    Is this type of schedule common?

    I sometimes do 7 on 7 off, 12 hour shifts. I cannot imagine 2 weeks on/off unless it's at some remote outpost with a lot of downtime.

    Nurses who can't find work.

    Tucson Nursing Schools-HELP!/Experience with PMI?

    I would try to avoid a school like PMI if you can. It's expensive, and the reputation isn't that great. These are two bad things in a bad job market. I dropped out of college 3 times many, many years ago. I then returned to school and attended a...

    Is Banner Health hiring ADN new grads?

    If you get an ADN you are probably going to have to go rural to get a job. Then you can earn your RN-BSN and get experience, and move back to an urban area if you like.

    Anyone NOT work during NP program?

    My DNP adviser recommends quitting one's job when beginning the clinical portion during the last half of the program. He says it's almost impossible to work then. But most do work during the first half of the program (didactic).

    ADN vs. BSN - patient mortality rates

    No, let's not. Let's keep discussing it until professional nurses realize and admit more education is better for the patients we care for. It may take 20 years - but eventually we will get there and get out of a vocational mindset.

    ADN vs. BSN - patient mortality rates

    Individual nurses will vary regardless of educational level. Overall, more education is better. I started as an ADN-RN and finished the BSN later. I support BSN for entry to practice.
