    Affordable CEU's

    Mergirlc replied to sseagle22's topic in General Nursing

    There are a lot of companies out there that will do the trick. Right off the top of my head there is NetCE and CEUFast. I believe CEUFast is very reasonable

    Mergirlc replied to PMXGN92's topic in General Students

    To add to what has already been said, another thing to think about is life after you attend and graduate school, pass NCLEX, and get licensed. Is the schedule of a nurse going to fit with your life?...

    How do you feel about being asked to shadow in addition to interview?

    Mergirlc replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    As long as it is observation only, and not actual work, I think it's a great idea. This will give you an opportunity to see what the floor is like and how your future coworkers interact with each...

    I want to work outpatient, help!

    Mergirlc replied to Sweetpea04's topic in General Nursing

    If cold-calling is not working for you, maybe look into talking to a recruitment agency/company? They sometimes have leads on jobs which aren't published. At least this way, you can tell the...

    New grad residency program question

    Mergirlc replied to Mcousins2009's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    Pretty sure, or you know as a fact? Pretty sure is not "Yes, you have it." I would suggest you get ahold of the hiring manager of the OR, again, and let her know your situation. You can phrase...

    "There are also some prerequisites that are not offered at any colleges near me. Do you know how I can fulfil prerequisites like that?" The California Community College system is vast. You just...

    "Should I just finish my undergrad as a backup while fulfilling prerequisites, and then do an ABSN? Or should I just switch towards finishing prerequisites as fast as possible and apply to a...

    New grad nurse needs some advice! Which one is good?

    Mergirlc replied to Linhtp's topic in General Nursing

    There's never such a thing as "too much training." Always go w/ the job that incorporates more training time/hours, if

    NCLEX w/o graduating

    Mergirlc replied to Crazy Person 999's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Probably not. Majority of schools always have some type of exit exam one must pass. If you do not pass, contact your professors or the director and ask if you can retake it, even if you have to...

    Mergirlc replied to pastudent's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^^ Agree w/ the above. It's not the EPIC EHR company which is preventing you from working. It's your previous employer's healthcare/hospital/facility and/or healthcare system and its possible...

    Prior employer restricting EPIC access for new job/employer

    Mergirlc replied to pastudent's topic in General Nursing

    Based on what you added above, there may be some things to consider as to why the other RNs were removed, while you have not been. Were the other RNs regular employees who worked for the hospital and...

    Prior employer restricting EPIC access for new job/employer

    Mergirlc replied to pastudent's topic in General Nursing

    This does not strike me as retaliation. If you did not give four weeks notice and that is what your prior job required, then for their records they put you on the "do not rehire" list and that is...

    Mergirlc replied to RNstudent_SarBear's topic in United Kingdom

    I know nothing about UK nursing, but I might suggest if you can stay and get maybe 2 or so years experience in the USA first, this would be in your favor. Based on the various posts I've come...
