  1. "I work in the medical field"

    EDnurseNY replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Right, I did deviate from the original topic a bit there (even though I wasn't even in nursing school at that time, I was a teacher). I'd definitely take a total layperson that admits they're a...

  2. "I work in the medical field"

    EDnurseNY replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I definitely agree. I love it when people/caregivers can tell me exactly what's going on and I know they'll be able to understand and carry out any new directions. I'm also glad when I see someone...

  3. "I work in the medical field"

    EDnurseNY replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    You never can win with this situation. There was another thread a few weeks ago(?) talking about whether or not to "reveal" that you're a nurse when seeking care or with a family member. The consensus...

  4. Bachelor's Degree (NonScience) to Nursing

    EDnurseNY replied to Oyiwaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! I went through an accelerated program in Western NY, and I think my school did things a bit differently. Of course there were (six) pre-reqs, but all of them were online and were extremely...

  5. Have been told LPN BAD idea

    EDnurseNY replied to vspaniel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry! That's Emergency

  6. Have been told LPN BAD idea

    EDnurseNY replied to vspaniel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in Western New York, starting at an ED. I'm (department) orienting with three LPNs, so I know it's possible to get a job in a popular specialty. I couldn't speak to their pay though,

  7. losing hope...

    EDnurseNY replied to sparkeepoo's topic in General Nursing

    What part of the state are you in? You don't have to be specific (you can maintain your privacy), but the situation in NYC is much different from WNY, CNY, the North Country,

  8. Got an offer at a rehab, is this typical salary? What did you accept?

    EDnurseNY replied to MsNewbee's topic in Rehabilitation

    I used a salary "cost of living converter" website since I live in Western New York. I'm just starting out as well, and my pay is the equivalent of getting paid $26 in Fort Worth. I'd be dancing on...

  9. New Grads With Attitude

    EDnurseNY replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am a new grad, and 26yo. Of course I expect to work nights, weekends, holidays, etc. Nursing is a 24/7 job, we don't just close up our units and go home at 5pm. That aside, I am actually looking...

  10. How do you get your first nursing job?

    EDnurseNY replied to stnurse2016's topic in General Nursing

    I went through an accelerated program in NY. I had a Capstone/preceptorship placement on an ICU-level unit. I was asked if I'd want a job on the unit and I would have accepted it had I not already...

  11. Not sure if this is stupid question or not but..

    EDnurseNY replied to EP10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I needed to have the AHA BLS course. My hospital provides the course, but I had to

  12. hiring pregnant RN

    EDnurseNY replied to ap2409's topic in General Nursing

    You would think so. I left (for school) before she came back, so I don't know how it actually worked out. But as of when I left, the plan was to keep her on. There were a lot of management issues at...

  13. hiring pregnant RN

    EDnurseNY replied to ap2409's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you that the staffing issue wasn't her fault. It was a bad situation all around and apparently we couldn't afford to hire even more people permanently for full-time. This wasn't after a...

  14. hiring pregnant RN

    EDnurseNY replied to ap2409's topic in General Nursing

    In a hospital I was working at, a CMA was hired on because we were incredibly short staffed on CMAs. She hid her stomach very well and never disclosed until the day she came in for orientation, and...

  15. CNA attire during interview?

    EDnurseNY replied to Shanty3710's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Agree with all the PPs! The only thing I'd add is that there's one more situation where scrubs would be okay. At my facility, most units have you shadow (new hire or transfer) to see if you like the...

  16. Respect the letters

    EDnurseNY replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Your original post was talking about how you can't stand that people look down on LPNs and treat them poorly. This all reads as "Why can't people respect me? They say 'you're an LPN, you don't know...

  17. University of Rochester ABPNN Sept 2016

    EDnurseNY replied to Esmeraldap's topic in School, College Programs

    Good luck! I remember that time being called the "what the hell am I doing to myself" week, since there were exams and assignments and the final demo all in the same week. There'll be a few more of...

  18. University of Rochester ABPNN Sept 2016

    EDnurseNY replied to Esmeraldap's topic in School, College Programs

    AveMeriah, congrats on getting in! I just graduated and passed the NCLEX. While you have a tough road ahead, it's all worth it in the end! Good

  19. University of Rochester ABPNN Sept 2016

    EDnurseNY replied to Esmeraldap's topic in School, College Programs

    No no, sorry! I'm from a previous cohort! I'm just letting you know what process they use. Good

  20. University of Rochester ABPNN Sept 2016

    EDnurseNY replied to Esmeraldap's topic in School, College Programs

    It's a phone call, then a letter sent the day you get the call. I guess they like letting people know ASAP? They didn't even get me on the phone, so they left a

  21. University of Rochester ABPNN Sept 2016

    EDnurseNY replied to Esmeraldap's topic in School, College Programs

    Sorry if this is in no order at all, I'm just putting down what I think of (and answering PM'd questions). I'm also known to ramble, so sorry. First off, I was in the May cohort, so my application...

  22. University of Rochester ABPNN Sept 2016

    EDnurseNY replied to Esmeraldap's topic in School, College Programs

    Esmeralda, I got your PM, but the system isn't letting me respond since this is a new account. Do you want me to put any information here in this

  23. University of Rochester ABPNN Sept 2016

    EDnurseNY replied to Esmeraldap's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi everyone! I graduated from the UR ABPNN program three days ago (5/13/16). If anyone has any questions about the application process, interview, program, or anything URSON, please ask
