A few of the State Universities have outright said they're overhauling and replacing some of their MSN programs with the DNP. Why fund MSN programs when the trend is towards DNPs is the understanding...

On of our physicians recently made the statement that he didn't consider a particular ER admit to be appropriate for inpatient care. He called himself, "the conveyor belt operator of (name of...

So, say I can run a 5k and my normal BMI co-worker gets out of breath walking a flight of stairs. Do they still get the discount? BMI is a joke. Easy to calculate and assign, but a horrible indicaor...

Hey all, I'm a recent grad and I'm coming up on my six months on my MS unit. I pick up OT every little while, but I'm looking for something "different". What were/are your favorite positions...

Any recommendations for agencies in the Panhandle?

Thanks for the feedback. UVA grad, I was planning on attending a local BSN program (cost and convenience) that has hybrid classes for exactly the reasons you describe. Not sure if I'll ever pursue a...

Hi all, As long as a program has CCNE or NLN accrediation, do employers really care about where the degree is from as long as I'm actively engaged in practice and licensed? On a second note,...

Check thrifts near facilities (and I mean LTC, psych everything). I've had no luck near where I live but I'll find some at the thrifts near facilities. (people dropping things off after work,...

I graduated in May. Licensed in June. Took the first acute care position offered to me on a low acuity ortho/neuro floor. I could have been picky, but then I'd be like a lot of my fellow graduates...

Whenever someone is looking into for profit schools I like to reference them to the GAO summary on their investigation into the recruiting and sales practices of for profits. Not to say that they all...

I learned to "game" the HR personality tests so I could at least get an interview. It worked in retail and it worked in nursing. Like any test, you can learn to take it if you've had enough of them...

Seconded. Unless you have to move (family) or you already have a job the Florida market is horrible for even experienced nurses. Unless you were a tech, I don't know of any hospital that will...

I paid for my first BA by working 50 hours a week because I didn't qualify for assistance (too middle class), didn't want to be burdened with loan repayments, and didn't want to burden my parents who...

Hello all, I wanted to know from those who have expirence in the Air Force how likely is it that if I commission as Med/surg (by the time I'm ready i'll have 2 years on a floor) and train into ICU...

Before you consider Concord do some research about it's history and the GAO investigation regarding their admissions practices. If you still feel it is right for you, be sure to ask if you can talk...

If you can I second dual enrollment! It was the best choice I ever made.

Regarding schools, if you know which hospital you want to work at in the future, call the HR department and ask which schools they prefer to hire from and if there are any they refuse to hire from....

As a new grad, you'll likely not be negotiating anything. Most hospitals in Florida have a set payscale especially for new grads.

I live in a hurricane zone and a evac zone for cat-3s (have all my life). I keep a 24 pack of water, three days of food and three changes of clothes plus a good small but useful hunting knife and...

Thanks, I think the last two are the closest. Why oh why can't they all just use the same color name ;)

I always ask for before team, but seeing as I live in a 1st evac zone I'd be tossed out by the PD during a storm anyway. Might as well get paid to do it. See if there is someway to get someone to...

You need to speak spanish, creole or both to get hired in miami proper. If you don't know either you're fighting an uphill battle.

Do you speak spanish or creole? Chances of getting hired in MIA without one or the other is slim, but not impossible.

Do you mean that PBAU is doesn't exist? As for FNC, I agree.

Well, I got my first position after graduating this May on the day shift at a large hospital (yea me!). Knowing how it can be out there I took it, however, I am so far from a morning person it's...
