Is there anyone out there who has applied to NELRP. I'm having trouble with my hospital giving me a letter certifying they are a Disproportionate share hospital. They know absolutely nothing about it and they have referred it to their legal departm...

What happens if someone wants to go into nursing but has Hep C? My neighboors daughter asked me because I have relatives in Healthcare, but they don't know. Would a hospital hire them and then just take precautions? Or would their workmen's comp not ...

I'm starting a new job as a trauma case manager with the Army and I was told to wear kackis, a "good" shirt, a lab coat, and comfortable shoes. I wear tennis shoes now as an ICU nurse, but have no idea what to get otherwise. They will have to be ve...

He was told during the interview that they had a loan replayment program starting after three months. They patterned it on the NELRP guidelines. He submitted his nursing school loan info to them and they approved it without any hassle. The maximum...

I was thinking those letters wouldn't be out for another month so I hope my son gets one. Do you work in a DSH hospital? congratulations because you are one of the few who actually got the money. I'm sure you are so excited. It's wonderful.

It's just for loans incurred while in Nursing School; no prerequisites. It's mandatory for you to be working in a Disproportionate Share Hospital and have high debt in order to be in the top group and get funded. There are other groups below this b...

There is a temporary opening for a Nurse in Vischeck but its not direct hire, so all the preferences are in place, e.g. spousal, etc. It closes Oct. 1, only open a week (which usually means they have already chosen who they want but under the law ha...

Well, that's bad news. I actually had a head nurse request my resume when I contacted her by email; she said they needed ICU nurses. But, I sent it and haven't heard a word in over two weeks. She didn't acknowledge receipt or tell me they weren't ...

Don't forget this is just for jobs where they have a critical shortage, like nurses. Well, the housing allowance makes sense if your spouse if already collecting one. I was assured that as a single person I would get a housing allowance and commiss...

I don't know it it's easier. It only means they can hire who they want without ranking, or preferences. They are still required to post the vacancy. Yes, DH's still get housing allowance, etc. but, if the same code holds, it's who you know. If you ...

With Direct Hire there aren't supposed to be any preferences.

I just wanted to say that with Direct Hire authority given to hire nurses government wide, you no longer have to wait in line behind that long list of people who have preferences. Also, you don't have to be rated and put on a "highly qualified" list...

hi. have you ever thought about joining the military? we have bases all over the world with hospitals. right now they are paying huge bonuses for nurses and you get housing allowance, student loan repayment (maybe), commissary use, cost of living ...

I'm interested in moving to Oregon, but right now I live in Scottsdale, AZ and have to worry about a lease and student loan payments. I'm working on the night shift and make around 30/hr but with the high rents here and my loans I don't have much le...

Would you feel comfortable giving me the name of your hospital; maybe I could call them and have them fax that letter to the HR, then maybe they wouldn't feel so scared about giving the information out.

It's not just Arizona. My son graduated in May, passed the NCLEX and is now working. I believe they lost about 30% of the initial class. I was with him in spirit the entire 3.5 years of nursing school and believe me it was hard. He had little sci...

I forgot to say, that's in Scottsdale Shea. I think I remember he had to go to Shea for the ICU.

My son graduated in May and he's working in the ICU.

They have sitters at Scottsdale Healthcare AZ but unfortunately they are not usually available at night and violent psych patients are still abusing the nurses in the ICU. They aren't supposed to be in ICU but no where else to send them.

My son, a new nurse, works at Scottsdale Healthcare in Scottsdale, AZ. They are making his loan payments and there is no commitment. If he leaves, that's the end of it. It's a great deal.

Since they are now anticipating a Mumps epidemic :angryfire in Arizona having discovered that the origin of the disease was a student flying out of Tucson, will the hospitals require nurses to get a mumps vacination? My son is starting work there s...

There are so many apts listed online that I don't know where to start. I find one that looks good and then go on apartmentratings.com and it has a low rating. Does anyone here live in Scottsdale and rent? Any recommendations? No plans as of now e...

I wanted to post a followup. My son and I drove to Scottsdale (7 days, ugh!) from Connecticut with a UHaul and moved into a condo in Chandler and started the search that afternoon. Found an apt. in only two days at the Crown Court apts. in northern...

Hi. This is the mom answering. My son is the one moving, but I'll be there living with him for about 4 mos of the year; have to escape these Maine winters! He's not a kid (37) so that's why he doesn't want a place where there are a lot of younger...
