    Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

    Hkanwal replied to Gogol's topic in Relations

    I can relate to your comments. I definitely think there are better careers than nursing in healthcare field (if your driving force is higher than average pay and medical knowledge). I would suggest going into Ultrasound or MRI tech. They both have same prerequisites as nursing and are less hectic, with a bachelors you earn higher to equivalent to a nurse's BSN degree.

    Triage job Kaiser

    Hkanwal replied to Hkanwal's topic in Triage

    Hi there, thank you for your response. Do you know if I will be using a software to guide my advice or will it depend solely on my knowledge? Is there anything I can do to prepare myself for this job? I don't know what I am getting myself into.

    Moving to Portland--3 years ED...discouraged

    Hkanwal replied to melmacrn's topic in Oregon

    Hi there, I had a hard time finding a job in a cardiac unit when I moved here. But I had a few offers after a year. When I am searching for jobs there are many opportunities for ER and ICU paid internships in big hospitals and small community hospitals. I think, job market would be positive for you here.

    Triage job Kaiser

    Hkanwal posted a topic in Triage

    Hi All, I have a job offer from Kaiser Triage nursing in a Cardiology office. Also, another job offer at a PCU-step down unit. My nursing background is in cardiology. I am jobless these days. My question is how does Kaiser train their nurses for telephone advice nursing? I have only three years of cardiology experience. I do not know if they would provide me with a software to advice patients or it will be from my own knowledge. Also, what are some cons of telephone triage for a nurse going from a cardiology floor nursing?

    Surgical Short Stay Unit

    Hkanwal posted a topic in Oregon

    Hi All, I just accepted a position in a surgical short stay Unit as a RN. I am uncertain what type of cases will I be taking care of. Most of my nursing experience comes from a cardiac step down unit. Please advice what type of orthopedic surgeries and other procedure are mostly done in a short stay surgery department? I am a bit nervous since it has been a long time when I had my ortho rotation in nursing school. Thank you so much!
