   Fanilow replied to RN1980's topic in Mississippi

   I live in the Union/Lee county area. We have Baptist and NMMC hospitals here. So, does Baptist DeSoto not have a hiring freeze on?? That is one of the places I would be intrested in working part time or week-ends. The masters program I am in meets at...

   Fanilow replied to RN1980's topic in Mississippi

   At my hospital, they have just placed all of the full-time Home Health/Hospice RN's on salary to cut out overtime.These nurses have been working 8-10 hrs of overtime just to get all of the work done, so they are not very happy. I'm still part-time so...

   Fanilow replied to Fanilow's topic in New York

   Thank you, that's great to know that we can wait and buy the tickets that day. I was thinking we would have to order ahead of time like we do tickets for shows that tour. I guess that makes sense b/c the shows aren't only there for a few days lol. We...

   Fanilow replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

   Hope your husband is fully recovered by now. I just wanted to mention that I have had the full blown, hope never to have again flu and I don't think any amt. of Tylenol or Advil would have stoped my aches. In one day it started with my youngest daugh...

6. Mandatory On Call???

   Fanilow replied to truern's topic in General Nursing

   Just about every position I have worked requires call. The way it usually works is day shift takes day call and night shift takes night call. We are usually paid something like $2/hr just to carry the beeper and then if called in you get OT pay. Home...

   ARGHHHHHHH!!!! Get this, the manager calls me and wanted to let me know that while in all probability this position would have been mine, when she went down to get the process started, she was informed that the corp. had just initiated a HIRING FREEZ...

8. difficulty getting ICU position

   Fanilow replied to healingbirth's topic in SRNA

   Ok, so I have just gotten back from another interview. This is an ICU at a much smaller hospital with only an 8 bed ICU. There is not nearly as much action here as there is in the other hospital but it would be fine for a starting point. I guess this...

   Here is a really good quote that may give you something to think about, sorry I don't know the author's name. "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, ca...

10. difficulty getting ICU position

    Fanilow replied to healingbirth's topic in SRNA

    That's how I got my OB training! I would be more than happy to do the same with ICU if given the chance. Strong nurses come out of the baptism of fire. My time will come and I will be ready. I am the eternal optimist

    Apparently it's going to be harder than I first imagined . I had an interview last Thursday for an ICU position @ the hospital I currently work in. Interview was great, lasted over an hour. The manager was very nice and told me about all of the train...

    Hey RN1980 I was just curious if your 2 friends that were accepted to the program at Tupelo are employees at NMMC. I am and that is the program I am intrested in.

13. Any info on UT Chattanooga?

    Fanilow replied to SuperSleeper's topic in SRNA

    Hey thanks for the info. I plan to apply at both UT Mem & UT Chatt and pray that one of them will take me. I still have to get into the ICU and work for at least a year. I'm hoping that the one year will do. Surely that can see with all of my oth...

    Fanilow replied to SuperSleeper's topic in SRNA

    Thanks for the reply. I have been out of the hospital setting for some time now and I really don't know what all goes on there. I am planning to transfer to the one of the units after the first of the year for my ICU experience and I guess I will fin...

    Are there any nurses on this board that are currently in the program through UT Chat/NMMC? This is what my plan is since I currently work for NMMC and live around the Tupelo area.
