  1. Utilization Review

    NurseMegP replied to Sherriblu's topic in Case Management

    Wanted to say in regards to experience (and maybe it's because they're short staffed) but I was recently offered an interview for a UR position with only 1 year med-surg/tele experience around the...

  2. Ursuline College

    NurseMegP replied to Mthom17's topic in School, College Programs

    Leaving this here even though the post is older for others who are interested. I graduated from Ursuline in December of 2015 and have good things to say (mostly) about the program. The work itself is...

  3. Best way to avoid bedside care?

    NurseMegP replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good point, MAs are starting to be able to do a lot and at least in my area there is a lot of opportunity for them. If you're set on nursing, I totally understand the aversion to bedside...

  4. Not what I expected

    NurseMegP replied to NurseMegP's topic in General Nursing

    I actually have thought about ICU but I'm not sure since most of the starting jobs in ICU are for night shift. I could maybe go back to nights for the right position... but I was not a nice person...

  5. About to quit med-surg

    NurseMegP replied to Newbie_1's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I agree that it won't look great on a resume, but saying "I left due to unsafe working conditions" is a very really thing and something that many managers who have been in the field

  6. Not what I expected

    NurseMegP replied to NurseMegP's topic in General Nursing

    Again, those who have constructive feedback, I really appreciate it. It takes heart to help a stranger over the Internet who is struggling with her career choices. I honestly leave my loathing of...

  7. Not what I expected

    NurseMegP replied to NurseMegP's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't heard from the dialysis job yet but I will decline taking it. I think I am going to ask my manager to shadow on another unit or two to get an idea of what I really want to do. Thank you to...

  8. About to quit med-surg

    NurseMegP replied to Newbie_1's topic in Medical-Surgical

    7:1 is not ok on days and whoever said 4:1 and an aid won't happen, newsflash! That does happen at hospitals that care about their nurses. Where I work I get 5:1 at most, 4:1 is typical. If I were you...

  9. Is medsurg worth it?

    NurseMegP replied to RN1485's topic in Medical-Surgical

    In my opinion, for the options you mentioned going into, medsurg probably wouldn't benefit you at this point. Honestly I am trying to get out of medsurg so I am probably a little biased but if cardiac...

  10. Not what I expected

    NurseMegP replied to NurseMegP's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Nutella and idodialysis for giving me some feed back on the dialysis side of things. I really appreciate it and love the idea of shadowing. I will probably not accept the dialysis job if...

  11. Why 1/2 normal saline?

    NurseMegP replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever doc put in the order should be able to answer it for you. I can't think of a good reason myself, but any time I had a question be it on nights or days I would reach out to get answers. If...
