    ASN VS ADN??? A. A. S.?

    ADN stands for associates degree in nursing. It's the generic term for all associates degrees in nursing. ASN and AAS are simply different names for an ADN. There may be slight differences in...

    Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    Right, which is why the universal 2 weeks notice may not apply. I didn’t realize my organization required 4 weeks notice until about 5 years in

    Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    Are you sure 2 weeks is the proper notice? In mine, 2 weeks is only for unlicensed staff. Nurses must give 4 weeks. That may be another gotcha clause that landed you on do not rehire

    PC RN appt is with a health tech!?

    Seems to be common practice, most likely because to the vast majority of patients, everyone is either a nurse or a doctor when they go to the primary care office. It may not truly be called that, but...

    RN 40 hours/week Job Postings

    32 hours/week may qualify as receiving the same benefits; however, most facilities prorate the FTE. Someone working 40 hours/week is 1.0 FTE, someone working 36 hours/week is 0.9FTE, someone working...

    How do I find primary care RN position?

    It seems like most of the positions found in primary care are LPNs and CMAs. RNs typically function in a management role; in my organization they are RN Practice

    How is your hospital handling PPE with GA's?

    You stated your facility is treating all patients as droplet precautions. Why? Are all patients showing respiratory symptoms? If not, what’s the rationale to treat all patients as droplet? The...

    How is your hospital handling PPE with GA's?

    They do it solo in the ICU or ER when called for a stat intubation. At least in the OR it's much more controlled. Yes, it will be a handful, but I would think a manageable

    No NCLEX for new grads?

    Is it a temporary license or a temporary practice permit? Temporary practice permits used to be common back in the days when boards were only offered twice a year. They allowed graduates to practice...

    I want to work for the Union.

    You'll need to be more specific. There is no general nursing union- nurses at union affiliated workplaces are represented by any of several unions. The vast majority of nursing workplaces are not...

    What is it like in your hospital right now?

    Many areas have yet to see a peak. Take a look at what is happening in New York City- they had to bring in 85 refrigerated trucks to manage bodies. I would bet that most of us still posting haven’t...
  21. Externships typically don’t start until June. This may not be as bad then, it may be the same or worse. No one has a crystal ball to know the exact way this will go; only prediction models. The one...

    Anyone having trouble getting hired??

    Not only is HR drowning, in most places they aren't even on the premises and are trying to work from home. Nurse managers, who make the final decisions, have more than enough on their plates. Quite...

    How is your hospital handling PPE with GA's?

    Seems like an absurd waste of PPE resources. Our CRNAs are wearing N95s routinely as intubation is considered an aerosol generating procedure. No one else in the room is, and we are not using another...
  24. Heck, we aren’t allowing orientees near the COVID patients to preserve PPE. If there’s any facilities taking these students, they must be on units not accepting these patients. And that’s a big
