  1. I really want to be a Scrub nurse

    Kat12340 replied to julua s's topic in Operating Room

    If you want OR then go for it as a new grad. You can’t be pigeonholed in the OR if it’s what you want to do. So I suggest you to get some shadowing experience too. As far as getting bedside skills...

  2. Telemetry/Med-Surg Dayshift or MICU Nightshift ?

    Kat12340 replied to bananaorange's topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. Tennessee

    Kat12340 replied to orcorri's topic in Operating Room

    Not much. If you take a look at this link of nurses who inputed their income in TN, it will tell you based on their years of experience. The highest I have seen is $39 with 19 years of experience...

  5. Relocate for scrub experience?

    Kat12340 posted a topic in Operating Room

    Where can I go in the states to get scrub experience as a RN? I really want a hospital who invests in their RN's to have them to both scrub & circulate. It seems like I won't be getting that in...

  6. Non hospital or Bedside nursing position as a new grad

    Kat12340 replied to Sakae Kidd's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do you plan on staying in LA after graduating? New grads don't have to work the bedside but it can be market dependent. I wouldn't be surprised if all those non-beside jobs (especially research gigs)...

    Kat12340 replied to orcorri's topic in Operating Room

  9. Scary commute for work?

    Kat12340 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad RN with only 7 months of experience on a cardiac/ medicine stepdown. I am in the middle of leaving this job in a month to move to back to my home state/city. I just accepted a position...

  10. Scary commute for work?

    Kat12340 replied to Kat12340's topic in General Nursing

    I know I may be naive now to the commute as my current job is only a 10 minute commute ( which I love) but I think I will see if I can tolerate it or not then a small apartment closer to the city will...

  11. Scary commute for work?

    Kat12340 replied to Kat12340's topic in General Nursing

    This is the scary part of what I’ve been thinking, what if their is a car accident or new road construction and that lengthens commute? That is also something to consider.

  12. Scary commute for work?

    Kat12340 replied to Kat12340's topic in General Nursing

    I never had to do rotating shifts before, however the good news is that my manager said I could switch to nights permanently if I can not handle it. I am currently a night nurse, which I am tolerating...
