I just started working home health & get $45 per visit + mileage but mileage isn't paid on the 1st visit of every day and one of my patients is 45 miles out. No insurance, 401K, continuing ED...
Probably, because they knew they were doing something wrong and want to keep other nurses blind to what's going on. However, no identifiers posted so they can't trace without
Because that person had very little experience and it was only in an out-patient dialysis unit. If clinical experience is all that's required to teach, why would schools require MSN's to teach RN's?...
I requested to see my records as a patient back in the early 90's. The nurses seemed upset by this, but I was allowed to see them. I wasn't checking up on the nurses, I was checking up on the doctors....

This is horrifying and should be reported immediately! Racist remarks have no place in today's society and these instructors need to be fired! The instructors are the ones that are not professional....
I am 57 and have finally reached my last semester. I began my career in medicine when I was 19 working as an EMT and then paramedics. Back in those days, women were only just beginning to work in...
I applied to Brookhaven and Mountain View for Spring 2019 semester. I had 32.5 points for Brookhaven and did not even get an interview. I don't remember my exact points for Mountain View but I think...

I would take Mountain View over El Centro any day. El Centro supposedly made all kinds of changes since they got suspended but if you look at their website, they're still using the same screening...

Actually, my first choice was Brookhaven because it's closer to my house & it only takes 16 months to complete but I didn't have enough points. I also applied to Tarrant County & Mountain View...

Oh, I didn't know that. I was going off of the website that said they admitted 50 per semester. I was told my Prof Kinsey that a lot of people were lost in the first semester because of pharmacology...

Good luck to all that got in for Spring 2019! I noticed that only about half of each class makes it to graduation. I have several nurses in may family and they all say nursing school is the most...

So strange, I got my email Sat night after 9 pm! I didn't get accepted but that's ok because I had already been accepted to Tarrant County. I would have preferred Mountain View for several reasons but...
I got in for Spring 2019. I did not opt for the hybrid classes because I think online classes can be harder, depending on the subject. Does anybody know if a watch is mandatory or if we can use a clip...

You could still get in if others turn down their acceptance. Since nursing is so hard to get into, your odds of getting in are better if you apply to several schools. I applied to 3 and it took me 2...
