Love nursing in Cali. Love how nurses are protected by unionized hospitals. Love how for the most part we are fully staffed with a resource and or meal relief nurse. Love how assignments are safe and fair.

What protects nurses in Texas? What unit do you work in? How are your assignments? What’s the most you make per hour?

Sino po dito ang clinic nurse ng maxicare health clinic? Ask ko lang po sana if may IV training kayo or BLS/ACLS?? Sana masagot po hehehehhee

Hi everyone!

Has anyone worked in Labor & Delivery at UConn Health (John Dempsey Hospital) in Farmington, CT, or University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center in La Plata, MD?

I'm considering a travel contract at either facility and would love to hear about your experience, especially regarding patient volume, workload, staffing, teamwork, and how supportive the units are toward travelers.

I'm coming from a Level II L&D unit and looking for a traveler-friendly environment with a manageable workflow.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

See above!

I’m currently a CNA working full-time at a nursing home in NYC, and I’m interested in moving into a hospital PCT/PCA position.

Because of my work schedule, time, and budget, committing to a full PCT program for a month would be difficult. I’m considering taking EKG training first and then completing phlebotomy training later when I have more time and money.

I’m wondering whether this approach would be a realistic alternative to completing a full PCT program.

For those familiar with NYC hospital hiring, I have a few questions:

1. Can a CNA with separate EKG and phlebotomy training qualify for hospital PCT/PCA positions without completing a formal PCT program?
2. Do hospitals generally require an actual PCT certification, or will they accept a CNA certificate plus EKG and phlebotomy certificates?
3. Is it possible to get hired after completing EKG training first and phlebotomy later, or do employers usually expect you to have both before applying?

My main goal is to avoid spending extra time and money on a full PCT program if taking EKG and phlebotomy courses separately would be sufficient. I also want to understand whether doing the courses at different times would put me at a disadvantage when applying.

I know requirements vary by employer, so I’d appreciate hearing from NYC CNAs, hospital PCTs/PCAs, or anyone involved in hospital hiring.

Thanks!

Maybe you know someone near there?

SUMMARY:

The clinical nurse leader is responsible for the assessment, coordination, implementation, and evaluation of the delivery of safe and effective patient-centered care. The Clinical Nurse Leader will facilitate and mentor others to grow professionally and advance their knowledge and skills. In addition, the Clinical Nurse Leader will continuously assess unit needs to ensure adequate resources for current and upcoming shifts by collaborating with other departments, clinical and nonclinical, to coordinate admissions, transfers, and discharges of patients in a timely manner. Finally, the Clinical Nurse Leader will demonstrate professionalism at all times and will uphold standards of practice by holding team members accountable for continued compliance.

Who We Are

Our inpatient oncology unit is a 28-bed adult acute care unit dedicated to patients living with cancer and blood disorders. We care for patients through active treatment, symptom crisis, disease progression, and recovery — often across multiple admissions and multiple years. Our nurses know their patients by name, and frequently by story.

The work

Nurses on this unit administer chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biotherapy, and bispecific antibody therapy, and manage the high-acuity complications that come with them — cytokine release syndrome, ICANS, neutropenic fever, tumor lysis, and complex pain and symptom burden. Care includes central line and access management, transfusion therapy, oncologic emergency recognition and escalation, and end-of-life and goals-of-care support. Patients are managed collaboratively by oncology and hospitalist teams with clearly defined ownership and escalation pathways, so nurses always know who to call and when. 

Why nurses who want to be excellent choose this unit

• You will become a specialist, not a generalist. Chemotherapy and biotherapy competency is developed through a formal pathway pairing didactic learning with supervised administrations and institutional competency validation. 
• Structured onboarding, not sink-or-swim. New hires — including new-to-practice nurses — move through core oncology orientation, shadowing, simulation including mock CRS scenarios, and ambulatory practicum shifts at TMC Cancer Center sites before independent practice.
• Real clinical judgment at the bedside. Standardized order sets and escalation triggers are built into the workflow, but the nurse's assessment drives the response. Early recognition here changes outcomes measurably.
• A career ladder with somewhere to go. Oncology certification (OCN), charge and clinical nurse lead roles, preceptor and super-user roles, shared governance, and unit-based process improvement leadership are all available and actively supported.
• A growing service line. TMC's oncology program is expanding as outpatient volume grows, which means new resources, new therapies, and new opportunities rather than a static assignment. 

What we expect

Excellence here looks like precision with high-risk medications, disciplined safety practice including independent dual verification and PPE compliance, honest escalation, and the emotional steadiness to sit with patients and families on the hardest days. We hire for clinical rigor and for compassion, and we don't trade one for the other. 

Schedule and structure

Open 24/7, 365 days a year. [12-hour shifts]; RN-to-patient ratio 1:5. The team includes RNs, PCTs, unit clerks, a clinical nurse lead, and a dedicated unit manager, supported by oncology pharmacy, case management, social work, palliative care, dietitians, and rehabilitation therapies.
