1. Job Offer?!

   Just Jojo replied to RNTX07's topic in Home Health

   I am actually an infusion nurse and just hired on with a private pay home health agency. My opinion is that you absolutely take the position! Better $$, better hours, etc. Five pts a day could be quite a few, if you look at the math. Depends on the m...

2. OccuVAX...? Or other flu/vaccine clinics...

   Just Jojo replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in Job Hunt

   GraceElizabeth, it is more simple than you would expect after having done all the "training" online! "Clinic" is just the name Occuvax uses for the places you will be administering vaccines, that is, the company location that you will drive to. The...

3. I need to work, can I join a nursing program at centro or Brookhaven?

   Just Jojo replied to Affane78's topic in School Programs

   Think about Grayson College. Perhaps you could get in to the LVN program, then bridge to the RN. It makes a nice stepping-stone approach to getting your RN degree....

4. Am I too old to become an RN??

   Just Jojo replied to bananerz84's topic in LPN-RN

   Hello everyone. This is JoJo again. I posted earlier in this discussion and wanted to add a quick comment or two. First, I really did consider the original post might have been a click magnet, that is, posted to maximize the number of eyes that see a...

5. Am I too old to become an RN??

   Just Jojo replied to bananerz84's topic in LPN-RN

   Dear Bananerz84, I don't think your question is crazy, by any means. Based on my interpretation of what you've written, you are a good candidate to get your registered nursing degree. I would go the LVN-BSN route; you can likely do much of it online,...

6. Need Resume Help to land an outpatient infusion position

   Just Jojo replied to jayjaykay's topic in Oncology

   I have not read any of the other posts regarding resumes as they apply specifically to oncology positions. BUT, I can tell you that the panel of nurses that hired me for my current position told me they selected me because of something on my resume n...

7. Kaiser interview

   Just Jojo posted a topic in California

   Hello everyone! I am considering working for Kaiser, and understand they include "scenarios" as part of their interviewing process. Can anyone tell me about this kind of interview? Are the questions extremely specific, or just general in nature? Th...

8. Er Tech?

   Just Jojo replied to DS930's topic in Emergency

   Faeriewand, I was a brand new LVN, really just a new-grad. I had never worked as an LVN, and was not hired in the ED as an LVN. But I had clinical experience that included the skills they needed. My classmates went to long-term care facilities, but ...

9. Er Tech?

   Just Jojo replied to DS930's topic in Emergency

   DS390, If you are still interested in an ED tech position, I would suggest that you go down to the ED and speak with the Manager. Some hospitals "require" that you be an EMT or paramedic, but others do not. (I wonder, too, if the requirement might n...

10. Best Hospitals for New Grads

    Just Jojo replied to MSUnurse's topic in California

    The day after I graduated from nursing school in Texas, I packed up, sold my house and moved back to northern California at the request of my aging (82, 86) parents. My dad is in early-stage Alzheimers. (I say this, because I came for reasons other t...

11. Has ACLS been 'dumbed down'?

    Just Jojo replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am scheduled to take the one-day ACLS recert class in a couple of weeks but wonder if I should retake the entire 2-day course. Don't use the material in my job, but I do understand it. In your opinion, does the one day recert class pare down the in...

12. Disgusted with my behavior, need help

    Just Jojo replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with MLOS who said, "As a new grad you may very well be feeling on edge ... this may translate into some less-than-friendly body language and tone of voice." You are rightfully preoccupied with your new job responsibilities, and perhaps a few...

13. NCLEX-RN passed with 265 questions!

    Just Jojo replied to Just Jojo's topic in NCLEX

    sunshine500, I took the test on a Thursday, but didn't see my name on the BON list until the following Tuesday. Another friend of mine took the test on Thursday and didn't see her name on the BON list until the following Wednesday! Even though the te...

14. NCLEX-RN passed with 265 questions!

    Just Jojo posted a topic in NCLEX

    Today I found out I passed the NCLEX-RN exam after having answered an excruciating 265 questions. I finished considerably after all the other NCLEX-RN test-takers in the exam room, and came out of the testing center absolutely sure I had failed. The ...

15. Is there LPN to RN programs in Fort Worth,TX

    Just Jojo replied to nursebettyincali's topic in California

    I live in a city about 10 miles north of Dallas, TX, and am graduating from the Grayson County College LVN-RN program next week. GCC is in Denision, about 50-60 minutes north of me, but the drive is gentle - and in the opposite direction of the traff...
