hi ! today i had my first ever interview nursing job interview. ucla medical center has a training program, its a 1 year new grad residency program. so i think its great and all, but i guess i wasnt clear on their salary. i understand that its around 29 bucks an hour. i got the impression that they only pay time and a half or double time only on after 40 hours a week or after 12 hours a day. so....when i work 8 hours with 29 dollar, then the last four hours would also just be 29 an hour or is it time and a half. i guess i was confused. also if anyone has worked on the cardiology unit/geriatric unit- what did you think...i am a little intimidated with the high acuity patients for my first year....i need advice, i am going crazy trying to find the right fit for my first step in my nursing career. help!!! any info would help. thank you

Hello everyone! : ) I am a nursing student that is on my last semester of nursing school. In about a few weeks I will be doing my 144 hours of precepting. I was wondering from everyone who has been through precepting. Is it better to precept for the first time in the daytime or at night??? At first I thought doing dayshift would be beneficial to learn the chaotic 7 am to 7 pm shift...thought I would jump right in. But as I was discussing with my professor today, she said at night I will have a little more downtime to discuss with my preceptor about my patients whereas in the daytime, its so chaotic , I may not have much time to do that. Any opinions and suggestions would be great! Thank you!!! Becky

Hello Marie, I have to pick one topic, and i found it difficult because this is postpartum- usually I know they are screened for stis ...so that is why i am having a hard time. Yeah, I can just present specific stis . We are to develop a teaching outline and a teaching project to present. A flyer,handout...and a 15 minute presentation. Any ideas of how to present this and what i may talk about for one topic? Thank you greatly for helping me out...its been so stressful this quarter.... B
