  1. Questions about Children's Memorial

    Starting pay for new grads is around $25/hr which is actually less than most of the other hospitals in the area. That is for days, night shift plan on an extra $3-4.50/hr depending on the day and shift(weekends are more). That being said, the Residen...
  2. The Holiday

    Not working! One of the perks of the OR......only 1 Holiday call per year!

  8. Experience Needed for NP

    Can anyone tell me if they know any NP's or APN's who came from OR settings as RN's? Does OR experience count as inpatient experience for an NP program? Does cardiac cath count? If anyone can shed some light on the subject I'd appreciate it! I'm thin...
  9. Question for any CRA's

    I am considering a research position that did not specifically state RN required. I know it is common to have unlicensed people in these positions, but I am wondering if it counts as "nursing" in terms of license renewal hours? Is anyone in a CRA rol...
