1. PRN Hour Requirements?

   kgg6 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hey! Just curious for any Cleveland area nurses: what are the PRN hourly requirements where you work? I've heard some places have been increasing their time committments, so many are now requiring about 12 hours per week for their PRN employees. Metr...

   Hey! I was just wondering if anyone else is applying to Class 142 at Frontier, either Midwifery or FNP? I'm submitting all of my materials tomorrow. Good luck, everyone!

   kgg6 replied to kgg6's topic in Government

   Congratulations! I'm so glad for you! Did they give you any details on how you're going to start, or what happens when? Was it your recruiter you heard from, or someone else entirely? Again, congrats!

5. General New Grad Application Posting

   kgg6 replied to kgg6's topic in General Nursing

   This is good advice. I'm an NA at a large hospital now, so when I speak with a recruiter in HR I can ask them how L and D feels about New Grads. I made a few connections when I had clinicals there, but I'm unsure how to 'network' with the nursing con...

6. New Grads VA Hiring

   kgg6 replied to kgg6's topic in Government

   Thank you for the responses! I was wondering if I could begin the application process in, say, April, even though I will probably take the NCLEX in June. But it sounds like I could only start the process after I pass -- which makes sense -- but like ...

7. MAGNET Designation

   kgg6 replied to kgg6's topic in Professionalism

   That's an excellent point, guys. I'm going to go through the presentation for the citation and ask the prof if need be. I'll get back to you with the resource (and whether it was valid or not, which is a point well worth asking)

8. New Grads VA Hiring

   kgg6 posted a topic in Government

   Would anyone happen to know if the VA ever hires new grads? Does anyone have any good links on how to create a nursing resume that the finicky usajobs.gov will not filter out? Or is there no point to applying until after one has passed the NCLEX and ...

9. Sigma Theta Tau Benefits

   Thank you, that was helpful!

10. MAGNET Designation

    kgg6 posted a topic in Professionalism

    Something interesting I learned in class today -- RNs at Magnet designated hospitals have lower job satisfaction rates than hospitals without that designation. We discussed possible reasons for this, and it seems like RNs at these hospitals are expec...

11. Transition for NA to RN

    kgg6 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone here transitioned from working as a PCNA (or the equivalent) to working as an RN on the same unit? Was it difficult to get used to a new role, and was the staff around you accepting of your new role?

12. Sigma Theta Tau Benefits

    kgg6 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has everyone found lifelong membership of Sigma Theta Tau to be beneficial? Are there any scholarships or grants that you were able to apply for, and do employers like to know that a RN is a member of this honors society? Thanks, I was just curious!

13. New Grad Advice

    kgg6 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm about to graduate from Nursing School! Any advice to a new grad getting started? Things you wish someone had told you about starting your career path?

14. General New Grad Application Posting

    kgg6 replied to kgg6's topic in General Nursing

    I would prefer to start in L and D. However, if the position I am able to get is in another field then I would like to stay on that unit for several years before transferring to L and D. I understand the L and D jobs are much harder to get, so if I f...

15. General New Grad Application Posting

    kgg6 posted a topic in General Nursing

    It seems that large hospitals have 'general application for new grads'. I would be especially interested in working on L and D, but I understand this work is more difficult to find than med-surg or acute care. Should I leave certain things off my res...
