3. Best place for a new RN to work in Baton Rouge?

   nursemanit replied to geauxlsutigers's topic in Louisiana

   The job market is poor right now. There are still grads from last year looking for work. If you can get a job at 20/hour take it. In one year you can job shop as an experienced nurse.

   I did attend one night a week for the BSN, if you live in the BR or New Orleans areas you have to attend the BSN classes but I would ask since I have heard of some exceptions, the MSN classes give you the option of doing it online or in New Orleans....

   nursemanit replied to HididiScribbler's topic in Post Graduate

    nursemanit replied to dlo's topic in Men

    I can agree with most of the points about the "classic" theorists. Or as they are called now the Grand Theories. In the grand theories there are some pearls among the aggrandized concepts and made up words. I liked Betty Neuman's model of Primary, S...
