I agree, nurses leave because of management. And it's not only in the facilities-even schools, dr. offices, hmo's, etc. seem to attract a large portion of managers who you sometimes wonder if their only credentials are sucking up to higher managemen...
That's exactly how I am. When my grandson had a broken arm and was in the ER, I didn't volunteer it but the nurses picked up on it just from the way I was handling the situation. However, when I went to have my gallbladder out, the pre-op nurse and ...
Have interviews with both this week, was trying to get some background on each. I realize totally different populations and I am confident I can deal with either. What I want to focus on going back besides the orientation-which will certainly be a ...
You may have read my earlier post about Scottsdale Shea, well JCL N. Mtn called today for an interview. The good thing is, after being out of floor care for a few years I'm still wanted. Now I need to compare the 2 hospitals. I don't know anyone w...
are there any out there that don't require clinical? I work enough without having to do clinicals when that's what I do for a living. Most I've looked at require clinicals of some kind, they just call it something else.
Thanks for the input. I've had some friends who worked there too and enjoy it-just like to get input -especially from those you don't know since they aren't trying to get you to come to work with them! LOL
Thanks for the feedback and your points are very valid on a med/surg floor. I am planning on returning to a tele floor with a night ratio of 5:1. I worked too many nights on med/surg with me, a PCT & 15 pts! When staffed properly, I loved the ...
Arizona does not require CEU's for renewal of nursing licenses (which I think is dumb) but I know many nurses here, myself included do take ceu courses and even those that don't offer CEU's. so I think the market is there for you. As for advertising...
I'm thinking about taking a tele position there as an RN-several years of experience on Med/Surg but have been out of pt care for a couple years. Any info on pay, scheduling, management style, what kind of a place is it to work? etc. Thanks for an...
My daughter works for Banner and from what she is hearing the new hospital isn't pulling in enough ER patients, plus they have a lot of new docs out there. In fact, they just closed down their cardiac cath lab becuase they weren't busy enough. I he...
I think your ICU experience will be a definite plus but it all depends on your state and what hiring practices are like. Many of our hospitals, if not all, will hire new grads for trauma/neuro icu as well as the other icu's. They usually have grea...
and I could use some advise. My background as an RN for the last 10 years had been primarily med/surg but also some hemodialysis, school nursing, home health in there. Currently I do telephonic utilization review. I've been out of direct patient ca...
