You can possibly also find more, but they may be in east asian websites that don't recognize western copyright laws. Just do a google search and look down the pages, when you find stuff that looks like chinese, have google translate it for you. It may not be great translation but enough for you to play the video. Be aware also that when western copyright holders find these sites, they request internet providers to block access to them, so each time you want to view them, you may need to insitute a new search.

CSC is focused on fresh (first 24 hr) post op cardiac surgery patients with critical problems, CMC focuses on non op medical cardiac patients that really need crit care. Both focus on patients with problems which make them unstable compared to the average patient with their condition. At least that is the way it was explained to me.

Learn what the job is before you start training for it. If you want a job in healthcare, in any form, go be a volunteer at a hospital and see what the job is like. In this field now for 45 years, I've seen way too many new graduate nurses burn out fast because they don't really like the work, and then all the little annoyances just grind them down until they hate coming to work every day. For most students, all they know about nursing is what they see on TV and in their brief visits to a doctors office or hospital. Then they go to college and get swamped with required courses that have nothing to do with what the job will be. Two years in, a lot of those students just continue on because they don't know anything else. Then before you know it, you have a new RN standing at the nursing station complaining that she didn't go to school to be a nurse just so she could wipe butts and empty bedpans. All because she didn't know what she was studying for. Volunteer. Learn what the job really is. If they know someone who already is a nurse, ask them if they can go to work with them some day to see what the job is really like. Because to come out of school and realize that it isn't what you wanted to do, and now you're stuck with it with a $50,000 student loan, is a horrible thing to look forward to.

It depends on your other options. If you can't get into any other RN program, it may be your only choice. If you work full time days, and only have evenings and weekends to go to school, that extremely limits your school choices. I had to find a school that offered weekends. There was only one. It cost many times more than the other schools, but I did get my RN even though I had to cash in my accumulated retirment accounts to do it. Was it worth it? Yes. I easily made up for my investment in my education within a few years, and have enjoyed doing a job I like ever since. Only you can decide whether you need to dive into the first school that offers you a seat in a nursing program. If you're young and can wait, I'd recommend looking into a govt community college, get your RN there, and continue part time at a state 4 year program to get your BSN after that. Also remember that getting a job after school can depend on your references; if you have letters of recommendation from your instructors and previous employers, that can go a long way. Wherever you do your clinical rotation, make friends with the staff and try to meet the manager there, and work your butt off to impress them with your work ethic. Way too many people don't think that's important anymore; be the first one in, and the last one to go home. People will notice. So too, will networking to get you in the door of a new employer. Every job has many applicants; having someone with connections to the people who do the hiring can make all the difference in whether you get the job. In the meantime, volunteer a day or two a week for a few hours at a local hospital. Learn while you're waiting. Ask questions. Help with anything that they'll let you.

I think that a lot of people who tell you that they hate their job, are simply fed up with all the little annoyances we have to put up with, and there are a lot. Computer problems, docs who blame us for their own situations, equipment that doesn't work, techs who disappear when we need them, radiology and lab depts too slow, phone operators who don't even know extension numbers, etc., the list just goes on and on. I think one of the things we have to remember is, it's a job. Things are not always going to be simple, or easy. It's why they pay us. If it was all fun, people would do it for free. I was a volunteer and then an e.r. tech before I went to nursing school. I knew what the job was before getting it, and I don't think most nurses do, they have an idealized image of what they expect, and when reality hits, they're disappointed. They they get the older experienced nurses who complain all day, and it makes the job seem like it really sucks, when it doesn't. I still like my job. There are days when it drives me nuts, but that happens with every job. Remember the good things, and the parts that you enjoy doing. Don't let all the negative things be what you focus on. Even the worst jobs I had, were enjoyable some of the time.

Yes, but pretty much every hospital manager I've worked for has behaved this way. Burned out nurse managers who came up through the ranks feel their workers are still their friends; then take everything personally when problems come up. My last one always got annoyed whenever someone called in sick, and complain, 'why is she doing this to me? Doesn't she know we're already short staffed?' as if the employee was intentionally calling in sick just because she hated her manager. We see this behavior by nurse managers all the time. They take things personally, then start to hate their employees. It gets worse because the senior hospital managers feed into this, and create an adversarial relationship between the staff and the managers, all in the pursuit of increased profits. They conveniently 'forget' to approve overtime, and tell the staff they can't fix the paychecks until the next pay period (which of course is false). But this is off topic. Lets just say that most nursing managers aren't very good at managing, because that's not what they trained for.

They do get hot. If you're already hot wearing scrubs, then wearing thigh high stockings will make you even hotter. I wear Jobst stockings because of varicose veins, and get plenty hot whenever the temp goes above 72 degrees F.

You gave them notice, and you have a better job to go to. Don't short change yourself just because your old manager can't do her job staffing her department correctly. Most nurse managers are there simply because they've been there a long time, not necessarily because they're good at managing. Besides, notice is not LEGALLY required at all. It's a courtesy to your employer. As an RN the only thing that you legally have to do is make sure you are relieved by another RN if you are working with an active patient load, and if you've already worked 16 hours and are exhausted, your supervisor must come down to relieve you (although declared disaster conditions may change that, of course). If you simply stop showing up, they are still legally required to pay you for all the days you worked, and depending on your state, are usually required to mail out your last paycheck within 14 days of your termination date (most companies consider not showing up for work three scheduled days in a row to be automatic resignation). Many employers will tell you that their policy is that you must give them a certain amount of days notice, or that you will forfiet your last paycheck or earned vacation time. This is not necessarily true, as upon hiring your vacation time is included as part of what is referred to as your compensation package, and is just as much earned as your paycheck. By labor laws, they must pay you for time worked. You can check with your local labor board for this. As far as giving notice, two weeks is more than adequate. Long ago when working as a manager, I was taught that as such I was responsible for maintaining an adequate staff, and keep a list of potential candidates for positions that may need to be filled. A manager is also responsible for staffing, not the employees. When you are hired, you are also given either personal/legal holidays or PTO days, and 30 days notice of using one of those should be more than adequate as well. Managers who try to make their employees responsible for staffing are poor managers. If you're a good worker and come to work on time, any manager will value you. Yet there are some who treat all their employees badly, and to them, you have no reason to feel obligated at all. If at some point you want to work at the old company when a new manager comes on board, it's easy enough to tack on a cover letter with your resume explaining why you left under the circumstances you did. A good manager will not hold it against a good employee just because a previous manager wasn't able to do her job correctly. Remember, not all managers are good. Stand by your abilities and your record, and if you interview with a manager who does not seem good to you, move on. Remember also that you are also interviewing THEM when you go in. If they don't meet your standards, it won't be worth your while to work for them. That said, best of luck on your new job. There's a reason you took it. Don't sacrifice a good job just because of threats from those at the old one. Oh...you may also ask around about any employees who were laid off at any point in the past, and how much severance pay they were given. If they weren't given any, then that's the amount of time you should be requred to give them. None.
