  1. Seeking Advice: Direct Entry Blues

    jennylee321 replied to mk989's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for sharing your story, I hope people see this post and rethink going into this direct entry MSN

  2. Why is it that I come early and I still finish last, and am the slowest at handles :( (nic

    jennylee321 replied to tmjwe3's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I just realised I gave quite a bit of advice on your last thread but wanted to add in this. For those of us new at any speciality we often hear we are slow from others or tell ourselves this. But...

  3. Why is it that I come early and I still finish last, and am the slowest at handles :( (nic

    jennylee321 replied to tmjwe3's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You are slow because you are new, everyone is slow when they are new. Even though you did med surg it's a completely different knowledge base and type of time management. Think of yourself as a new...

  4. Is six months too early to transfer?

    jennylee321 replied to klb17's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it's too soon, where do you actually want to

  5. Neonatal X-Ray Interpretation

    jennylee321 replied to adventure_rn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Just checked out radiopaedia and it looks like a pretty good resource

  6. Lost new grad pediatric nurse

    jennylee321 replied to ehauser's topic in General Nursing

    Can you hang in for 2 more months ? If you can it will look better on a resume. Yes I think that if you weren't floating all the time it would help with your anxiety. I'd advise applying to any floors...

  7. Nursing notes & legal stuff

    jennylee321 replied to Jamuhh's topic in General Nursing

    I'm no legal expert, but continue to monitor in your note above seems unecessary, rest of the note looks concise though. I used to use "continue to monitor" all the time when I was writing structured...

  8. Hand Hygiene causing hand eczema

    jennylee321 replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Nursing

    If your occupational health department can provide you with a spray hand sanitizer (has a spray handle like a bottle of windex), this stuff has made a huge difference for me. I haven't had any skin...

  9. "Please" and "Thank You"

    jennylee321 replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    haha

  10. labor and delivery in Ontario

    jennylee321 replied to bmir21's topic in Canada

    Chances are probably better for NICU than L&D. Do you live close enough to CHEO? Children's hospitals often hire new grads because they are able to offer decent

  11. Ontario Nursing..should I or shouldn't I

    jennylee321 replied to bmir21's topic in Canada

    If your dream is nursing then why not follow it! You successfully worked as q PSW for 5 years so that's a good start. Do you have the appropriate pre reqs from high school ? If not you will need to...

  12. Hello and Help...

    jennylee321 replied to SAnurse81's topic in International Nursing

    Canada will be a long and difficult process to get into let alone become a nurse

  13. I HATE Working as a CNA in a Nursing Home (RN student)

    jennylee321 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    If you secure a position as a hospital tech, go ahead and give your notice then. If you are relying on this job to support you, then yes maybe you should just keep your head down and carry on. I have...

  14. How do I get a job in a mental hospital

    jennylee321 replied to diego_g's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm Feel like we are getting trolled here, since when can 16 year old drop outs take college pre reqs. Wouldn't you go to the college and they would tell you to go finish high school

  15. I feel so stupid in the NICU, will I ever be good enough?

    jennylee321 replied to tmjwe3's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It is a huge transition coming from med surg from NICU, but it can be done and what you're feeling is normal. What will you do the first time you send a baby to the OR or do an admission? You will...

  16. First Year Horror

    jennylee321 replied to ajp43's topic in General Nursing

    You said you graduated in December 2016? How many months have you actually been at your

  17. Nurses and bullies...

    jennylee321 replied to nightingale4me's topic in General Nursing

    You think becoming an NP will allow you to not deal with bullies ? 1. NPs are not exempt from being bullied, no one is 2. You need to be an RN to me a proper

  18. Lab and nursing

    jennylee321 replied to Labrat99's topic in General Nursing

    My new job has a gas machine on that unit that nurses are trained to run, and believe me it was a humbling moment when I ran someone's gas and the machine said it was clotted. I was so scared to go...

  19. New Grads in Critical Care area's

    jennylee321 replied to kindz22's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak to adult ICU but I believe new grad programs in NICU work quite well in the NICUs who can support them with a solid orientation. This has to do a lot with the fact that not every NICU...

  20. I want to be a nurse!

    jennylee321 replied to jessie1414's topic in General Nursing

    You are not too old lol Here's a tip when you are 24 never refer to yourself as too old for anything other than maybe "too old for chucky

    jennylee321 replied to Memepapi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What do you think memepapi? Since its your

  22. Will I have a social life in nursing school

    jennylee321 replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I certainly felt like I had a social life, although I did a 4 year direct entry bsn so I don't know if a associates is more intensive because it's over a shorter time. I think how naturally bright you...

  23. Where can I get male only patients?

    jennylee321 replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe get a job on a prostate ward? Just kidding, this surely does not exist, but was the first thing that popped in to my mind when reading your post. Did you consider your ability to only care for...

  24. Feeling Bad About Calling-In

    jennylee321 replied to CSHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Don't feel bad you are obviously sick and have the right to call in, I wouldn't want you taking care of me in hospital if you are barely able to keep anything

  25. NICU New Grad

    jennylee321 replied to bsnrnphn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If you have no NICU experience they won't expect you to answer questions heavy on NICU theory. You are more likely to get asked questions that will test your professionalism, critical thinking,...
