RN for 3 years, no dialysis experience and offered 28.50 FMC. In NJ. So far the orientation is great, everyone very friendly and helpful.

This post is 4 years ago and the original person posted this has since graduated. I finished St. Francis in 07 along with her.

Yes, I keep my phone with me at all times,on viberator but, I never answer it when I am with a patient. think it is rude to have a personal conversation... however MD's answer their phones all the time and they never get any complaints.

I understand all too well... They want you to leave even thought there there is RN assigned to the unit you are on right? no one to relieve you. It comes down to ratio and money. I would have stayed too, if the ratio was reasonable. I worked in 2 ...

Princeton has a program for new BSN grads...

If they called you in for an interview that is something to be THANKFUL for! Hope it all works out for you.

WHERE? I am going to get my PA or NY license...

That's only for BSN with 3.0 GPA starts in August.

Well, for almost 2 years now, I still can't get a job in a hospital! I should have considred that OR position iin 07 , but, I don't think I will like it, standing there all day, as a scrub nurse, I wouldn't mind circulating... Today there is a open ...

Are you still in Princeton, if so, how is it?

My suggestion is to continue reviewing with Kaplan, the last thing you need is to add more stress by adding more study materials. If you are going to purchase something else, HESI with the CD it's $65. Take the tests w/CD along with your Med/Surg b...

:idea:I am taking the test Tomorow- a little overwhelmed with all the Math. Can someone or a few of you let me know the top Med formula I should know specifically for the test??? Thanks

Are you in contact with any former classmates? perhaps you can network with them or maybe even start taking classes again... have your loan payments deferred during this time due to lack of FT work and/or return to school. Also, maybe you need a bet...

You need to evaluate the reasons why you failed; were you prepared? were you stressed? overwhelmed? then take a look at what you can do to improve the circumstances, maybe a 2 year college is better for you right now- take all your pre-req's first s...

I am a member of both these sites, but only score 55-70% is this average? I'm worried. I graduated June and have been studying everyday since and using the Miller and Excelsior CD's for review.

Ok, here's the deal; your options As a new grad-you're most likely to get a night job in a hospital. Nursing home, Correctional, Psych are more flexible because, most are desperate and you can work all shifts. You can also try agencies, they hire NG...

I worked for TPH - it was HORRIBLE and so unprofessional, well not everyone was unprofessional-but, it was and is a DUMP. NOT FOR ME! I currently work in Occupational Health a per-diem position- I like it, I have alot of down time; which allows me t...

keep it off, employers will hold it against you; I did the same thing, but, I had secured another job before I left.

Is anyone going to MCCC/Felician? I have just applied to Felician fast track (RN-BSN)- that is going to be held at Mercer County Community College for 19 months, it's one day per week 8:30-4:30pm and the only requirement is that you are a RN, I curre...

I am at Chamberlain RN-BSN and if you like writing papers it's good, if not, look elsewhere. But it is NOT EASY! like some may think.

I remember that story last year. Well, Nursing homes will hire! Harborside in Bridgewater NJ Also St. Barnabas Hospitals Hire New Grads. Some agencies will hire new grads. Go to job fairs, there is one coming up in Atlantic City in a few weeks sponso...

Is it because you studied too much or not enough? I'm not being sarcastic, it's because, my worst test grade is school is when I studied TOO much and didn't focus on the real nursing objectives. Nursing tests are different they are set up to focus on...

I am thinking about becoming a member of rnquiz.com it is only $50 for there question bank. Has anyone used this? if so, what is your experience? Thanks

With a around the clock feeding tube do you actually rinse the bag out? I thought you changed the bag. The answer is rinse the bag.

I work in LTC per diem. I had NO order to flush the peripheral line with heparin and therefore did not and refused to do so. The nursing supervisor then wrote in the orders "flush line with heparin" "(SASH). Later, found out that the pt. is also on c...
