1. Nursing school in Puerto Rico and the financial crisis. Is it a good idea?

   NurseMedic28 replied to Lacy3558's topic in US Territories

   Rotations were already hit or miss before. Depends on how ambitious your clinical professor is. They're tough to get because all nursing schools in PR do them in the same time frame.

2. Nursing school in Puerto Rico and the financial crisis. Is it a good idea?

   NurseMedic28 replied to Lacy3558's topic in US Territories

   I wouldn't go unless you've got 30k stashed away to live off of for the next few yrs. There are no jobs there. Everything is ludicrously expensive. The school has it's own host of issues. You'll have to go through credentialing before being eligible ...

3. Confessions Of A Nurse With Poor Interpersonal Skills

   NurseMedic28 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Relations

   I do see myself in much of what you wrote. I'm INTP. I've been called analytical and straightforward. I've had difficulty with "office politics" or "playing the game". I despise being fake and forcing an interaction, being phony or pretending to have...

4. Relocating to McKinney area

   NurseMedic28 replied to KV317's topic in Texas

   I don't think there is a state law mandating pt to RN ratio. It's usually facility or unit specific. Ask the manager in the interview, then ask the nurses during the peer interview. See if they tell you the same thing. Like usual, it's more of an ide...

5. Relocating to McKinney area

   NurseMedic28 replied to KV317's topic in Texas

   I'm sorry to say that you will probably take a significant pay cut if you're looking for a benefitted staff RN position in this area . But like the other posters said, probably will be better pay to go through staffing companies and do contract/PRN w...

6. Baylor Pay-Is this a low offer?

   NurseMedic28 replied to syt245's topic in Texas

   They pay new grad interns with no experience 24.25. They are paying my friend with 9 months experience 24.98 I think. BUMC is one of the lowest paying hospitals in DFW. They tend to rest on their reputation and want people who want to work there beca...

7. New Rule: No work bags allowed in ER

10. Interviewers said I seem like a 'Know-It-All'???

    NurseMedic28 replied to NurseMedic28's topic in Professionalism

11. Interviewers said I seem like a 'Know-It-All'???

    NurseMedic28 replied to NurseMedic28's topic in Professionalism

    Yes, I have heard of it. I do believe I possess it. I have really great relationships with pretty much all my coworkers and patients open up to me easily. Do you mean practice interviewing?

12. Interviewers said I seem like a 'Know-It-All'???

    NurseMedic28 replied to NurseMedic28's topic in Professionalism

    Username was from an email handle I made when I was like 14. I just wasn't creative enough to come up with a different handle for AN. I'm not sure which posts you refer to. I have heard of video taping to practice for interviews, so thanks, that migh...

13. Workplace Cowardice

    NurseMedic28 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Relations

    ..."I'm not at liberty to discuss that." or "I don't quite recall the EXACT person who made the complaint/situation/when it happened" Ohhhhhhh, I've seen this happen far, farrrr too many times. Usually around the time that someone feels threatened b...

    NurseMedic28 replied to Jnateman's topic in General Nursing

    Is Excelsior College online program still running? I heard that you can transfer in like 95% of the credits, of course for a hefty fee, then take 1 or 2 classes there and voila, a patchwork degree! It may not be any cheaper than actually taking the c...

15. Interviewers said I seem like a 'Know-It-All'???

    NurseMedic28 posted a topic in Professionalism

    I had an interview the other day. They did not offer me the position. I got some feedback from HR. They said that the interviewers thought I came across as a Know-It-All? I was confused by this, because I thought that an interview is the time and pla...
