I am just curious if it is possible to use a travel contract as way to relocate to another state? If so, are you able to stay on with the company/hospital or are you under contract to not work for them? Thanks everyone!

So NedRN do you mean go straight to staff with an agency?

Thanks for your reply.

I was in their MSN management degree a couple of years ago. I transferred to Graceland for my FNP becuase Walden did not have a FNP at the time. I had a great experience there and would have stayed if possible. Maybe the statistics you are seeing are...

Anyone out attending or attended an RN to MSN NP program? If so thoughts, suggestions, opinions? I have my associates and want to begin my NP an info is appreciated.

I am attending Walden U RN to MSN Leadership track. I am only in the first semster however I am really thinking I should have gone the NP route. I love leadership and I truly didnt even consider NP as I am a single mom with 2 boys 7 and 4. I just fel...

I am starting the RN to MSN Leadership tract January 3rd. Beginning with statistics. I am in denial right now. I work M-F in Cardiology and am a single mom with 2 boys, 7 and 4 y/o. I am doing it because I want to and because I feel I have to in orde...

I am an RN with I am applying for the RN to MSN at Walden and have been researching jobs and salaries and talking with people in leadership roles at my hospital. However I wanted to throw it out to you all. What is your goal regarding position and ...

Thanks so much. That really helped. :)

I work in a cardiology office and we have been tasked to reorganizing the way we run the office. We have anywhere from 2-3 nurses and sometimes a tech. We have anywhere between 1 provider and 3. We have 9 rooms. Our Dr's are not happy with the front...

I am wanting some insight on area NICU's as I will start applying soon. Graduate in Dec. Thanks in advance. Jen

Just curious about KCMO and Kansas? Thanks!

Seriously in the scheme of things I would much rather you splash poop on you or me and be able to read my EKG. I would say you are doing great. BTW. I have dropped a bag of NS on a pt head. Spiked the nutrition for tube feeding and dumped it all ove...

I actually had a doc straight cath my patient. I tried a billion times, another nurse tried a billion and in walks one of my favorite dr's and she sure did get it on the first try. Had to give her props as none of us thought she could do it. :)

I have stopped myself so many times from yelling oh my gawd this is nothing like ER just to see everyone's head spin off. HAHA. :)

I am still there and still loving it. Good Luck - you will do great. :)

Mine was my first patient on my first day off orientation. Pt was only in her 50's but a train wreck, ESRD, 3 valve endocarditis, DM on and on. Not compliant ever except when hospitialized. Full code, everything that could go wrong did including the...

Yep, first day off orientation my pt coded and died. OMG it was awful. Nothing could be done the pt was really sick. However I was mortified. Handled it fine but seriously I just want my ACLS as I hate not knowing what to do or not even really being ...

I know you posted a ways back but I want to let you know that we have some great hospitals here. I am in the CCU at Truman not really ICU however our SI and MI units are awesome. The CCU is great as well however it would be close to what you have al...

I work in the CCU at Truman while it really isn't really ICU, it is an awesome place to be. Most people eventually leave the CCU for SI or MI as we are all under the same director. You get crosstrained in each of the ICU's regardless of where you wor...

I was hired for critical care as a new grad in a teaching hospital. We are Level 1, not for profit and in the urban core. I was fortunate enough to do a month in the ER as part of my orientation and I must say I loved it. I experienced for the most ...

Back to the OP, I am in KCMO and I work for a not for profit. We no longer have the bonus attached to weekend alt. From what I have gathered (I am new) you still get paid for almost 3 days however you get nothing extra. It sounds like the bonus was p...

OMG, I seriously can barely breathe. :) So I take NCLEX RN Wednesday and I have used ATI virtual online tutor. I did everything she said and have done well on most of it and crappy on some. However my tutor says I am ready based on my 2 predictors a...

Holly noot as my 2 year old would say I am an RN! Woohoo. Thanks for all the support. :)

You all are awesome. Thanks!
