  2. Difference between Macrobid and nitrofurantoin

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Patient Medications

    Well, I can offer a personal experience: I was recently placed on Macrobid for a UTI and when I filled the scrip at Target, the big name they put on the bottle was for Nitrofurantoin. OK, I'm used to...

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Nataline, I will be driving up there in the very near future to shadow and interview. I just read elsewhere on this site that starting new grad RN-BSN pay is 20.50 an hour?!?!?! This means uprooting...

  5. How nasty!!

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to rnrae's topic in General Nursing

    I hope your best friend had the guts to speak up and stop that CNA!!! In my clinicals and orientation most recently, I saw it all the time for nurses, techs, docs, and family to blatantly ignore the...

    Onco/Heme-Renal/Hospice--- NOT A GOOD NEW GRAD FIT!!!! Run, don't walk to a place that will offer more than 6 weeks orientation!!!!!! Good Grief...ok, now I"m healed, but still need to find my niche...

  7. Looking for a job in the Atlanta area?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hey Klitz, what do you know of DeKalb Med's Birthing Center? or anything of that hospital? Do you lke it? Do they treat pts and nurses well? Clean? Teamwork? or do they have high turnover and eat...

  8. Looking for a job in the Atlanta area?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Lots of "suggested" Pitocin labors at Piedmont as well. And the staff there is not desirable, save for a nurse here or there. Also buyer beware, they pride themselves (and their website!) for being...

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to Buddha05's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I realize this is an old thread, but it's not closed. Any takers who can tell me what is involved in RN-BSN licensure by endorsement from GA to NY? Thanks!!

  10. Preemployment test in Hospital

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to Narine's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds like the Pharmacology test they had me take during the HR paper portion of my pre-employment. MUCH easier than NCLEX, and the timing had me earn a 97% (only missed 2 out of 112! ) because I...

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi Erica, you sound like me! Same interests and close in age. From what I've seen and heard there is no reason why you cannot pursue PP. My only obstacle in looking was trying to get the position...

  12. How many times did you switch jobs as a RN?

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to RNroseshea's topic in General Nursing

    What hopeful news Tatarn! I'm searching as a new grad after not even 3 mos in Onc/Renal/Hospice; excuse the pun, but it was deadly and almost killed me too! Lots of health probs as a result and now...

  13. Shabbos/Religious Observances

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Whose logic Josh? Yours? And "evidence to the contrary" as the saying goes, isn't medicine still in its own infancy? It's being advanced daily, and it's still debated, tested, researched and...

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to billlee2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Grugan, I can relate. I went through it. But my experience was very bad, I was on a bad unit, and I ended up getting physically ill. I left somewhere around my 8th week. Now I'm not sure where my...

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to mark3274's topic in First Year After Licensure

    :yeahthat: Also, some mnemonic somewhere taught that hot dog buns come 8 to a pack and the age group that eats hot dogs is between 8 and 25. Something silly like that. But it sure helped me on my...
