From Alabama also. As far as I have seen most all the hospitals in Alabama interview and HIRE ADNs. You could always get your BSN/MSN online while you work as an ADN. Alabama, UAB, Troy, USA all have the BSN/MSN online programs. Just saying...
Baptist South is in an extremely high crime area. I know 2 nurses that have gone to work there but neither have said if they were happy. One was a new grad and the other exp ICU nurse. Husband was there about 7 years ago and had to call the lawyer to...

Lynx25...I understand what you are saying. However, we do not have that problem. As RNs one of us is making rounds every hour. And it takes an hour to an hour and a half to talk to all residents. Time depends on activities going on and whether it is ...

Thank you, glutton4punishment! There just seems to be so much negativity and not liking jobs. This is a tough economy. It's amazing what a positive attitude can help you accomplish. Like I said. This would not have been my first choice. My love is ER...

I am a new grad and my first job is in a LTC. Yes, I am one of the grads who swore in NS that I would "NEVER" work in a nursing home. What is the saying, never say never! I absolutely adore my job! Not everyone is cut out for LTC. Med pass can get ov...
