  3. SO EXCITED to start Nursing School!

    Today I had to drive almost an hour (100 miles round trip!) to get to the only store near me that carries scrubs. I dutifully brought in the list of approved brands & colors, picked out a bunch of styles, and went into the dressing room. Lookin...
  4. WHERE are the CNL's??????

    It's a bit of a read, but the "White Paper on the Role of the Clinical Nurse Leader" gives a very clear outline of the CNL role. Tremendously helpful if you're starting a CNL program (I'm starting one in February). While the CNL role has been very c...
  5. WHERE are the CNL's??????

    We've got TONS of CNL programs out here in California. The VA is really big on hiring them. There was another thread somewhere on here saying that some CNS's were getting replaced by CNL's. Since this is a generalist MSN, CNL's don't get paid muc...

  9. Nursing specialities most receptive to CAM & holistic nursing?

    I have to admit, after thinking about this for a moment, that if someone was going to throw out my resume because it mentioned the word "holistic," especially since holistic nursing IS a recognized specialty, I probably wouldn't want to work there a...
  10. Nursing specialities most receptive to CAM & holistic nursing?

    I think it really depends where you are. I just spoke with an oncology RN here in California who is looking at job openings in New Mexico. She said of a majority of the oncology RN postings down there said, "Holistic Certification preferred" which...
  11. Nursing specialities most receptive to CAM & holistic nursing?

  12. Stanford New Grad program

    About 3 years ago, my boyfriend's sister was hired as a new-grad ADN and worked at Stanford for a year before transferring to a hospital closer to home. The times are changing rapidly...
  13. OCN certification...does it really make a difference?

    I'm an RN student interested in Oncology and recently submitted my application for a student ONS membership. I figure even if I don't get hired on an Onc floor as a new grad, it still shows my interest/dedication to the specialty. This also give me ...
