NurseDiva76 - Where were the good places you have worked? Where are you working now? I will graduate December 2007 BSN from Bethel. I do not know if I will work Memphis/Nashville or Jackson (doubt Jackson) any info would be great!!

loafin - please inlighten us to the perks at your hospital. I have heard rumors that sound too good to be true. What about shift diff or extra pay in ICU/CCU or pay difference for Assoc. Degree vs BSN.

I graduate from Bethel December 07 and I am also interested in the pay and perks of all the area hospitals. I have to deside where I want to work soon, my college will arrange a semester long preseptorship with the hospital of my choice. Please pass on any info you can gather. :icon_razz: I am interested in CCU, how about you?

I am very curious about the Hospital you work for...more so now that I have read your last post. My mothers family is from Sikeston/Oran. They want me to move there after graduation (December 2007) I am now about 2 hours from Sikeston going to school at Bethel. (McKenzie Tn) What type of training is offered to new BSN graduates? I have to choose the hospital I want to work for and my school will arrange a preseptorship during my last semester. I will have to drive two hours or so anywhre I deside to work. Does your hospital welcome new grads? Will they offer a good training program? :icon_rolleyes:

Daytonite that is so wonderful! I love that calulation method. I have my med-calc test tomarrow and you have helped soooo much! I may be able to sleep tonight:)

I love my white Birks!! I have a flat narrow foot and I love these shoes. I do not however know about the ted hose thing. I HATE any type of panyhose. Do they really help that much?

Thank you for the info! My cousin went to OIS in Pensicola two summers ago. He is stationed at Great Lakes. I went to his graduation, very impressive! The Navy has so many traditions. My husband went to EOD school at Eglin AFB near Destin Fl We lived there for quite a while and he drilled out of Pensicola and Gulf Port. Thanks again for the help!!:wink2:

I am in Tennesee My father is a vetnam vet and a retired AF LT Col. I have lived with the Military my entire life. My husband is Navy Reserve and at present on a "training mission". (he is EOD) I am in my third year of my BSN program and working 36 hour a week (as a CNA 11p-7a) to provide enough money to live off of while I am in school also taking 18 hours of classes. (I have three children 15, 11, 6) I am 37. Does anyone know the age restrictions for commitioned nurses? I am very interested in the Navy reserve and wonder if it may be possable to get some money for school and living expences. With my husband gone and final exams in two weeks I do not see being able to work and study. It is really begining to wear me down. I have med/serg in the fall and I can not see being able to work. any suggestions will be very welcomed.
