I work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I usually have 6 to 7 points each day. That is considered full time. If I see patients Monday-Thursday I get PRN pay per visit. I also get bonuses from time to time. We have a surgeon that orders 8 hr antibiotics ...

My employer uses an app called Office Line. When I make a call using the app from my cell phone our office number is displayed on their caller ID. It works 99% of the time. I love it!

I have worked in Home Health for about four years. I made a cheat sheet when I first started that was about five pages long. Over time I have streamlined my cheat sheet, and even though I can now do an Oasis with my eyes closed I use the sheet for ev...

I work in a large OR (24 rooms). We have had an influx of new and traveling techs and RNs recently. Most of our employees have never worked anywhere else. There have been some heated discussions about gowning and gloving. My question: Is it acceptabl...

Some open their gown on a prep table then open a pair of gloves on top. The towel is picked up first, slid out from in between the gloves and the gown, then the gown is picked up from the edge and the gloves slide off onto the sterile wrapper. Others...

I was reading through our black book last week and came across Anonymous. I almost peed myself.

Our pumps have removable channels. Each pump can control up to four channels. We run everything through the pump. LR@125 is always the mainline. Pit gets a channel and runs into the mainline closest to the vein. Antibiotics run from a secondary above...

Yes, but not the regular stuff. We use Acid Jelly. I guess I should add that RN's don't insert in our state either, we assist the Residents.

I'm not really sure what GOD has to do with, but since you are the only person that responded to my post, thanks.

Hello! I will be graduating from an ADN program in June. A symposium project will be 30% of our grade. My clinical group was assigned the topic of Health Care Organizations and the Nurse. My portion of the presentation will be about how outside organ...

I'll be graduating from an ADN program in June. I applied for a position in LDRP in December and I was hired in February (actually might have been January, it's all a blur ). I start June 27th! I just finished up clinicals in MCN today in the hospi...

Sorry! I thought you meant missing school! Good luck with everything! Lisa

In my program clinicals are mandatory! We are not allowed to miss any time at all. If we have a major crisis (as in a death in the immediate family, or projectile vomiting and explosive diarrhea at the same time) we have to make up the time we missed...

I will be graduating in June from an ADN program. I have my first job interview on Wednesday for a position in Maternity. This position is the reason I went to nursing school. I was feeling great about the interview until today. My son was in the hos...

I agree 100% that it is how you present yourself, but it doesn't hurt to have an idea of what you'll be asked so you can actually speak without fumbling for words. I am usually very laid back and I am not shy at all. I function quite well until I fee...

She asked me: Why I want to work in LDRP. What I would do/how I would feel if I got to work (as a unit clerk) and the person before me did not finish everything they should have. How I handle co-workers that treat me crappy. And what she called the "...

:w00t: I just wanted to let you all know that I got the job! I'm so happy!:roll I start August 6th! Now all I have to do is graduate!:chuckle

Any money that is awarded to you will go to your school first to pay your tuition and any other costs you might have incurred (books and supplies from the book store). After the school takes their share they will send you a check. You can use that mo...

I was wondering if anyone here could post some links to websites with examples of letters of intent for nursing positions, or give me some exmaples as to what they should contain. I was at work (unit clerk) going through job listings and saw an openi...

Being a unit clerk is pretty easy. I answer the phone, answer the patients call bells and notify the nurses or aids of their needs, put orders in the computer, make sure the neccessary paperwork is stocked for the nurses and doctors, fix/maintain the...

Both of the hospitals in my area have IV teams that cover the entire hospital. If an IV needs to be placed/replaced, the IV team is called and we just wait for them to get to the floor and do it. My school doesn't teach us how to do IV insertions or ...

I was at clinical last Thursday afternoon gathering information from my clients chart at the wall desk next to her room. I was there for quit a while and hadn't looked up for several minutes. I sensed someone behind me and quickly glanced around to s...

I bought this book and regret it every time I look at it. I think it is absolutely useless. I used the manual I bought for my first English comp class (The Blair Handbook, very user friendly!) for my first nursing paper. Noted the corrections made by...

My husband was on Avonex three years ago. He had severe flu-like symptoms at first, but they subsided over time. His neurologist took him off of Avonex because of his liver function test results. He was put on rebif several months after stopping avon...
