    mhy12784 replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in General Nursing

    The overwhelming majority of people who get TB never get active TB. And judging from your comments im presuming you havent had a culture done

  2. Worked 24 hours/3 consecutive 8hr shifts

    mhy12784 replied to marcjuico's topic in General Nursing

    Did you also read that 24 hours is the most you can work in a day

  3. Worked 24 hours/3 consecutive 8hr shifts

    mhy12784 replied to marcjuico's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is an excellent opportunity for you to step up in a leadership role though, and help your facility create a policy addressing this relatively serious issue. To prevent problems like this...

  4. Worked 24 hours/3 consecutive 8hr shifts

    mhy12784 replied to marcjuico's topic in General Nursing

  6. Going to school: question for nurses

    mhy12784 replied to Jesshallmark's topic in Nursing Career

    Itll depend on the hospital, but most hospitals ive seen either hire you for the day shift (where you work days) and nights where you work nights. I havent seen anything where they mix and match,...

  7. Given a warning

    mhy12784 replied to canche's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have no idea what you said and how you said it. But id be willing to bet that how you said it was the issue, not the fact that you didnt get it for her Hospitals are ALL about customer service. Im...

  8. Malpractice for an Active RN, student?

    mhy12784 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So for graduate school I need malpratice insurance for a "student", but most of the websites (ie NSO) only have malpractice for students who are NOT RNs, or NP students. Anyone know where/what/how how...

  9. Non Clinical DNP degree ?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of opprotunites are there for non clinical DNPs ? Like what would be the advantage in me being a DNP in leadership vs an MSN in leadership or admin or something

  10. Non Clinical DNP degree ?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    Well its catered to management and administrative. I wouldn't plan on doing things unrelated to it. It just sounds

  11. further education or getting experience

    mhy12784 replied to Ranik's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I believe that BSN to DNP is not available in New York State (yet?). They do have them around the country (ive seen a few schools in CT with them). Hospital jobs are extremely difficult to get without...

  12. further education or getting experience

    mhy12784 replied to Ranik's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Absolutely get a job, start applying immediately. I graduated from Stony brook last year (also bsn) people who graduated with me got hired got hired between now and July. Most jobs will pay for a...

  13. ideas needed

    mhy12784 replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    Im not exactly a fountain of ideas, but I think the amount of students in your class makes a HUGE difference. If youre graduating with 20 others, vs 200 others id expect the ideas to be astronomically...

  14. What will happen with all of the ASN programs now BSN is the norm?

    mhy12784 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Even if BSNs were the norm, people still need to get associates degrees before they can get a bachelors. However its pretty obvious that ASN programs are going to die down and get reduced over the...

  17. BA in physics, 2+ years of med school, interested in nursing.

    mhy12784 replied to Lint Davidson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just because you were premed I would imagine you might also want to look into PA programs. Since thats more the medical tree (instead of the nursing tree) Id definitely look into nursing too, just see...

  18. Help!!! How can an experienced med/surg nurse get a job?

    mhy12784 replied to Cathyd241's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    New grads definitely arent "landing jobs all the time" Its extraordinarily difficult for a new grad nurse to land a job in MANY areas of the country. And if they have an associates degree, forget...

  19. Advanced degree and RNFA

    mhy12784 replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Operating Room

    Well theres a whole lot of advanced degrees that arent for clinical (education leadership admin informatics etc) which I dont see contributing very much at all for PURELY being an RNFA. And a CRNA is...

  20. New nurse with no experience.

    mhy12784 replied to macuser.girl's topic in New York Nursing

  21. Have bad attitude- RN to BSN programs

    mhy12784 replied to anon456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Im sorry you feel that way. Continuing education is absolutely critical for all (real) medical professions. Now ill concede that an RN > BSN program is probably not going to cover the most...

  22. New grad offered position, HR has yet to contact me... Starting to worry

    mhy12784 replied to goldpk's topic in Nursing Career

  23. What can I do to be more competitive for Stony Brooks accelerated program?

    mhy12784 replied to KS01's topic in New York Nursing

    If I was in your situation, and Molloy is the only school that I got accepted into then yes (unless youre talking about applying to Molloy in the future, then I would apply everywhere) I would NOT put...

  24. What can I do to be more competitive for Stony Brooks accelerated program?

    mhy12784 replied to KS01's topic in New York Nursing

    Nope So getting a associates in nursing would be a poor use of your time. Do what you can to get into Stony Brook because its a great program and youll enjoy it, but it would be a huge mistake to not...

  25. What can I do to be more competitive for Stony Brooks accelerated program?

    mhy12784 replied to KS01's topic in New York Nursing

    bad idea Suffolk is also very competitive, but its an associates program. You wont get a job with an associates degree in nursing, and will have to get a BSN anyway. Whatever you ultimately do, I...
