All you did was take the NCLEX. Pearson Vue has your exam results but they don’t issue your nursing license. Each state has its own Board of Nursing and licensure requirements. In order to have the license post in California, you have to apply to the...

No sympathy for you from me. Get vaccinated or find another place to nurse that will accept your pseudoscience research regarding Covid vaccinations. Choices have consequences- suck it up Buttercup

This is not bullying- your hospital has a procedure/policy in place for Covid accommodations - you haven’t completed the process, yet fault the employer. Many nurses have underlying conditions that make them more prone to Covid. Start the exemption/a...

Or where that text will ultimately land up in the future. Much better to have these kinds of conversations in person.

Did you find a preceptor?

The CA BRN has a portal that schools use to upload applications and documents. Your school should be able to upload your transcript directly to the BRN.

I also use enthusiasm, metaphors, stories and memes and I generally feel as if my students are engaged. I also use humor which helps to keep everyone in a good mood during lectures. Of course there are always a select few students who won’t engage, f...

I have always had a “side gig” on the weekend (I teach on- ground Mon through Friday). Being in the clinical area keeps me engaged and definitely allows me to be more authentic with my students about what is currently happening in health care. I also...

As a successful nursing manager, with a well functioning unit, I have to agree with this statement. Hopefully OP will get an opportunity to work again in acute care.

This is my impression also- not a snowball's chance that you will get a different position with this hospital. Move on and look somewhere else.

As a white woman, I concur. Except white MALES have been over-represented in healthcare studies as a percentage of the population.  Women, of any color, have been shamefully absent in many research and pharmaceutical trials.

Make sure you pay special attention to where there are shortages of PCPs. I live in a large city in California and NPs are having difficulty finding positions- many are in direct competition with PAs for some practice areas. The more rural areas are ...

I am faculty here in California and I took a significant pay cut to teach. I work a per diem gig on the weekend to make up the difference.

This 100% ^^^^^

The EdD is not being phased out in nursing- please cite your source for this assertion. Also- EdD is not a heavy research degree.

This was exactly my reasoning when I decided to go for the terminal degree. My EdD has allowed me to teach in a program I love

And prison time- no plea deal with extended probation.

Unless the surgery/meds/procedures are being done with taxpayer sponsored insurance ( e.g.Medicaid), then it is the business of more than just the parents.

We are never scheduled for more than a 12 hour shift- sometimes we stay longer if closing the clinic and someone has transportation or blood pressure issues. I don’t mind because anytime over 12 hours is paid at double time (California)

Sorry I am late to this discussion but 100% what Chisca said ^^^. I am a dialysis nurse and am very aware of my lab values. So easy to give the blood while in dialysis. Also the MD needed to order a PICC line or some other form of access for IV fluid...

Davita in California has the exact requirements for new grads/new nurses. We take a lot of new grads and they do really well.

Davita is 12 hour shifts- start times depends on clinic. There is 16 week+class and clinic time for training. You learn to be a PCT for like the 1st 8 weeks or so, then do your RN orientation.

I am in the chronic clinic with DaVita in California. We work 12 hour shifts. I love this job- just enough challenge mentally and I get to really know my patients. A salary range would not be accurate because we usually make more per hour in health c...
