Right on, I totally agree with you, anne74. I worked for this company in my first year of nursing and they did the same thing to me. It was a big part of why I left. Yesterday when my DH went to work they once again told him that he would be charg...
It is more like an ICU step down for trauma pts. Occasionally a post op from the OR is admitted when space is unavailable elsewhere. Most of the admissions come from the ICU.
NO, he was not offered the job with more pay. He just went to work one day and the staffing office said that he would be charging now. He works the night shift, and the charge nurses at this facility are required to take full assignments as well as p...
My husband is a new nurse. He has been on a medsurg unit for less than 6 months. He has already been asked to assume charge nurse role, and feel unprepared to do so. He has had no training or orientation to charge. His organization is short staffed...

I agree with prvious posters, that you need to look around in the forums and also contact the schools you are interested in. As for the difference in associates and bachelors, there isn't really much difference. By the time you count all pre-requis...
I am pretty sure i was excused a couple times when I was in college because i was a full time student. I don't know if the same rules apply in your state.
Teamwork is absolutely important. It makes everyone's life easier. That is why many places call it a treatment team. And besides, no one person is expected to know everything. It is important to patient care and safety for us to work together. If the...
