  1. Anyone here start in OB as new grad?

    How is the job going now?
  2. haha I agree although it seems like your new grad RNs would probably get high 20's I would imagine? Which is about what I just stated as our top RN new grad salary locally so it seems to be similar.. however it does depend where you are in the US (on...
  3. Where the heck do all you new grads starting at double my salary (70-90k) live?! I know here $26/hr is about the highest you'll see base pay for an RN and most are about 22/hr.. clinics 19.50/hr. For all the knowledge and skills and not to mention sc...
  4. Going back into acute care.

    "They told me they could definitely get me in at hospitals in upstate NY though as they have some places working close to 50% staffing levels." Sorry to tell you but it's not much better up here either. NYC is a lost cause.. they don't hire new grads...
  5. Need help with job offers!

    Well I ended up taking the LTC position.. and after two weeks I am going back to the oral surgeon's office! The LTC was not the worst but.. not using safe procedures/techniques.. the orientation was a joke, etc. I just don't want to learn things the ...
  6. Patient Care Nurse

    hmmm I know I can't give meds until I pass the NCLEX and pass a med orientation for three days.. whatever, I'll be an aide for RN pay if they want me to :) I am thinking I will be shadowing someone and helping with treatments and learning documentati...
  7. Patient Care Nurse

    Hi everyone. I just started at a ltc as a GN and until I get my RN they said I would probably be working as a patient care nurse. What exactly does this mean? Has anyone else heard of this term before? Thanks!
  8. Need help with job offers!

    Hello. I think I've made my decision but just need help to kind of verify it. I will be graduating in one week with my BSN and have two job offers.. neither are really my ideal job but I understand in this market in a small area with 300 new nurses I...
  9. How hard to pay off 50k debt on a nurses salary?

    I have triple that amount of student loans and own a house (mortgage is about $1200/month) and also have a husband with student loans. Just what our generation has to deal with. Debt because you have to go to school to work. Sad cycle and sad that ev...
  10. Who does Dental anesthesia?

    I have actually not heard of any other mixture in this area (central NY) or western NY being used for IV sedation for 3rd molar removals so curious why in these situations you think it's so unsafe when it's actually common practice. This is in an ora...
  11. Who does Dental anesthesia?

    It's an oral surgery suite, not a clinic which i'm sure makes a difference in the people he has assisting and the care he gives.
  12. Who does Dental anesthesia?

    The oral surgeon's office I work at uses a mix of versed, propofol and fentanyl.. he pushes it himself. He is also an MD not sure if that makes a difference. Has never been an issue.
  13. What questions did she ask you during the phone interview? :)
  14. No, I did not have a phone interview yet and I applied to 6 positions and they did not say which one it was for.
  15. Hi everyone. I know this was originally posted last year but I just was called from HR to set up an interview with the employment specialist (a part of HR I guess) in person in a couple of weeks. This seems to be different then how this went for you ...
