  3. NEW Grad Interviewing for MICU. HELP!

    jordiRN replied to melissa.in.san.diego's topic in Critical Care

    It will likely be more of the same, just with a new interviewer. In my face to face interview with the two managers of my unit, they asked behavior-type questions about past experiences ("tell me...

  4. ICU Straight outta school?

    jordiRN replied to WalterWho's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just graduated with my BSN in May, and got hired on at my first choice hospital in their step down unit with a 2:1 ratio. I had a contact higher up in the hospital food chain that recommended me for...

  5. Where do we keep our stuff?

    jordiRN replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

    Totally agree. However, at all my clinical sites, we were required to have our phones to communicate with our instructor throughout the day. We were also allowed to use it as a resource...just not for...

  6. Senior in college seeking grad info

    jordiRN replied to kcfox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Make a list of residency programs that interest you. These will likely be your best bet for getting a job right out of school (before taking NCLEX even). List the hospital, when the programs start,...

    jordiRN replied to MissCoCoKit_E's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have the exact same problem - high arch, high instep. I get mine stretched at a local shoe repair shop! I make sure to tell them that I only want that top portion stretched though! The rest of the...

  9. clinical experience question

    jordiRN replied to CTnewgrad826's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  10. Specifics about the required ICU experience

    jordiRN replied to jordiRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My thoughts exactly. The ratio is what was throwing me off, because I know of lots of typical step downs that have 3:1 or even 4:1 when really busy. However, I think you're right...this will be a good...

  11. Specifics about the required ICU experience

    jordiRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi! Like many of you, I went to nursing school with the end-goal of becoming a CRNA. I just graduated with my BSN, passed boards, and got a job! All good things! But my somewhat silly question is...

  12. Where do we keep our stuff?

    jordiRN replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

    For class, most people bring a backpack, messenger bag, tote, or something similar. We never brought our books to class (too heavy!), but always had our laptop and a spiral notebook in case we needed...

  13. Hesi exit exam help

    jordiRN replied to Twoods32's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I got just below a 900 on my exit HESI (maybe 890 or so), and my school says 900 is passing too. However, instead of retaking it, they did allow us to take a "failing" grade in our grade book for...

  14. I failed hesi 3 times

    jordiRN replied to Nurse Wilson's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Don't over-think anything. Answer what the question is asking, nothing more and nothing less. Typically, your first instinct will be right...it's when you start over-thinking the question that you...
