  1. New Grad positions at UMMS

    amber1142 replied to nurse1day's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I did. I called the unit manager directly and asked for a share day. From there we set up an interview. Human resources is very busy and never called me back until after I was offered the

  2. Shut off at 75

    amber1142 replied to amber1142's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! That is terrific news. I think the cake is a good idea; if I pass I'm going to bake me something huge and chocolate. Maybe I'll try the chocolate crock pot fudge creation and...

  3. Shut off at 75

    amber1142 replied to amber1142's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had 6-7 "choose all that apply" questions; I couldn't believe it. I don't usually do well on them. I had a lot of prioritizing questions and lots of teaching questions- not just patient teaching,...

  4. What kind of PDA?

    amber1142 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if this has been asked and answered before. I've seen a couple of people mention their PDAs or Palms. I know nothing about them. Who has any recommendations on what kind to get, how much...

  5. Take NCLEX test anywhere?

    amber1142 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I finally got my ATT yesterday, but there are no test appointments available anywhere in Maryland until mid-July. Someone told me I could take the test in Washington D.C. where they have sooner...

  6. Take NCLEX test anywhere?

    amber1142 replied to amber1142's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you, both. I'm really exited and relieved that I don't have to wait until

  7. What squicks you out?

    amber1142 replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously I don't especially love any fluids, but respiratory secretions and vomit are the ones that really make me gag. Give me poop over puke any day. Edit: Come to think of it, NG suction...

  8. What kind of PDA?

    amber1142 replied to amber1142's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what to make of that, but thanks for telling me about the Palm. The thing with these kinds of *discussion* boards is that new people will come in all the time. Yes, I could do a google...

  9. For Those With Children...

    amber1142 replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Nursing

    I started my nursing prereqs when my kids were 1 and 2 and continued through my third pregnancy, then I took a break for a while. I took my last prereq when my fourth child was a baby and entered...

  10. Serving the doctors?

    amber1142 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was reading the "If only for one day" thread, and a few people mentioned how they'd like to tell off doc's who wanted them to put gel on their fingers or find stuff in drawers, etc. Is this part of...

  11. Serving the doctors?

    amber1142 replied to amber1142's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well sure... but does it work both ways? If you were changing a dressing, would you ask a doctor to rummage through a drawer so you didn't have to break sterile technique? or if you were giving an...

  13. Nurshing Math Calculations

    amber1142 replied to Becky32668's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First look at what the actual question is (how many microdrops/minute?) That will be where you begin to set up the equations. Set up your problem starting with what facts you know from what they...

  16. male labor and delivery nurses

    amber1142 replied to booluvstrains's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You should absolutely try for what you want. If you are a nurse, you are qualified, and being refused on the basis of your gender is likely to be illegal discrimination. Anyway, how many OBs are...

  17. a rant (pts come to hospital for the littlest of things)

    amber1142 replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I feel that way when I see a woman who is 2-cm dilated, early labor, carrying on about the PAIN. I had all four of mine naturally, and yeah, it hurt, but I survived (more than survived, I TRIUMPHED)....

  18. Waiting for ATT

    amber1142 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi everyone, I'm a new grad, soon to be R.N. (I hope!). Graduation day was May 20, and I am *still* waiting for my ATT. I'm getting really agitated as I read about more and more of you taking and...
