    ILUVERNSG replied to HermioneG's topic in Emergency

    Congratulations my dear! ER is the best, most fun area to work (imho). Let me suggest that you get yourself some resource texts; Sheehy's is good and the Core Curriculum for Emergency Nursing. Get...

    ILUVERNSG replied to lellomere's topic in General Nursing

    Can you estimate the number of hours it would take to create these materials, including any revisions? Multiply that times the hourly rate you have received in the past as an educator. That seems...

    ILUVERNSG replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't know about California, but in my state they just passed the mandate making BSN the entry level into practice. They now have even more of an advantage when competing in the job market with...

    ILUVERNSG replied to momo42's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Correct me if I'm wrong here but nursing agencies don't hire nurses without any work experience. Even a seasoned nurse must have recent (within one year) experience. Agencies want experienced...

    ILUVERNSG replied to Ideasfordays's topic in General Nursing

    You're still so new- a novice nurse. What's the rush? You'll have a DNP without a lot of real life nursing experience to back it
