    YorkieMomRN replied to Kirstenj578's topic in Florida Nursing

    Financial aid for a Bachelor's degree is up to 120 hours for Bright Futures, and I think 112 for Pell Grant. I might be off on my numbers, but typically these students are eligible for an appeal that...

  2. Duke New Grad / SNIP 2013

    YorkieMomRN replied to ExploreDreamDiscover's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    YorkieMomRN replied to ExploreDreamDiscover's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    YorkieMomRN replied to melmacrn's topic in Emergency

  8. The sight of blood makes me pass out.

    YorkieMomRN replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I seem to say that to myself every day, but I still keep coming back. I must be a glutton for punishment! Now I have the heebie

  9. Sick of 12s, but want a challenging job

    YorkieMomRN replied to mstacer's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Some hospitals still have 8 hours shifts (i.e., 0700-1500) that might work for you. Consider talking to your manager first, and if not, start looking around for hospitals in your area that might do...

  10. Suggestions please, New grad asking for help

    YorkieMomRN replied to Just and R.N's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  12. new graduate nurse taking TNCC ?

    YorkieMomRN replied to Pusheen's topic in Emergency

    I believe the ENA has a lateral violence packet that can be downloaded. Perhaps consider implementing this in your

  14. New Graduates who don't welcome feedback

    YorkieMomRN replied to Majain2013's topic in Emergency

    I think taking a step back, letting them sink or swim (without risking patient safety) is the idea here. When they aren't being a team player and too busy in their phones or whatever (regardless of...

  15. ACLS - Nursing Student

    YorkieMomRN replied to thelittledoe's topic in Emergency

    My BSN program had a critical care class that offered extra credit for taking ACLS and gave a discount for students wanting to take it. I figured it couldn't hurt me and wasn't terribly expensive....

  17. being a pregnant nurse in the ED?

    YorkieMomRN replied to BrooklynRN11201's topic in Emergency

    I think the most important thing to remember is to not EXPECT your coworkers to pick up your slack and to be appreciative of it and not make up excuses to sit around. I shadowed in the emergency room...
