thanks for the replies. so, the vent would continue to deliver breaths whether or not pt. was breathing (of course the breaths wouldn't oxygenate pt. but they Would continue.) in short, if i look into a room with a vent dependent pt, just because th...

hiya. thanks so much for the time you put into these posts on the North Shore Fellowship...I may be following you in a sense - that is, working as a new grad RN in that hospital, although icu may be a year or so down the line...is the pay reduced wh...

DC2RN, I'm a new grad RN and may soon be following in your footsteps...from your experience, what were the best parts of your experiences there. what would you do differently if you had it to do over? many thanks, jetson

Thanks in advance for your time and help... ...My wife and I hope to move to New London, CT in the next couple months. I am a newly graduated RN and expect to pass nclex within a few weeks. Ideally, I'd start my RN career on a med/surg unit in a hosp...

Greetings. Just finished my RN studies in Minneapolis; should (?!) pass NCLEX within the next month or so. My wife and I are planning a move to New London because she loves the city. Myself, I need to start my RN career on a med/surg floor - ideally...

thanks much for your helpful suggestions. will follow advice. was unsure about malpractice insurance...my co-workers shrugged when asked, again with the "don't worry about it." have completed (!) my RN classes (as of Wed 3:30 pm) and only await m...

"...don't worry about it." However, I am soliciting 2nd opinions.

also had a Great experience at the MPLS VA through two clinical rotations. Vets rock indeed. But working there required that one jump through quite a number of flaming hoops...it'd be worth jumping through them though...

hi y'all...i've been lurking on these boards for a while...started chipping away at nursing program pre-reqs five years ago...have been working as an LPN...hope to complete my last class for AD RN this fall - it's a clinical rotation at HCMC...i'm a ...

hi there. I'll be graduating in five months as an RN. It seems the consistent advice I get from those who should know indicate that a couple years of solid Med/Surg upon graduation are in order...Is this the case? Was this your experience? Have also...

thanks to all for their input on this thread. it has broadened my thinking and presented options I didn't know existed. would still appreciate additional insights/advice -- ty!

MCTC student...will finish RN coursework with completion of one more clinical rotation this fall. Just started my first nursing gig (as LPN) at Good Samaritan in St.Paul. Anybody ever work there?

i took a quick peek at the MN BON website. i looks like about a hundred bucks can get one a "licensure by endorsement" from any other state including WI...so you could take the boards in either place...

pass it on when you're done...i need it too after my abject and utter failure at the nclex this morning. yrrgh! i can't believe how stupid, incompetent and uneducated i am...what was i thinking? if i weren't so macho (laugh) i'd be weeping like a b...

sorry to veer a bit off topic but...i just completed classes that allow me to take the LPN state boards but don't know the order of the steps to come...do we wait for the ATT to arrive from our school before we can schedule the board test? thanks...
