  1. Regret

    An extremely bad decision, in my eyes :-) Unless you are thinking becoming a CRNA eventually, well, it takes a long way and might not worth the effort.
  2. Does it matter which school I get BSN from to get into ICU?

    I concur after some research. Private schools are outrageously expensive in my area. Most of them won't give me extra edge when looking for jobs (besides BSN). Major academic centers, mostly public schools, are only 1/3 to 1/5 of the cost, and have a...
  3. Does it matter which school I get BSN from to get into ICU?

    Congratulations on your transfer! The biggest issue for me now is to get into a hospital. I've seen too many fresh BSNs in my area have difficulty finding a hospital job. Some have to work in a NH for a couple of years. And some just settled in NHs. ...
  4. Does it matter which school I get BSN from to get into ICU?

    Thanks, the state school only have online RN-BSN, and I tend to do badly with online classes. I'm currently looking at SUNY RN-BSN, they have traditional ones and seem more affordable.
  5. I'm thinking about applying RN-BSN programs. When I graduated from ADN program. I had extreme difficulty finding my first job because almost all hospitals in northern NJ area require BSN. I ended up working in a nursing home for two years, then I sta...
  6. New Grad leaving NYC RN jobs to pursue CALI job?

    As far as I know, NYC has an extremely tough new grad RN job market. May I ask if you graduate from some top school like Columbia or NYU? I don't mean to be any of offense, I'm thinking going for my ADN-BSN, just trying to pick up a school and wonder...
  7. Subacute rehab nurse to Med/surg nurse

    Just wondering if a nurse agency take you if you don't have acute-care experiences? I have similar experience as you. All nurse agencies I've seen require at least one year experience in acute-care setting, so sub-acute won't count.
  8. where to apply,, who's hiring?

    I don't think hospitals accept walk-ins.
  9. CA resident looking for a job in NM

    Hi, how is your job hunting in New Mexico? I have a feeling that Nevada has a very tough market as well. Because lots of CA nurses who cannot find a job move to Nevada. After all, it is only 4 hour trip.
  10. For those who do not have experience!

    Question, is it legal to volunteer as an RN on the floor and passing meds, giving nursing treatments, just like a regular hired RN does? I think that is prohibited by state labor law. Volunteering in the hopital like a high school student does will...
  11. Thanks for the advices. However I'm thinking. The worst case, I should not have any problem finding a sub-acute or Skilled Nursing job in one of these states. So the worst case scenario would be working in a nursing home in Texas instead of in NJ, w...
  12. Thanks for advice. Your mother is a very experienced nurse. In my case, I'm an ADN and don't have hospital experience yet. I'm afraid they are not going to hire me if I stay out of the state. That said, it is very risky to move to a place that I don'...
  13. I'm currently an ADN working in a LTC-subactue nursing home in NJ. Have about three years experience now. I'm planning to move to one of the South states: Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas. Whichever place I can find a hospital position. I'm in the ...
  14. First RN job at a nursing home, advice/tips welcome

    I work in a nursing home too. Yours sound like a 12-hour shift, which I have never heard of of a nursing home, maybe yours is a subactue care? Plus, your nurse pt ratio is very low. At night shift in the nursing home I work, the nurse patient ratio i...
  15. Interview at SNF tomorrow for new grad position

    Same here. When I started, I was supposed to work in 3-11 shifts, but they oriented me for 7-3 shifts for a month. And I couldn't work at night shfit due to being a new nurse. Thinking an experienced nurse orientation is only 2 days, vs one month tra...
