    MD married to RN replied to MomtaRN2B2020's topic in Emergency

    (I would have sent a PM but I do not yet have enough posts to do so.) Mary: You should be coming off orientation about now. Hope all is going well. Your first year will seem overwhelming....

  3. First NP job... Did you negotiate the salary?

    MD married to RN replied to RN/WI's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  4. First NP job... Did you negotiate the salary?

    MD married to RN replied to RN/WI's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    MD married to RN replied to guest1076655's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, hospitals that require 2 year contracts have often experienced high turnover for a reason--low pay, poor working conditions, toxic culture. If you lean toward PCU, make sure you...

  9. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    MD married to RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    MD married to RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My Wife took the NCLEX-RN in California on Thursday. Like many others she did the PVT and got the good pop-up at 1,4,8 and 24 hours. But she also went to the BreEZe site at 4,8 and 24 hours and...
