If you can't hack 12 hour shifts and that's all that hospitals have...I don't really see the mystery? I bet you could get a job as a staff nurse in LTC any day, and those are usually 8 hours so it's less on your feet on a daily basis...but expecting ...
El Centro is still seen positively by most employers in the community. However a lot more hospitals are wanting BSN now so even the ones who hire ADNs are making you sign a promise to get it. BUMC only hired internal candidates with an ADN. And UTSW ...
The school offers clinicals at some area hospitals but due to issues with faculty rudeness they have lost a few sites. Bridgers only get to choose peds OR OB, iff you choose peds clinical, it likely won't be at a hospital, you will go to a doctor's o...
I graduated from the bridge program (with honors, before anyone calls any of this sour grapes.) It's extreeeeemely disorganized. Get ready to annoy your employer with constant last minute schedule changes, things taking hours longer than they are su...

I am an LVN already; I applied at several hospitals for tech and monitor clerk types of positions trying to get my foot in the door but they won't hire me to work below my licensure and the ones that do hire LVNs won't hire me as an LVN because I don...
Just want to hear input about where I should target my job search after I graduate I've done some research but I also heard in clinicals that some of the hospitals that say on their websites that only hire BSN outright, actually will hire you with a...

I was confused by the abbreviations when I was a new grad--my program didn't teach us any because "you're not supposed to abbreviate!" Then I got in the real world of SNF where everything is abbreviated. One way I got myself up to speed was reading a...
A facility I worked at previously decided we couldn't use our own equipment. They bought 2 Dynamaps to be used for 120 residents. :facepalm:And the medaides commandeered them for 95% of the shift so it was just ridiculous for them to be threatening n...
