Like I said earlier, I'm left traditional nursing for MR. I love it! I can be out daily by 330, no nights, weekends, holidays. I make a decent amount more per hour than I did in traditional! I live in a Boston suburb. I have friends/co-workers who le...
I started in Assisted Living. I too am a new RN, I graduated in May 2011. An Assisted Living Wellness Nurse is a jack of many trades. You see it all (psych, cardiac, pulmonary, endocrine, dietary), really a huge mixed bag of human beings! You write n...
mikey....that is basically my story. i knew after my first clinical i had to get out of dodge! i love healthcare, but not bedside. i have 7 months under my belt and off to medical review nursing for insurance company. Pm me and i will tell you more!
I am curious: a) what was your first job and how long after graduating did you land it? b) how long did you stay at the first job? c) why did you leave and what did you do before going to the next?

That is GREAT! I have heard people say they really feel like they are making a difference and they enjoy the extra time and the permanency to get to know the residents. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks! I actually heard they were filling up, but I guess you can troll around and usually get a really quick cancellation date! My friend scheduled for like 2-3 weeks out, but tried again the next day and got the following day! Appreciate your repl...
Hi, I just graduated and overnighted my application to BON (MA who runs it through PCS in Nashville) and it was received last Thursday. When I log into Perason the only option that I have is "Registration" which I have done, and Pearson acknowledges ...
The courses are really not the hard part in my opinion. It is the skills! I go to skills labs over the weekends to get extra practice! I am in clinical twice a week, but I like the extra time (time that you don't always get with patients) to ask ques...
Hi, I am a nursing student and really do not think I like the hospital setting, but I have only been in Med/Surg so I am sure there are better areas. But, I am curious what other careers are available to an RN (ADN but certainly moving on to BSN). I ...
I think I will get the titer and just wait for the results. I can spare two days (just barely) maybe I will get the titer done first and then just have them give me the first Hep B in case the tire shows negative for Hb antibodies
