  2. Mileage question--is this the norm??

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in Home Health

    Yes, I think you are right. My main concern is that I live in a congested urban area, and I am afraid I will sit in traffic for an hour with no compensation for time or mileage. All for a one-hour...

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? posted a topic in Home Health

  5. A question about Inova...and one about Kaiser

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Two questions: 1. Does anyone have any idea how much a "Patient Registration Rep" position at Inova pays? I am having trouble finding a job, so I am considering applying for this position since it has...

  6. A question about Inova...and one about Kaiser

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thank you! It was very helpful to hear from someone with first ( and second) hand knowledge of what the job is like. I also have an ADN, but I don't have any experience with triage. All my experience...

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Naturally, I think I have waaay too many residents to care for so I'd like to do a quick reality check: As a charge nurse in a LTC/SNF, how many residents are you responsible for on your unit? What...

  8. No LTC jobs??

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I've been looking for a job for over a month now, and still nothing. I've only been called for one interview, and I am trying to figure out why. I am looking for a job in LTC, and have several years...

  9. No LTC jobs??

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in Virginia Nursing

    I was there for 8 years, and it was in another state. When I first interviewed for the job there was a nursing shortage, and Nurses could pretty much pick and choose where they wanted to work. How...

  10. No LTC jobs??

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in Virginia Nursing

    The issue is that the applications are asking for a salary history. They aren't asking what I would like to make. Trust me, at this point I am really willing to negotiate! Unfortunately, on the online...

  11. No LTC jobs??

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in Virginia Nursing

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks for the responses. i was wondering whether I would be pushing a cart, or if it was an actual supervisory position. It's good to hear that not all Manor Care facilities are nightmarish!...

  13. Manor Care Questions

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am looking at job listings, and I see that Manor Care has several openings for "RN Nurse Supervisor." Does anyone know whether this is just ManorCare-ese for plain 'ole charge nurse/floor nurse, or...

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I've heard that Inova is in the process of selling two nursing homes--Cameron Glen and Commonwealth--to another company. I am interested in applying to these places, but I am wondering who is buying...

  15. Inova --> selling two of their nursing homes??

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks, Lunah. Guess I'll hold off on applying there for now...the large numbers of vacant positions kind of raises a red flag with me anyway. Appreciate your response,

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been an RN at the same SNF/LTC for 8 years, so I am pretty much out of the loop regarding interview protocol these days. I am relocating to a new state, and I am kind of nervous about finding a...

  20. are there hospitals in USA who accept foreign RN with little or no nursing experience

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to zarina_1007's topic in Immigration Advice

    The DON is from a foreign country. When there is a job opening--either for a nurse or a nursing assistant--she fills the position by word-of-mouth, rather than by advertising the position. According...

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to zarina_1007's topic in Immigration Advice

    Not sure where you are getting your information, but I have to question the accuracy of your comments. Hospitals facing budgetary constraints would be less likely to petition foreign nurses,...

    Nurse!Nurse!Hello? replied to Inquisitive one's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My nursing home completely ignores Nurses Week. Instead, they celebrate Nursing Home Week, which really irks me every year. I have never worked in a facility that totally ignored Nurses Week. Every...
