Hi, I am a PMHNP that works in child and adolescent psychiatry. I have a full-time job, but I'm curious if there are jobs out there (prefer telehealth) to work PRN for extra money. I'm having a hard time finding something specifically for weeke...

Maybe the OP was trying to seek out nurses who have experience with this phenomenon on a daily basis as they are adjusting to their role as an ICU nurse. Just think! All that time you spent writing your sassy reply you could have spent...gasp!...help...

Notice how CRNA programs don't have schools like this? Yet they make the most in the nursing industry. There are so many posts about FNPs not making enough, yet they seem to be the focus of these for-profit schools. I would be curious to see what wou...

We have switched to bedside report and this has eliminated a lot of these problems. I wonder if other people that do bedside report continue to have these same problems or if they have improved?

I have never thought of Danskos to be very comfortable when I tried them on. I bought some shoes made by nursemates and they are WONDERFUL!

I would think of some amazingly brilliant idea and then go strike a major deal on "The Shark Tank" and become a millionaire :)

I'm interested in working for one when I graduate can anyone give me any info on staffing ratios, rate of pay, and any other useful info for me? Thanks everyone!

My advise is to not attend either one. Go for your associates RN at a community college ( a fraction of the price of globe university ) or choose a state university if you want to get your BSN. MN is so saturated with nurses right now, but some are s...

I'm sorry, but it is not a college's responsibility to hold your hand and guarantee a job for you. Maybe you should sue the people who won't hire you instead, they probably have a lot more money than your school!

There are no schools in st. cloud where you can get your ADN. St. Cloud State has a BSN program, but I know you don't want to wait that long. Central Lakes college in Brainerd or Anoka Ramsey Com. College in Coon Rapids are the two closest to you in ...

People if you don't want to help this girl answer her question then MOVE ON!! No one is forcing you to answer this question for her so instead of berating her for posting it on a PUBLIC FORUM why don't you just not respond to it and get on with your...

I have heard wonderful things about Bethel's RN to BSN program from several nurses :)

Hey everyone, I'm feeling really bummed out about trying to become a nurse! I was going to go to Chaffey, but I absolutely have to work full time and the only ft jobs that I can find that can actually support my rent/bill payments are during th...

I'm so sorry for your situation. My brother is bi-polar and his alcoholism makes the highs and lows a nightmare sometimes. There are times that he will make grandoise statements of things he is going to accomplish, which are usually too ambitious for...

I'm just saying that for people who receive high quality insurance from their employer will probably not have it, because their employer will stop buying that insurance plan and opt for the cheaper government option. If they do this then the people w...

This bill will help nurses find jobs, but do you think there will be any incentive to become a doctor with this bill? Will it create a shortage of doctors? Do you think that this will give incentives for companies to create new medical devices that c...

I really would not get my hopes up too high. Not to sound like a downer, but the new grad RN market is terrible right now. There have been major lay offs at almost all major hospitals.These specialty areas will probably not hire a new grad. If I were...

I know! Those stupid pills clog the j-tubes all the time at my work. Also, when you crush the pills and soak them in warm water draw the solution up in a 10 ml syringe. If it goes up the 10 ml syringe ok then it probably won't clog the tube. If you h...

I wonder if validating their feelings would be helpful at all? For example saying something along the lines of "It sounds like you are concerned that staff are not providing the right care to your loved one?" or maybe "Are you concerned that I haven ...

It may be difficult to get a job at a hospital as your first job as a CNA...at least that's the trend I was seeing from most of my classmates when I was at the tech college. The economy is slow right now of course, but working your butt off in a nurs...

Now I am an LPN and I was hoping if someone could explain this to me, but if you are a new RN can you get experience in a nursing home and then want to work at a hospital are you still considered a "new grad" to them? Does the hospital use the term n...

Where did you get the idea that RNs don't deal with any of the "gross" stuff? There are many tech programs out there ie surgical tech, radiology tech, etc. that may be more suitable for you if you want to stay in healthcare. I think that you may want...

If you work at a clinic will they be flexible with your school hours? Most ft clinic jobs are during traditional office hours, which might be nice but wont work if you have am clinicals once you are in the RN program. I wouldn't drive two hours to wo...

Even if you do find another job, it's always helpful to have a good reference from your last job. Follow the advice posted here and you will be seen as more professional, which in time will hopefully help with getting respect from the people who may ...

I hear that it can take 1-2 years to get into NHCC and with HTC you can get in right away. Also, please understand that the new grad job market for RNs is extremely tough right now since most of the major hospitals have been laying off RNs. It is muc...
