1. Nursing shortage, where?

   sunbumjul replied to sunbumjul's topic in Career Support

   I don't mean to bring this up again, but there are no jobs open. Not even for MedSurg. Nothing. Zilch. Not sure how else to put it. Even the nursing recruiters are saying there is no shortage of new nurses just a shortage of experienced ones.

3. Nursing shortage, where?

   sunbumjul posted a topic in Career Support

   There really is no such thing as a nursing shortage, maybe it's just in my area, but I can't seem to get a job fast enough. I'm a new grade with about 6 months of ICU experience as an RN and 6 months Telemetry experience as a nurse extern. I couldn't...

4. seeking online teaching job

   sunbumjul replied to jwl300's topic in Educators

   I have my BSN and am still technically a new grade with a few months of ICU experience. I am interested in teaching online only nursing classes such as pharmacology. Is this possible with my degree and experience? If so, who can I contact? Where can ...

5. Copy of B-kat test.

   sunbumjul replied to sockov's topic in MICU

   I can't believe you asked for this. If you can't pass it you can't pass it. That test is a good way to judge if you are a safe critical care nurse or not. Sometimes these tests are in our best interest as well because we wouldn't want to loose our ha...

6. Negotiating visiting hours

   sunbumjul replied to marie7217's topic in MICU

   I have never had a problem with family members coming into the ICU anytime except during shift change and procedures. Otherwise, they should be able to visit their loved one anytime of day or n ight. So many times they're so sick they end up on their...

7. New Grad starting out in the SICU

   sunbumjul posted a topic in New Nurse

   I have to say that I absolutely love my job. I'm glad I started out in the ICU rather than going to the busy floor, but I do think it will be a long time before I feel comfortable doing what I do. I'm looking for a resource that I can carry around wi...

8. how soon should a new grad seek nurses insurance?

   sunbumjul replied to destiney's topic in New Nurse

   I too have thought about getting my own personal malpractice insurance. I used to get mine through NSO when I was in nursing school and never had a problem with them, though I never gave them a reason to. I'll probably sign up with them again.

9. IS a BSN from National University accredited enough for msn

   sunbumjul replied to CNAlady's topic in CNM

   CNAlady, what cohort are you in? Have you completed your BSN? Are you currently working as an RN? To answer your question, once you complete your BSN degree from NU it will transfer to other institutions. NU is accredited; therefore, once you get you...

11. how expensive is california? CAN A NURSE MANAGE WITH HER WAGE??

    sunbumjul replied to curlysin's topic in California

    This is probably the most informative thread I've read so far regarding salaries. Just so you know, San Diego pays new grads $28.25 for Scripps and $26.75 for Sharp. Both with a $4 nights differential and NO sign on bonus. The weather here is gorgeou...

12. Full Code Help Please

    sunbumjul replied to jenplpn05's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt that all the nurses would be sued; however, if the nurse in charge of the patient was not performing her duties I could only imagine she could be sued and have to prove herself innocent in court.

    So what would you suggest for me?

    sunbumjul replied to sunbumjul's topic in General Students

    The main complaint I have from every clinical instructor so far is to assert myself more. For example, if a nurse I'm assigned to does not let me pass meds with her I need to find a new nurse who will let me pass meds.

    sunbumjul posted a topic in General Students

    I have been reading the forums for a while now, but never participated and I thought I would ask a couple questions. A little history on me before we start, I am a nursing student (half way through the program) and am in Pediatrics now. I have six mo...
