Nursing Assessment or Nursing Intervention that requires an order ???

Nurse 18 months . I was extremely tired to the point I was not able to do anything . Well , I was hypothyroid!!! Now I feel so much better !!!

I want to hear from all of you why you love/hate being a PACU nurse . I have a strong desire to get there when I get good experience in critical care . I have a strong desire to be a PACU nurse . I want to hear why you love it !

Yeah . I didn't think you need a Doctor's orders to bladder scan a patient since you are assessing them at that point. You do need a order to straight cath a patient . I had a MD questioning me why do I have to call him for an order to straight cath ...

Ohhh that's the story of my life .....

Northshore health system in NY is starting that program . You need extensive ICU experience or ER .

Great advice .... I do the same with my husband !

Right now I'm training in medical stepdown . Where I am I have the chance to be expose and learn many new skills. Would love to concentrate in critical care . I've been a nurse for 18 months . On the unit I am I feel like I know nothing because every...

So happy for you !!!! Congrats !!!!!

I am currently a Med Surgical nurse in one of the health system Hospitals. I have one year experience under my belt. Graduated with a BSN in 2012. I applied last week to NYP and I already had an interview on the phone with a recruiter today. I took t...

Wow , Thanks a lot for the good info !

Congrats to all of you !!! Molloy is a great school!!!!!

I wanted to be on FB all day and get paid lol j/k lol !!

I got into NS w. 3.2 GPA- graduated with a 3.6 at the end . You can do it!

This is correct . Raise your GPA or apply to another school. There are more wonderful Nursing schools other than Stonybrook !

exactly !

Try another facility then. That's what I did . I'm going from medsurg to a Medical floor/stepdown. I want to do PACU in the future .

My advice is sweet talk and patience . One of my patients told me "why don't you try it first and then I will" . Lol it worked ! It is a very special population of patients . Isn't fun when they pull their IV lines and won't let you restart one ? Lol...

I worked full time almost until the end that I had to drop to part time because of my preceptorship. I had no choice and graduated with a very nice GPA. Not to forget , I also have a kid , a husband and a dog lol

All I have to say is , you are not even OLD ! Follow your heart !

We have priorities. That's the only way I make it alive by 730am - some CNAs don't understand that turning or changing a patient right now when they want to does not take priority over med pass or having to hang blood right that min or a bolus etc . ...

I want to work there too ! Where I can drink coffee and hangout with my iphone . I'm lucky if I get a bathroom break during my shift . I eat and chart at the same time. I really need an interview in this place lol

Has anyone interviewed with NYP lately ? I have an upcoming interview . Any comments, advice? Yeah , I'm a little nervous !

I have severe anxiety with testing. I remember that while taking the NCLEX, I was having like 600 PVCs in my heart ( I normally get them especially when anxious) - I passed the first time with 75 questions . I had this huge adrenaline rush . I do agr...

Did they tell you if you have to work every other weekend ?
