That is a possibility, but that alone should not deter you from becoming a nurse. Always just be careful and know how to safely dispose of a needle and be extra aware when using one so you don't poke yourself or others accidentally.

Just stumbled across this post while browsing through the Scrubs/ Uniform thread! Yeah, basically you can wear anything you want! I have seen most nurses leave their work shoes at work and wear tennis shoes or other shoes to and from the hospital. I ...

Yes you can absolutely use your preceptor, or clinical instructor! Definitely someone who can attest to your bedside skills, willingness to learn, team-player, takes feedback well, etc. Also, I definitely think the nurses you've worked with who saw y...

10 and 11 years old?? That makes my heart hurt. I just can't imagine that or how that even happened ?

Hey EmilyRae08! Are you doing the WHNP program full time or part time? Do they give a part time option? I’m looking into WHNP programs possibly for the future!

Hey all! Looking into this school for WHNP in the further. Are you all doing the program full time or part time? How long do they predict it will take if you go part time? thanks in advance!

Stumbled upon this post late, but I am actually glad to see a post like this. I have thought a lot about this because I work in a Level IV NICU and we definitely get our fair share of mico-preemies and unstable patients but I enjoy the feeders and gr...

I worked this past Christmas Eve and the few shifts before then had been absolutely nuts. I was really nervous that my Christmas Eve shift would be crazy too so I was pretty anxious and just wanted a nice Christmas Eve at work. So, I guess because of...

I am a NICU nurse and I have found that I love working with the 34-35 weeks preemies that are just learning how to drink from a bottle. Sometimes i feel like i take bottle feeding for granted with the older babies who know how to eat, but it gives me...

Thank you, I hope you have good luck too! I interviewed there in September of 2017! I was told that it's extremely busy and once you transfer a patient you'll likely get another soon after. It was a pretty large unit. I think the ratio was 2 patients...

Hey! I currently work in NICU but am looking to get into L and D myself! I did my practicum at University of Maryland St. Joseph medical center though, in L and D and really liked it. I am not sure about c-section rates at hospitals but I can give yo...

Hey all, I am a new grad nurse (graduated this past May) and am looking to get my MSN sometime in the future. I am leaning towards getting an MSN in education, but not sure I want to teach at a school or be a staff educator in a hospital. I am very p...

Let me see if I can clarify. I have been doing research on MSN options, as I'd like to pursue a higher degree. If I did, and MSN in education may be something I am interested in, as a clinical instructor or maybe a part-time teacher at a school. I se...

Hey there! First off, congrats on your upcoming graduation! I just completed my first year as a NICU new grad and glad I came across your post. I honestly think that if NICU or infant care is what you want right off the bat, then go for it. I found t...

Bump?

Hey everyone! I just graduated with my BSN from Notre Dame in May and passed my NCLEX in July on the first try! If you are in the Baltimore area and looking for a BSN program, I urge you to consider Notre Dame of MD University! Their BSN program a fe...

For Maryland, based on the numbers at interviews I've been a few months ago, usually pay between $27-$30. Anne Arundel Medical Center is 27.50, University of MD Med Center offers 28.13 and Holy Cross in Silver Spring offers $30/hr but you have to sig...

Try liquidcompass.com! My school has a page through that website that allowed us to see new grad positions in areas surrounding us and different cities in the country as well. It is worth looking into for health care jobs and anyone can use it! I bel...

Does anyone know if UMMC offer loan repayment?

Does anyone know if UMMC offers loan repayment?

I'm so sorry that you didn't get the job. I really hope the interviews at Hopkins and St. Agnes go well. Something will come! Stay positive and hopeful. I went through so many ups and downs these past few months but something will come along!

Kingvonn did you hear back yet??

You stated in your original post that, "I am the only license nurse", which sounds to us viewers that you are calling yourself a nurse. No one is trying to belittle you, believe me! People are offering you advice. You are a Medical Assistant which ha...

You can totally get into a new-grad program in the NICU, I did. I had a senior practicum, in Labor and Delivery which may have helped. Do you all have a senior capstone or practicum experience? I would try to get into a NICU or and L and D unit for t...

Following. Congratulations on your new position!! I graduated in May and also got accepted in a Level IV NICU as a new grad, starting in October! I am so, so excited but nervous! I am an L and D girl at heart but I loved the beautiful unit when I to...
