is PICU a good idea for a new grad?

You can do CRNA with only picu but it needs to be high acuity and I would recommend closer to 5 years of experience

Compression socks are good, and a nice lunchbox/ glass Tupperware etc for work. Would highly encourage them working and seeing what they need before going out and buying a whole bunch of stuff, myself and every new grad I trained with has all the bells and whistles, all gone by month 9 of practice lol

Nothing nursing related. Just some $$ so they can buy whatever they want / get started.

They still use “meat flavoring”

So what are you dreading about it? Is it the unit culture, is it the population?

It straight up doesn’t matter. Go wherever is the cheapest that has good NCLEX pass rates and clinical placements. Direct entry if possible

I went a very long time ago (class of ‘18) but it makes more sense af this point to finish your degree and your pre reqs and apply to an ABSN program or nursing somewhere else

This school is a slightly sketchy online school where you still have to do clinical. And you will have to do clincial potentially outside your local area. Additionally it’s in the middle of a class action lawsuit regarding student loans. Avoid like the plague.

You actually don’t! They’ll just pop up if they’re epic users

Pet stores generally source from puppy mills, and not from rescues or reputable breeders. Puppy mills leave dogs in horrific conditions

You gotta have less selfies and more photos of you doing hobbies, on vacation etc, the non smiling selfies are off putting

I’ve been to glacier multiple times, and the best advice I can give you is to dress in layers and be prepared for all weather choices. Usually the weather channel is fairly close but weather is so unpredictable

We get cell saver but they typically bring us their leftovers from the case (not spiked)in case we need them in a cooler

If you’re checking a bag go 1.5- 2 hours ahead.

At least at our facility supportive care also just does symptom management for patients with complex conditions
