Our stroke association is looking into this also. This is from the American Board of Neuroscience Nurses: [h=1]SCRN Test Dates and Deadlines[/h]The SCRN Examination will be offered in computer-based testing (CBT) format during two examination window...
I would like to relate that though I was sweating it I have found a nice job as a stroke coordinator. Though a masters degree was not a requirement it didn't hurt to be 60 with an MSN to secure a job I wanted. There is still nirsing after 60. .
One thing I want to bring to the attention of nurses who are looking at taking jobs which pay less. Social Security is set up where your monthly social security benefit is based on the last five years of employment. What I am saying you may have m...

I just graduated from this program two weeks ago. To carry the title of Clinical Nurse Leader you must take the CNL certification exam which consists of 150 questions. I take mine this Friday. If you do not pass, you will still have a masters deg...

I did not read the original thread, but I just want to reflect on my life's experiences as a nurse who has worked in the same hospital 25 years. I saw nurses who were in their forties and by the time 25 years passed, they were tired and frazzled an...
For the past several months I have had my name on lists for CNL positions. Not a day passes where I do not recieve at least 1 to 4 job notifications in the field. Granted the positions are hot on the east coast, Nevada and California, but Ohio and...
I did not mean to sound unappreciative of education, but I value my past experience in the field of nursing also. Many nurses will admit they graduated and didn't have a clue as to how to function as a nurse. I will admit for 20 years I did not un...
I totally agree with that statement. Recently I made a comment on one of our discussions in my MSN program that I appreciated any good nurse whether she be RN or LPN because experience was the key to performance and one of my professors made a snotty...
