  1. Odyssey Healthcare on call and triage nurses

    Vista Care bought out Odyssey here in Albuquerque. Prior to that, they fired oodles of GOOD NURSES, the director and the nurse manager, after they fired me. It was a place of very low morale anyhow and a greed pit. They didn't do justice to the patie...
  2. New Grad Freaking out about jobs

    Dear Kamiworm, Wow, congratuations on getting a BSN. It looks like there won't be a shortage anymore for nursing for a long time. Why not continue with your studies and go for a Physicians Assistant? Now definately there is a demand there. That's wh...
  3. New Grad Freaking out about jobs

    Dear Graduate Nurse Freaking out, Please don't freak out anymore. I have another suggestion. After reading your post this afternoon, I just thought of something else. My background is this: I have 20 years plus nursing experience. What I know i...
  4. New Grad Freaking out about jobs

    Dear New Nursing Grad Freaking Out, Don't freak out! This is what I would do.... I would get on the internet and place several calls per day to different hospitals and talk to their nurse recruiters directly and ask them if they have a training pr...
  5. Odyssey Healthcare on call and triage nurses

    Dear Texas Flower, Hi. I would not work for this company. They hire new nurses all the time, then they fire them one by one. Their main firing issues have to do with first of all, asking their nurses to take on extra patients for the day, then when...
  6. Nursing at Fort Defiance Indian Hospital

    The 638 status or "going tribal" as they say, simply means that they are no longer having to answer to the U.S. Federal government about how they spend their money. They become their own independent corp. :up:They will continue to get Native America...

  8. New nurse quiting after 7 months of working.

    If I were you, I would try and land a job there before I even quit the one you are orienting with and they might welcome this sort of thing. Let them know that you have to move there because of your impending family situation.

  10. Failed nursing student

    About getting your LPN...why not call the board of nursing in New Mexico? They might have some idea about how you can get through the LPN exam. That would help you a lot in getting your foot in the door in nursing and you could go on and get your BSN...
  11. Failed nursing student

    I have another suggestion, why not take the LPN exam in another state? Just call around and ask if you could do this. I don't think they all have the same exact rules. Being an LPN would officially get you into the nursing field. Then you could apply...
  12. Failed nursing student

    I agree with the above posts. Don't give up. Just look at this as a bump in the road. Something similar happened to me in my third semester of ADN school as well and I was back in my classes the following semester, then graduated. If after everything...
