1. PHN Certificate- is it worth getting it?

   Jadebsn replied to FutRNRock's topic in General Nursing

   Hello, I have my PHN (in California) and am very glad I did it. I believe it has shown employers that I am open to working with different populations, and did the little extra to earn the certification. It also comes in handy in jobs that are fu...

   Jadebsn replied to lovey0830's topic in Operating Room

   Where I work we make half of our regular pay for call and 1.5 for the first call of the week. The second and more is 2x. After reading all these posts I feel very lucky!

4. WA licensure - fingerprint results taking forever?

   Jadebsn replied to lolo724's topic in Washington

   Wow, I am sorry this is happening to you! I hate to say this, but my fingerprints were rejected for bad quality and it took some time for them to notify me. I don't know if this is the case, but I didn't have to pay the place that took my fingerprint...

9. $30/hour for new grads in Seattle?

   Jadebsn replied to rowyie's topic in General Nursing

   As a new grad/BSN/RN that has been applying to Seattle hospital programs, I can confirm that the starting pay at most hospitals is $30 to $34 to start, plus differentials, and probably has better perks than the facility you are speaking of. IMO a hos...
