Can anyone help me!!! I cannot find a better route to go in finding who to contact with regards to a job I was denied due to what they claim to have fouond on my background clearance check. I applied for a job with the Dept of Corrections. After wait...

All I can say is make sure that if you do have family co-sign that they truly understand the meaning and responsibility of being a co-signer. Again, you cannot predict the future so keep that in mind. If you borrow a small amount of money that is one...

Doc Lori, R.N. I was cracking up, laughing and thinking "Wow, this is so true to the "T" that it isn't even funny. But how righ on the nose you said it all!! I am in major burn-out and it's affecting my life in many ways. I have family that worries a...

I would drive and may be doing so from Southern FL to Northern Cali soon. I love driving, gives me to time to think and see the sights.

What is the market like for LNC out there?? A big demand or not really? Is it more like being a self-contractor in order to obtain work or how does it work? Any info would be great! Thanks!!

Pouneh, PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT put your mom or any family member or friend as a co-signer.....why.....because if...and it's a big if you are unable to pay your student loans off or miss a payment(s) then the first person they come to is your co-signer,...

Does any RN in FL know what the pay range is for a LTC or Assisted Living Care for RN's? Thanks!

Does anyone know what the pay range is for RN's(not a new grad) in Florida in LTC? I wanted to get an idea of the range to know if I would even consider a RN job at a LTC. Thanks!!

Amen to that reply erroridiot!!! You said it perfectly!!!

I would say for me they are: 1. Huge amount of politics with upper mgt.....meaning they want more for less and want more with less. That can include more work for less $$, or more work with less staff, however you want to see it. 2. Teamwork, th...

Well sadly inmates "fish" them to one another, security may be lacking some and even more sad is staff could be giving it to them for $$. Why on earth anyone would jeopardize their jobs for an inmate is beyond me, a few more bucks in one's pocket isn...

Yep, do not work for Geo Group and certainly do not go to the facility in Arcadia, FL. Very unsafe and if you don't kiss ass forget about working there!!!

Thank you everyone!!!! :>)

I did actually......thank you!!! I stayed on top of the higher ups letting them know I was still investigating how this could have happened. Then a friend suggested I ask if I need to seek legal counsel to resolve the matter and by the end of that da...

Exactly!!!!! Focus on your school/RN Program for now!!!

Trust me, usually if you get a job on a Tele unit they will offer their own Tele course but either way I'd focus on your RN program because if you aren't doing well in the program or lose focus on that then having an EKG certification isn't going to ...

I took the Kaplan course and retook it free when I didn't pass the first time on my NCLEX. I'd say skip the course but buy their booklet because it's the same format, if you learn how the NCLEX tests then it's easier to understand the way they test. ...

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about an EKG certification at this point, you need to maintain that knowledge to be up on it so if you get a job that isn't in Tele or ICU/ER then you will forget the info easily so for now I wouldn't stress the extra stuff, ge...

Did you apply to the new grad programs in San Diego like at UCSD, Scripps or even the Naval Hosp or VA Hosp? I used to live in San Diego up to 2009. Check Craigslist(be careful though), check Google for State or Govt jobs.

Yep you're right!!! I will be careful! I also found out from another agency that no one has run a background check on me through their particular system other than my RN license, so they too are baffled why I would be told such hogwash. But let me re...

Good to know, thank you!!! I will certainly keep that in mind!!! Thank you!! :)

Thank you!!! Sadly yes I'm sure I'm not the only one. But today is filled with a trip to the local Police Dept to see what they can offer me for help but in the meantime I'm emailing the Regional Director of Institutions in my region about this and h...

Has anyone ever worked for Charlotte County Corrections in Punta Gorda, FL as a LPN or RN? If so how do/did you like it? Thanks, J

Speaking from experience....... unfortunately..........I am the type that couldn't work during nursing school(2006-2007, accelerated course) because it is easy for me to get distracted and off track, so like a dummy I took loans out thinking I could ...

Tweety read other posts and you will read that some nursing students are doing that, why do you think this post is so busy with posts....its crazy!!!
