I applied for adult acute care. Have you heard anything yet?

Would love to go the CRNA route. That was my original plan. However, I just don't see how it would be feasible not working for 3 years while obtaining my DNP. Most schools don't let you work and almost every CRNA I've talked to said it's pretty impossible to work with the heavy school load, anyway. I'm trying to find the next best choice. L&D would pave the way for CNM. I don't know where I could advance from the OR.

I am an ICU nurse, but I am burned out and want to switch specialties. I am debating between OR and L&D. I believe I would like both. However, I would like to travel in a few years. Pre-Covid, which specialty was the highest paid and most in-demand? I don't want to limit myself traveling because of my specialty having few job openings.

Hello! I am writing a research paper on palliative care. I just have a few general palliative care questions. The only caveat is that I would need your real name and credentials for my paper. Thank you! If you work as inpatient hospital services, do you make referrals for the patients to continue with palliative care upon discharge? Also, based upon your personal experience, what do you feel is the benefit of palliative care for the clients?

What is Novant offering? We need to come together as nurses and openly discuss our pay. I'm so tired of the South not paying us what we deserve. That's why so many have left to travel. It's ridiculous. You can go to McDonald's and make $20 an hour now. Nurses need to start around $40 at bare minimum for all we do.

We started at $28 but received a system wide raise due to the pandemic. We are now at $29.68.

I wouldn't give up on Atrium. Between their two schools, they graduate maybe 100-150. There are way more residency positions than that. Yes, the most desirable get filled first. However, there are plenty of needs on med-surg floors across the multiple campuses. They are still interviewing and if you accept a less desirable position, just transfer internally after a year.

Journey is just what they call their residency. Your badge clearly says Journey when you are with a preceptor until you are ready to be on your own. The last group was hired in June or July of 2020 and they were on their own the week of Christmas. Which critical care floor? Which hospital? I have accepted a position in critical care at Atrium.

For Atrium, mine was an hour. I received a call from HR the same day with the offer.

I don't work there, but I do go to one of their affiliated schools. I think they usually try to look at those applicants first. Don't quote me on this, but I don't think they hire new grads in the NICU, but they do in peds. I could be incorrect, though.

I've accepted a new grad position with Atrium. They are actively interviewing. My hiring manager stated the applications went out last week. Good luck!
