I think it depends on the company you get the job with as far as if it has to be in your state or picking up your kids. Like I said I ended up with a job in utilization review, not telehealth. I would also seriously consider if you’re okay with the phone time and dealing with potentially rude people all day before getting a job with phone time. My job in utilization has very little phone time and I’m SO grateful now I didn’t pursue telehealth.

Not that I know of.

At the time of my interview they actually never called me and I had to email them which was a huge red flag for me, so I decided to not interview with the company. I instead ended up landing a job as a utilization review nurse. I work from home now M-F. Best job I could’ve landed. I love it.

Thanks I hope so too! I’ll definitely be asking questions about it tomorrow during my interview!

Hello all. I’ve been a nurse for over 2 years, have about 1.5 years of experience at the bedside and 8 months of experience in substance abuse. I’m currently at the bedside and am getting burned out. I have an interview for a telehealth position. I am wondering what everyone’s experience is doing telehealth? This is for a company where you assist the bedside nurse virtually. I’ve heard telehealth can be demanding, but is it less demanding than the bedside? I’m looking for a change and something not quite as demanding as the bedside. TIA!

Hi everyone, I need some advice. I am a new nurse they started my job early this year. Anyway, I hate where I work and it’s constantly getting worse. I signed a 2 year contract in order to get a residency program, which I didn’t fully get. Because of COVID, I didn’t get the classes promised to me. I think that would mean they technically broke the contract, right? I’m going to request a copy of it soon in order to review it with a lawyer. Anyway, my job is terrible and it’s just getting worse. I’m on a Meg surg floor which by itself is hard, but now (after only being on my own and off of residency 1 month), they’ve started allowing us to float to covid units as well. I’m not even comfortable on my own unit! And the covid unit I floated to had unsafe conditions. I really felt like my license was in jeopardy. I’m starting to feel like I’m just a body there - that I’m expendable. I really don’t feel cared for. After working the covid unit I came home and had a breakdown. I feel like my mental health is in jeopardy. Has anyone ever attempted to get out of their contract? What was the process like?

Classes are three days a week. Morning only. You do not get to choose your schedule or your clinical days. Theory/Lecture class is one day a week 5-6 hour day, and Lab/Clinicals are two days a week 8 hour days.

Buy the practice tests off of ATI. They really helped me a lot. I also used Mometrix Book and Kaplan ATI Teas Strategies book. Good luck!

You mean the lowest? The lowest composite score I heard of that was accepted to west campus was an 80, I believe. Porter Campus was higher.

Last Spring they started taking applications in mid-April and the last day to apply was around May 8th. Hope that helps. :)

@mclastro No! Do you know someone who would be willing??

No, it'll come by email.

I got mine as well. I already went through it and imma bit overwhelmed! It's a lot!

Hi, I have a question! Did anyone get accepted into Porter that really wants to go to West? I have a friend who got accepted into West, but she lives so much closer to Porter. She really wants to swap with someone! Please let me know, and I'll put you in touch with her.

They sent all the acceptances out last week. You might be waitlisted, so it is still possible you'll get in. Watch for an email or a call.
