Oregon-our management says it’s cheaper to pay the fines than hire more staff and decrease ratios. We have acuity tools that do absolutely nothing. We have a staffing committee-no progress. Five total cares, with dementia, an insulin drip, and anothe...
Nurses and health professionals are the number one trusted profession as well as the number one assaulted profession. More so than law enforcement! You did the right thing.
I don't know about that. With Moodle we were expected to know the syllabus and already have read the first few chapters and looked through the power points by day one of class...
If all else fails, cite "patient safety" as a reason for a new preceptor...telling you wrong information purposefully can have very detrimental results and you may not know the next time she does that --it may cause a serious adverse reaction causing...
Dear 16 year old me, I wish I researched this and did what you are about to do...11 years later-I am the first to graduate in my family with a BSN!!! What Beth advised is what I did to get here. I graduated Aug 2016. Apply for scholarships, financial...
Interestingly enough we were actually encouraged to do so as the "new thing" get with the times put a face to the name-kind of like meeting in person...our university actually provides a free professional photo session for seniors to include in their...
for those getting a second call-can you tell us a little about your background so if we don't get a call this time we know which items stood out. What's your history in experience, education degree/graduation time, and how did you feel about the spee...
Hi all! Comment if you applied, when you hear back, and for those not applying or those who have applied in the past, what interview questions were you asked? My first interview is this coming November 3...applying to OB, ED, & ICU. Looking into...

Like pockets in scrubs? That are full of saline flushes and alcohol wipes í ½í¸‰...does your facility policy allow sweaters/vests on top of uniforms? I've seen this in some places and not others...
Because of the amount of people applying they have a lot of applicants to choose from. The biggest thing is to have your license by the required time to start. For example Legacy starts in July and February. Second interviews are about a month before...
Like stated above you can take Oregon's test in FL. But do take it in FL cuz that's where you are comfortable and studied-and you'll have less anxiety. Jobs for new grads are a little tough here if you are not doing Clinicals here and coming without ...
I wanna hear too. If anyone hears please post. I'm thinking they will contact later rather than sooner considering they contacted regarding the first interviews fairly last minute... so I'm thinking mid December...
I went for three totally different fields í ½í±€í ½í¸³ ED/ICU, Women's care, and NICU. ED and Women's care sounded very impressed. NICU just didn't pick up on any of my answers if I didn't specifically phrase them using the words from the question. F...
Check out their nursing handbook online. It includes all the standards. So long as you follow them you can start gathering the equipment now. Never too early. Especially if you find a sale on the scrubs and lab coat.
I'm in!!!! I actually only received my email today-Tuesday in the morning (3/11/14)...BUT I am sooo excited!!! I was jumping for joy and telling everyone!!! I already bought my shoes and appropriate watch and have a stethoscope that UofP approves!!! ...
