I am planning on moving to az over the summer, around the beginning of aug. there were great relocation packages a couple of months ago but times are tough all over. I would prefer a direct hire position and don't need relocation package, and don't p...

O.k. The NLN is a test to see if you can succeed in school, read carefully, take your time with the test and know that if nothing else you can always take it over. ECC does not have an actual wait list. They take the students with the best grades and...

i was taught this in school but don't use it regularly in practice. I have used when I have had a hard time hearding a b/p.

in response to the Prestige, I think you are jumping to conclusions here, maybe he knows about the field of nursing and mom is just checking it out for her own sake. Just because she is on here asking questions doesn't mean that he asked her to do th...

I agree you did the right thing, same things happen at my hosp. I had a woman the other night that was a multip. and progressing just fine, and had just srom'd it was about 4 am then her doc walked in and said start her on pit !?!?!?!?! I am beginnin...

I am currently talking to a recruiter about relocating to AZ. and she brought up this group of hospitals, the package sounds great and the pay for my experience is competitive with what I am making working in Chicago in a 300 + bed not for profit hos...

That's funny, I am thinking that it is going to be a bit of a culture shock, because I work in a hospital that is located in one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the country. I do want to learn spanish but haven't because where I work ...

No she hasn't told me which locations have positions available, I think part of the reason is that I am not relocating until may-juneish. she has sent me a packet with benefit info and stuff like that, and some generic info on az. I have not been in ...

The recruiter just said Abrazo she did not mention which site which is part of why I am here, I want to know if there is a location I should avoid, if they are all bad or if people enjoy it, if the benefits are good etc....

Hey I graduated from there in '07, I had a great time while there. They do have a good program and if you graduate passing the NCLEX is pretty much a given they really do prepare you to pass the test. Are you doing day program or night program? and h...

I see that your post is a few months old but was wondering how things were going with your business if you decided to go forward with it or not. As far as the "conflict of interest" thing, is there a stipulation in your employment agreement regarding...

I hope to not ever be taken care of by a nurse who would stick me with a needle with out first waking me up, telling me what they are doing and what medication they are giving me! I am dumbfounded that anyone would do this or defend this! The 5 right...

Thank you both for your responses! It's good to hear both sides.

I am new to L&D but came from a surgical/surgical ICU floor, learned in nursing school not to do homans, in the hospital I work at people do it so they can fill in the blank in meditech for homans, I never did it because I have read enough to def...

As an L&D nurse I don't really care if the bed is broken down or not, it is up to the doc or cnm as to what their preference is and what is most comortable for mom and I think that most of my coworkers would agree that our top concern isn't how m...

Say something, I have learned that not enough people stand up for what is right, not enough people are willing to rock the boat, but behavior like that CAN NOT be tolerated. Everyone has bad days, everyone gets an admission or transfer at the worst p...

I have strep throat...still went to clinical today knowing full well I was going to be sent home (we have a preconference so no patient contact)and let the instructor send me home....better to make the effort and be sent home than call in I think...

I worked as a dialysis tech before going to nursing school, it was a great experience I did not need to take a course for it though...they wanted cna's but since I had phlebotomy experience they hired me and all training was on the job....my phleboto...

I am a bereaved parent, and have also been trained in bereavement. I would not recommend going out with her. For the same reasons that your friend mentioned. Newly bereaved parents can be very needy, I was...we want the world to come to a screeching...

insubordination is to oppose or defy established authority...so I would think it would lay more in the realm of refusing to do something requested of you...I could be wrong though...

We use both....I prefer the concept map because I can finish it faster...

In my program we four weeks of mother baby and four weeks of peds and as far as I know a lot of programs are like that ADN or BSN. The rest of the classes are aimed at being a nurse "in general"....we had oncology, cardiac, neuro, psych etc. all of w...

i used to do preemployment physicals including idot which is a state thing, illinois dept. of transportation...never asked for med list because it wasn't required, if people requested to list their meds they could do it on the back of the drug screen...
