nightingale RN

RN in 08, have you worked as a Nurse yet in Colorado? I am just curious.

I have moved your thread to the International Forum.

The course cost, with the VIP package, IMHO, is well worth it. I have enough material to be certified for five years. Ther material covers everything I could imagine at this early date. I do wish I had studied more before I went. I do a lot of contr...

From the get go, they sound difficult. Have you told them to not call every day? I would tell them you will get back with them.

I do not know of a website but I can tell you what works. Ask the facility that you want to contract with for the form they use. It will have information that is outlined for their state and what is important information that they are used to in thei...

I pay $ 300 annually with NSO as an RN. I hope there is some competion out there with a better rate for you.

Please keep the conversation on the Bulletin Board. Asking posters to PM you for details does not do this. The purpose of this Forum is maintain an open ended conversations. Encouraging posters to have private dialogue does not do this. So please, ke...

I do not really see it that often. When I do see harshness, it is usually towards everyone and that is a personal issue that person has against other people and Nurses across the board. I have seen, from many Nursing Schools on, the critiquing and st...

It is a very personal preference. You outweigh the pros and the cons. It is not for everyone but has been my preference for many years.

Turbulent flush is recommended but I am an old Nurse.... maybe that is old information Perhaps we will hear from and instructor or someone who may be involved in the most up to date info.

Often, the school has worked out discounts for Uniforms and Supplies at designated stores. Perhaps, the book store will have discounts for you at school. Good luck to you.

I regularly "hear" starting salaried here are poor. Supposedly, because of the beauty of Colorado, the wages for Nurses are low. We shall have to hear from someone in the area about that for new Nurse salaries. Read through these Colorado Nurse posts...

You could have a room mate or rent a room for yourself. You will want to keep all receipts and show how you have had to maintain another living arrangement.

I have worked Agency at Denver Health (and many other facilities there); I would recommend applying there. They can be hard to pin down to get and interview. I am familiar with the Lakewood area of Denver. Nice neighborhoods, easy access to freeway a...

It sounds like you have worked in more then one facility. Fours years experience is very helpful and a good amount. Sometimes the skills needed for one facility vary a lot with your background. It sounds like you do have experience in Rehab Nursing a...

Bonded and Insured is a type of insurance to cover your liability against loss for the patient. There are many issues that need to be discussed. It is not like being an employee, showing up for work, getting training from your company etc... You need...

You should maintain a home base. Among many reasons, and you sited having a place that is "home" and that is, IMHO, a very important reason; You should also realize that to claim the tax credits that Travelers love, you need to have a residence > ...

I have heard, the south pays less then the coast (east and west). I am unfamiliar with the area, specifically. In general the rate sounds a little low. Hopefully we will hear from someone directly working in Atlanta. There is a Georgia Nurses Forum, ...

I do not think it is quite that high for Staff; it would be nice though. The Critical Care areas of Nursing do pay the top dollar. I ran into a colleague who is a strong ICU Nurse. The ICU Nurse is just outside of Los Angeles and he is making $ 62.00...

I know ON Assignment has some IHS (Indian Health Services) contracts. I have often thought of working at the facility in Shiprock, New Mexico. I am sure there are other agencies who work with IHS. I have heard good things about On Assignment; perhaps...

California Correctional Nursing, I have heard, pays the highest wages. They also use Agency but I am not familiar with which one. When these high wages are quoted, it is because of overtime which is plentiful. Try doing the math; when you owrk over 6...
