in Emergency

    As an aside, it's "neurogenic"

  6. Wear gloves during assessment?

    YanMinor replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    Therapeutic Touch is a technique that is not evidence-based, nor does it require touching, oddly

  7. How many graduates were in your graduating class?

    YanMinor replied to micheleC's topic in General Nursing

    Philadelphia area here. My school graduates between 170-200 each year, evenly split between the accelerated BSN and traditional BSN

  8. How many graduates were in your graduating class?

    YanMinor replied to micheleC's topic in General Nursing

    That otherwise impressive pass rate is mitigated by the 65% graduation rate... How do schools get away with these kinds of

  9. Nursing school in TN, but moving to FL after grad. Help please!

    YanMinor replied to kmac3414's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That is correct. You will apply for licensure in a single state, sit for the test, and get that state's license. THEN, you can apply for reciprocity. Again, if one state is significantly faster at...

  10. Which offer do I keep

    YanMinor replied to tknrosales's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    WOW! $12k is no joke. That come out to about a $6/hr raise, which some nurses work many years to attain. Still - ask yourself where you want to be in five years. Does ED get you there, or Onc? Have...

  11. Wear gloves during assessment?

    YanMinor replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised by so many of the answers here! Having good hand hygiene doesn't excuse you from wearing gloves.... Check your institution's policy. I'm certain that wearing gloves are part of universal...

  12. Photo on your resume?

    YanMinor replied to PapaBearRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Actually, this isn't true. While it's absolutely illegal to discriminate based on race, gender, and other qualities, there is no law forbidding discrimination based on "attractiveness". Many companies...

  13. Areas more likely to hire new grads in ICU

    YanMinor replied to DeepBreath's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's crazy how underrated this is, especially to get a job as a new to practice nurse. As I've said in other posts, me and a few of my best friends recently graduated in December, and we've all found...

  14. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    YanMinor replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I only graduated in December, and three of my best friends are guys I met in the program. All four of us have found jobs in the last three months (all in critical care, no less). It's a bit premature...

  15. Nursing school in TN, but moving to FL after grad. Help please!

    YanMinor replied to kmac3414's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Regardless of which state you get your initial licensure, if you want a job in Florida, you're going to need a Florida license. There are two ways you can go about this. Your first option is to apply...

  16. What has been your favorite clinical experience so far?

    YanMinor replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Students

    SICU. I recently had a patient simultaneously on CRRT, Vent, IABP, epicardial pacing, and 16

  17. How can I be taken more seriously?

    YanMinor replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in General Students

    As a fellow male in the profession, I feel the opposite. It's really messed up, but I feel that male nurses are taken more seriously by default than female nurses

  18. How I had multiple offers as a New Grad RN in a saturated Market

    YanMinor replied to Fitnessgal123's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Having studied and worked there, I can tell you that this isn't the case at

  19. What is your degree in other than nursing?

    YanMinor replied to nija315's topic in General Students

    Same here! BS in Biology with minors in Psyhology, Chemistry, and a concentration in Cognitive Neuroscience. Then a MS in Developmental Cell Biology before deciding to go to nursing school

  20. How Expensive Is Nursing School?

    YanMinor replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the program. I'm starting an ABSN at Penn in June, and the tuition, fees, and estimated living expenses are around $140k for 18

  21. 2013 UPenn BSN/MSN Applicants

    YanMinor replied to kdiem's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Cheep cheep... cheep cheep... What is the sound of one male nursing
