3. New nurse stressing out

   mursinary replied to medic978's topic in New Nurse

   Dude... relax. It sounds like you're doing fine. The fact that you're so worried (as has been said before) is a great indication that you're a conscious and caring nurse. That's a great start. Start concentrating on leaving work at work. I know it's...

4. What does San Diego pay?

   mursinary replied to mursinary's topic in California

   Well, that's my problem. There's not a lot of information. The scales are from $32/hr all the way up to 111K/year. I need to know where I will fall within that range, since that's a pretty big range. So far the union information has been the most fru...

7. What does San Diego pay?

   mursinary replied to mursinary's topic in California

   Hello all, I originally posted this in the California board but didn't get any replies, so I figured I'd appeal to a wider audience. I'm currently a travel nurse with 8 years of ICU experience. Lately I've started to get tired of the travel gig and I...

8. Student nurse new job

   mursinary replied to Studentnursedgm's topic in General Students

   Once you've been there for a bit and have gotten to know the nurses, I'd mention that you were in nursing school. Lots of nurses will take a little extra time to teach you something or show you cool procedures, etc. Congrats on the job.

9. ACLS attire and course

   mursinary replied to cxe008's topic in General Nursing

   I always wear scrubs. If you don't want to, at least wear something comfortable. Read your book. Be able to pass the self exam and be confident in your ability to differentiate rhythms.

10. Should I pursue a career as an RN? Help

    mursinary replied to xlightx's topic in Pre-Nursing

    There's no reason why you have to go to college immediately after graduating high school and in fact several studies have shown that taking a year or two off after high school can be very advantageous. Nursing wasn't my first career choice. I graduat...

11. Advice on reason for quitting my job in interviews

    mursinary replied to greenandsilver's topic in Job Hunt

    To reiterate what others have already said, I would be very careful about saying anything negative about your former employer. Spin it into something positive, i.e. looking for more opportunities, challenges, skills, etc.

12. Cost of Nurse Residency Program

    mursinary replied to Butterfly922's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what everyone else is saying... it sounds a bit fishy to me. I understand that in some parts of the US, jobs for new grads are very hard to come by. I suppose that something like this could help, but.... there's something unsettling abou...

13. Pay rate for new nurses in the south

    mursinary replied to sparked's topic in Missouri

    That's going to depend where in MO you are. Since you're referring to it as the south, I'm going to assume that you're in the southern part of the state. My first job was in Springfield (8 years ago) in an ICU. My base pay was $17.50/hr. So I suspect...

14. What does San Diego pay?

    mursinary replied to mursinary's topic in California

    Nobody has any input? I've been searching all over but have yet to find anywhere that seems to have accurate pay estimates for nurses. I'm trying to compare a few different California cities.... Any information at all would be very helpful. Thank yo...

15. International BSN grad with compact state licensure, no chance to become an RN in Californ

    mursinary replied to TalarossaRN's topic in Registration

    If I were you I would email the California BON with your specific questions. They're pretty backed up right now, so expect the reply to take a bit of time. In the mean time, you may try to get answers from here: Philippine Nurses Association of Nort...
