  1. Requires 2 weeks notice?

    I started a per diem position 4 weeks ago as a substitute school nurse. I currently work full time hrs at one school. I found a full time position and would like to move on. My start date is flexible for the new job. Should I give the standard 2 week...
  2. What are your thoughts?

    I just started a new school nurse position about 3 weeks ago. I work for an elementary school in an inner city community. The school has a total of 360 children. I started the position as a last minute substitute nurse. I really like the school &...

  4. Chamberlain MSN-FNP July 2018

    I was supposed to start July 9th, but I'm applying to a state brick and mortar school. It just makes more sense for me. So I'm holding off my decision to go with Chamberlain. I've heard mixed reviews as well. I just completed my final course for my B...
  5. What Would You Do?

    Before she apologized she tried to say there's a fine line with cognitive abilities. I kept syaing no! The client has no cognitive impairment and can definitely feed herslf. I am definitely planning to leave, but not just like that. I need to know th...

    Hi everyone. I work for a small homecare company. From time to time we take mediaid cases. I completed an assessment for a medicaid client and it was sent to mediaid for approval to receive reimbursement. A few days a ago a coordinator informed me th...
  7. Am I Overacting?

    I want to make this short. Last week I started working at an assisted living facility. I have plenty of experience, just not in assisted living. So I was hired an assistant DON along with a new DON. The current DON is retiring at the end of the month...
  8. Frustrated with contract offered and excuses by travel company

    I'm so sorry to hear about what you are experiencing. I think it depends on the area. Since the recession, a lot of things have changed. Have you tried Cross Country Travelers? I worked with them and they are pretty good. I will pm you my recruiter's...
  9. What are you really good at?

    I'm not sure if it's a good thing, but I am extremely good at working with people. I can make the most combative patients calm down. I can't quite explain it. It's funny because the other nurses are looking at me like I'm crazy when I tell them how m...
  10. does anyone regret this career?

    So interesting to hear you say that it has never been a higher calling for you. I felt that way for a long time and felt really guilty about feeling that way. What could be better than being a nurse? Honestly, I rarely have problems with the patient...
  11. Herzing University FNP online?

    Ok. I'm late, but did you actually go on the site. It's $780 per credit hour there. The MSN program is 45 credits. So after books, fees, and supplies you are up $40, 000. Therefore, I say, it's not different from Herzing.
  12. Today I passed AANP FNP boards!!!

    Congrats!!!
  13. Why I became a nurse, the down and dirty

    I became a nurse because I truly felt that it was a divine calling. No one could convince me that wasn't the case. I felt that there were so many things I could do, but this is what I should do. I believe I was young and very naive. Now, I stay in it...
  14. Health Insurance and Agencies

    I have been working with traveling and local agencies for almost a year now. I felt confident that I was covered because the local travel agency I was working with said I have health insurance. Everything came to a halt when I started to develop vari...
  15. Herzing University FNP program?

    Well, I spoke to them yesterday. Have you ever heard of highway robbery? Yes, of course they make it so convenient! You can apply and get in within two month of submitting your application year round. They are charging $800 per credit! I might as wel...
