3. Nurse Paralegal

   gwlillith posted a topic in Legal

   I was poking around on some job sites and found an ad for a Nurse paralegal. Would this fall in line with a Legal Nurse Consultant or is it just an ad for a nurse/secretary. It is for an established lawfirm here. Here's a brief summary from the ad: ...

4. Experienced RN at age 50; No jobs?

   gwlillith replied to gwlillith's topic in Job Hunt

   Actually, after reviewing the application I submitted I didn't see anywhere where birthdate was required and I didn't add it to my resume. I guess I'm just nervous after hitting the big 5-0 that I might be washed up. I think I've read too many articl...

   I saw a few for Aetna while job searching. Can you tell me a little more about what you do and the training process? I've been interested in this for awhile myself.

   gwlillith posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Hey all! I've been an RN over 20 years with the majority in the ICU. I have CCRN and CNRN certifications and have ASN degree. So far all my applications to other hospitals have been met with "another applicant has filled the position" I have applied ...

7. University of Pheonix vs Grand Canyon

   gwlillith posted a topic in Online Learning

   Anyone in either one of these programs RN to BSN know the difference in cost and completion. I'm trying to decide between the two since Dignity Health will assist with tuition costs. I can't quite figure out what the total cost would be since they mi...

8. Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

   gwlillith replied to skyflight's topic in Activism

   I truly hope they organize a union there and set a precedence for the rest of Florida hospitals! I've worked in many hospitals across Florida and I have to say many have horrendous working conditions and are just plain dangerous!

9. Would like to relocate closer to Home..

   gwlillith replied to gwlillith's topic in Arizona

   I agree with your statement. I spent a few years doing registry and traveled to 3 different hospitals within the system. Was definately a new dimension on each shift :) Since I haven't lived in Phoenix very long, and am not really impressed what I've...

    Hey all! I live in Surprise and am currently working at Barrow's/St Joe's. Alot of changes going on with "the joe" that I don't think is going to get better. But frankly, I'm tired of the long drive! I work nightshift and after almost 5 years here I'...

11. Can't get a job :(

    gwlillith replied to cheesecake89's topic in General Nursing

    You might have to be a little more aggressive hon! If you really want that job, then might I suggest...lying!!! Well, at least to get thru to the NM...I don't think it was any of the secretary's business why you are calling the NM. Seriously, I wou...

12. Can't get a job :(

    gwlillith replied to cheesecake89's topic in General Nursing

    Was just discussing this with another nurse tonight. She's relocating and has over 18years experience in Neuro ICU and can't get passed the snooty HR rep on the phone at the facilities she's applied at. The best thing to do is find out who the NM is ...

    gwlillith replied to jamonit's topic in School Programs

    Do they allow you to take the whole course online? I've been wanting to get more information from them, but been evading their calls since I expressed interest in it last year. They've been pretty persistent altho I'm still considering it. :)

14. What are the best ways/tips to study for cnrn?

    gwlillith replied to redapple's topic in Neuro

    Took that awful thing a little over a year ago and passed it. I spent the entire night before the test reading the Hickey book and got the test in front of me and was fuming!! The best advice I could give you is know your anatomy. This test focuses ...

15. Who's Hiring New Grads?

    gwlillith replied to chocolateskye's topic in Arizona

    Exactly...the thing is we haven't slowed down as expected during the holidays. We were busy straight through with an increase in our census. Overtime is encouraged in our unit due to some staff leaving and we're always short staffed. However, "incide...
