1. Resigned During Orientation - Advice Needed

   ERpinup replied to Bonnie007's topic in Critical

   I am planning on doing the same thing, resigning while on orientation. I have always worked days, I will pick up an occasional evening when needed, but I am not a night worker. (Hats off to those of you that work the overnight. It is not for me) I ...

2. BSN Programs while traveling

   ERpinup posted a topic in Travel

   I would like to obtain my BSN, and possibly more, while traveling. There are tons of online programs so I would like to know what are travelers favorites. I am sure there are tons of posts about it already but I would like to know anyway :-) Thank...

3. Cali license verification

   ERpinup posted a topic in Travel

   Anyone know of a quick way to have California verify your license? Can I go to Sacramento and hand them the paperwork and check for $100 and have it completed faster or just mail it in? Thanks again for everyone's advice and help!!

4. Licenses

   ERpinup replied to ERpinup's topic in Travel

   My thoughts exactly. It is a pain in the @$$ but I worked hard for mine and won't do anything to jeopardize it. Thanks NedRN!

5. Licenses

   ERpinup posted a topic in Travel

   So I am looking into maybe getting my New York license and Mass license. I have my home state (which is a compact ) and I also have my California license. For Mass it states all licenses need to be verified. California does not take part in NURSYS...

6. Patient Ratio

   ERpinup replied to ERpinup's topic in New York

   I understand they don't want to get penalized, was just wondering what people have dealt with. I can not fathom that a nurse in good faith would take an extreme number of patients that you can not handle safely. Thanks!

7. Patient Ratio

   ERpinup replied to ERpinup's topic in New York

   14-19 patient to nurse ratio......That seems extreme and extremely unsafe! I can not imagine that that is acceptable anywhere or that a nurse would actually take that many patients!

8. Patient Ratio

   ERpinup posted a topic in New York

   Just wondering if anyone can tell me the patient ratios for NYC ERs. Not looking at any hospitals specifically just trying to get a feel for it. THANKS

9. How long does it typically take to get a NYS RN license by endorsement?

   ERpinup replied to maryguy's topic in New York

   Do you have to complete the child abuse class? I think there was another one or maybe just that one but I am guessing you have to complete it also. It really doesn't say on the website for endorsement if you have to complete or not. Thanks!!

    Classicaldreams, I went to the conference last year and it was GREAT!!! I unfortuantely can't make it this year but would be there without a doubt if I could. Plus it's Vegas! :-) As far as the Live scan for California, I highly recommend it! I just...

13. California licensure endorsement verification

    ERpinup replied to Kirstinalyce's topic in Travel

    I have heard plenty a horror story on the wait for getting your license from California. I did a contract in Arizona and while there I went to California and had the live scan done. I had sent all other information before doing that. Got my licens...

    ERpinup replied to BecomingNursey's topic in Travel

    Hi!! I am just finishing my first travel assignment! I had a pretty good experience with mine. Once my recruiter submitted my info I talked with the facility that night and she told me over the phone she was going to call the agency and get everythi...

15. Las Vegas ER's

    ERpinup replied to trackhead's topic in Nevada

    I just saw this post and was wondering about Sunrise and what you mean by no lab? I am used to starting my own IVs but there are those occasional that are just difficult, what do they do in that case? Will the providers just do a femoral stick or s...
