I moved to Charlotte from S. Florida and have been looking for a job since the end of September when I received my NC license. I have probably applied to over 20+ jobs and haven't received a single call for an interview! I feel like my resume is pr...
Hi Rach, I am a graduate of NIU's school of nursing and I can say you have chosen a fantastic accredited school to attend! Getting your BSN right away is the best move you could make. Plus, living in DeKalb was fun too since it is a college town. ...

I graduated in 1997 and my first ICU job we made our own KCL bags! We used 0.9NS and injected the 10,20, or 40meq's ourselves! Now that is NOT done anymore!!! Also, in ICU each nurse only was assinged ONE vented patient...now we can have up to three!...
I would suggest going the RN route rather than X-ray, only because nurses have SO many options offered to them. If you have a weak stomach, then you go into an area with little blood (psych, doctor's office, phone triage, case management, legal nurs...
