  1. Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice

    green34 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    At least for my school, this book is a godsend when filling out paperwork. I have the South Asian Edition and it's the same as the USA edition, just heck of a lot less in terms of cost and the pages...

  2. 2 Page Resume

    green34 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I can't get it under 2 pages long! I could if I cut out clinical spots. That takes up the most space. I also eliminated past work history simply because it was not healthcare and I've had more...

  3. Don't look at the charts!

    green34 posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    So the way the system is, you can't make major changes when certain people are in the charts. The doctor needed to put orders in and a nurse up on the floor who was not going to receive the patient...

  4. Having a procedure done

    green34 posted a topic in General Students

    Jumping the gun here, but I have pain in my shoulder and a massage therapist/ultrasound tech informed me that it may be a lipoma or an abscess. She said to make an appointment ASAP due to the size. It...

  5. When should I start applying for jobs?

    green34 replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    I applied for a residency now and will apply for jobs around November. I graduate in December. The worst thing is if a job filters you out due to no license number but hue. You become licensed,...

  6. Interview Attire

    green34 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Do people still wear suites for interviews? I'm looking at: http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-c36333/212-collection-pin-striped-suit-separates.jsp...

  7. Clinical PT. info

    green34 replied to ASPEN.88's topic in General Students

    Also, not all paperwork is equal. Some schools require significantly less paperwork than what my school

  8. Where do YOU sit in class?

    green34 replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    Sometimes up front. Sometimes in the back. I don't adhere to a ritual of "that's MY seat." Change is

  9. Interview Attire

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Plus maybe the suit will make me look older. I know when I go to take drug tests, people comment on how young I

  10. TEXT?

    green34 replied to cmurra6745's topic in General Students

    Depends on the instructor. Now I skim chapters but focus on power points. Other instructors test on material they do not cover so I read those chapters multiple

  11. where do you see yourself in 5-10 years

    green34 replied to sourapril's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd say that I would be working on my MSN so I can start working additionally as a clinical instructor and preceptor while continuing to work with X department. Preferably on nights and full-time at...

  12. Clinical PT. info

    green34 replied to ASPEN.88's topic in General Students

    We are supposed to research the day before but most research before we go in since we're afternoon. What it usually is you research basic information then do the careplan after clinical. Like our...

  13. Interview Attire

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, I am not really fashion inclined. I am more of a t-shirt and jeans type of person. When I did my interview, I wore khakis and a blue shirt. It would be an entry-level nursing position. Around...

  14. Hourly Rounding in an ER

    green34 posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    This is a bad idea in my book. First off, they want the PCTs/Nurse Extern/Unit Clerks/Phlebs/Paramedics do hourly roundings. First off, the unit clerks should not be doing the hourly roundings unless...

  15. Blood cultures

    green34 replied to Belle2013's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well, I don't have a written policy but I can probably find one for you when I go back to work. The ER has stricter rules due to high number of contaminated cultures we've had recently. Basically, we...

  16. Hourly Rounding in an ER

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Are you on the floor or in the ER? Also, with my hospital there is no mention of rotating it between RNs and ancillary staff, just "one person will do it each hour." Most of the other hospitals do...

  17. Is it worth it going to a private school for BSN?

    green34 replied to coolinbysound's topic in General Students

    Yes, but you are considering going to the other school and then doing an accelerated BSN. You may not get financial aid for the accelerated

  18. How Long Until Graduation?

    green34 replied to RN-BSNheather's topic in General Students

    Not sure the exact number. Around 80

  19. Hourly Rounding in an ER

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Ours varies from one to four to one to six. Usually quickcare and night time it's one to six. The charge nurse in theory does not take patients but they do to help with ratios or move patients along....

  21. Resume, thoughts?

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I disagree and I think it adds a bit too much words into it. I think that most managers would know that AHA stands for American Heart Association. As for suggesting that I should put in the Ohio...

  22. Resume, thoughts?

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, it's basically a residency program where you will be placed into whatever dept has openings. So I can't tailor it into a specific location like an ER or OB. The job description is very vague in...

  23. Saw a nurse yelling at a patient in ICU

    green34 replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When I talk louder, I drop my tone becuse that's easier for them to hear. If I spoke high pitch, they still would t hear

  25. Is it worth it going to a private school for BSN?

    green34 replied to coolinbysound's topic in General Students

    What other options do you have? I would avoid private school loans in my opinion, it can be too much. Having seen my sister bury herself up with debt, I suggest people avoid it. One thing that I am...
