They seem to have several openings which makes me wonder, but I am really interested in home health care, and they are the only ones with openings. Thanks, any suggestions would be helpful. BTW does anybody like HH? I only read negative things. Is it really bad or just the company? I have 6 months experience. I am trying to get a year, but I really do like hospital nursing. ]]> Alabama Nurses alabamagrad http://allnurses.com/alabama-nurses/alacare-home-health-439902.html http://allnurses.com/alabama-nurses/what-kind-shoes-439767-new.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:54:15 GMT Any advice on nursing shoes would be helpful! :-) thanks Any advice on nursing shoes would be helpful! :-) thanks ]]> Alabama Nurses Cadnac22 http://allnurses.com/alabama-nurses/what-kind-shoes-439767.html http://allnurses.com/alabama-nurses/alabama-worst-place-439754-new.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:20:15 GMT Although I have only been living in north Alabama for 2 years, I can tell you it's the worst market for nurses. Upon arrival, I obtained a job at the local hospital, which by the way, doesn't believe in evidenced based practice. They proceeded to tell me after my 2 years of experience and ACLS AND PALS they could only pay me 16.46/hr. I came from a teaching hospital in a major metropolitan area. I had more experience than the house supervisor, which had been in this little town her whole life. I wanted to be close to home so i accepted the job. I only trained there a month. they wanted to give me 2 IAAP pts at the same time, which is not standard practice. This hospital is under major debt and hopefully will be bought out in the next couple of years.
I just can't stand the thought of me working so hard to become the competent nurse I am, I study on my days off, and work somewhere I'm not supported. The unit manager told me she didnt want someone with a bachelor's because she was afraid they would leave and go to anesthesia school. Who would try to "dumb down" they're staff like that? I now have to drive a tremendous distance just to work somewhere that gives a flip about they're staff and wants them to accel. It's pitiful here, in northwest AL. do you guys know of ANY good job? ]]> Alabama Nurses hopefulnurse84 http://allnurses.com/alabama-nurses/alabama-worst-place-439754.html http://allnurses.com/alabama-nurses/my-nursing-school-439680-new.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:46:38 GMT This summer after I graduated from HS I started to write a blog.

Today I decided I really needed to vent and just talk about stuff. So I decided to start posting again...now there are 5 posts. So far it's more rambling about stuff yall probably don't care about, but if you're interested go take a look. There are really only 2 posts so far about nursing school. Hopefully, I'll stay motivated and keep it up!! Maybe if I had more than 3 readers it would encourage me... :)

Hello,

Does anyone know of who the best teachers are for A/P I,II and Microbiology at Faulkner State CC(Bay Minette) or who I should avoid??? I've heard that even people who sometimes have all B's don't get accepted to the nursing program, so I'm trying to get all A's which would be great! Any help would be appreciated!
