  1. Getting references after many years...

    I had the same issue and I told the schools that. The ones I applied to said I could use the nurse educator for my unit or the nurse that monitors ongoing
  2. Moving to Tulsa: Best Hospitals? Job market outlook?

    None of the hospitals are bad to work for, IMO. If you like oncology, since you have experience, I would personally apply to Cancer Tx Center in Tulsa. I interviewed there a long time ago and was...
  3. Nursing@Simmons

    Terese, I applied for January and that application cycle deadline was in November. When did you apply and for what cohort? The biology class I have to take is 8 weeks long, starts in January. I have...
  4. Nursing@Simmons

    Thanks for the info, preppyrn, that is very encouraging. I found out that the course is 8 weeks long. Terese, you will probably be asked to take it if you made lower grades in sciences or it has been...

    According to IRS rules you can legally only take the stipend for the days you are away from home. If you stay away from home for 3 nights, that's the amount you are allowed to take (you are still...
  11. Is this right?

    Traveling with pets truly does make things much more difficult. I would insist though that I be connected to the housing person as soon as I signed my work contract if I was going to take company...
  12. Is this right for an ER position in Torrance, CA

    If you housing is provided, that's not a bad deal. What is a bad deal is the amount given for taxed purposes. I know it's tempting to get such a high amount that is non-taxed, but I agree with...
  13. IYO: Which would be a better senario

    I would be very surprised to hear of anyone without ICU experience could landing any ICU contract position. Hospitals EXPECT the traveler to essentially walk in the door and start taking care of...
  14. I have taken a telephone order for DNR as well (with a second nurse on the phone as a witness). Both nurses sign off in the chart as hearing the order. I have never worked in FL so I can't speak...
