发帖数: 38 | 1 不是班主，试着回答一下。一些Nursing 的期刊会有low-cost 或 free CE， 像Advance for nurses, nursing spectrum. RNs 可以免费注册这些期刊。不过每次的CEU都不多，大概1-2 个CEU， 所以要凑够30个，要做挺多个topic呢。 也可以去附近医院注册conference，cost会比较高些。 另外如果在读书（nursing 有关的），听说也可以count towards 30 CE. Good luck. |

发帖数: 36302 | 13 In ManorCare( the biggest chain nursing home), all RNs are nurse supervisors.
Actually, night shift is not bad. Because almost all new admissions come
before your shift.
What you do is charting (Medicare patients), checking AM labs, receiving and
distributing medications( usually pharmacy delivery medications to NH
around 4-5AM).
Of course you need call MD or 911 if something happens.
Charting is very simple in NH.
And you will have at least 2-3 hours nothing to do. |

发帖数: 193 | 15 I heard usually NPs are easy to find jobs, but not very good pay. That's why
some NPs are still doing agent RN's because it is better pay. But NP's job
is 9 to 5, 5 days a week. It totally depends on what you are doing and what
you want. Personally, I love my ICU job, but physically I don't think my
body can still handle it in 5 years.
Sometimes, I feel RNs are also bottom of pyramid, very easy be abused. It's
the part I don't like. |

发帖数: 6080 | 26 不可以，内科医生也都不插管，ER，肺科或者麻醉师可以。
美国医院里医生每天来溜一眼，写下病历就走人，和病人一起时间很短，所以全靠RN盯
着。病人有什么事儿，RN们看着办，自己能解决的就解决了，不是职权范围内的，就
page医生，口头医嘱，RN执行。另一件事，就是记录记录记录，VS， I&O是给医生们看
，其它的是用来防官司的，美国有很多鳄鱼律师每天逡巡医院，挑唆病人告状，因为医
疗事故诉讼是块大肥肉。具体一点的工作，比如一早上来了，要先对你病人的病情，病
史，作过的测试检查有个了解，然后检查病人，有变化就要处理。labs要查看，要
treat。完了就发药，新医嘱，病人的，其它形形色色人等的电话。新入院，出院转院
。每种都有相应paperwork,education什么的。很多药，RN要根据病人情况给，不能死
板给，所以要知道简单药理，要观察病情。RN是各种team的桥梁，其它人有事先想到找
RN， RNs根据情况 relay information。
反正吧，教学医院除外，因为有住院医撑着。其它医院有关病人的，事无巨细，是RN在
做第一决定。 |

我觉得shortage是大趋势，最近的不缺护士是由于经济危机和医疗改革造成的暂时的假

On April 1, 2011, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that
the healthcare sector of the economy is continuing to grow, despite
significant job losses in recent months in nearly all major industries.

Also there are few people that pursue advanced degrees in nursing if they can

她问我为什么以前能工作，我说我用了AA degree 的OPT ，因为当时找不到工作，只能
做Registry. HR 告诉我这个医院已不再给护士办身份了，我说能不能给我个机会在这
里做上一年，我是不用training的。她想了一小会。就让我去manager那儿interview了
，之后manager 说要跟DON商量一下才能给我答复，一星期后给我答复让我上PRN per

miles呢。
这星期上班好开心，同时怕自己做不好，最后被赶走。面试这个医院的时候有一大堆
RNs,我亲眼看到美国公民也被拒的。不知道怎么才能报答他们给我这么个机会。 |
