I applied to Davita in the DFW area and nothing, its hard to inquire about my application since there is no set HR dept. I am an LVN with med/surg experience but no Dialysis experience. Does anyone know how they go about their hiring? I want to go i...

I cannot believe that"Group One" still exists when there is such a nursing shortage. Even moreso that idiot companies will even still give that company business. Its ridiculous to punish someone for something that they did 5+years ago, especially whe...

Is it difficult for a LVN to find work at Kindred? I constantly see positions for LVNs in Texas but they do not seem to be filling them. Hiring freeze? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!

Do you guys find yourselves working 7 days a week in home health? If you are full time, how do you balance your work schedule so that you have a life?

And that really sucks! A change needs to be as evidenced by the numerous Group One post on All Nurses. Even still I can't believe there is NO nursing shortage whereas several facilities are always running on low staff, esp the ones who affiliate with...

Yes, the VA does, but you must be weary of a place that offers that much of a sign on bonus...... money isn't everything.

If you want you can PM me and we will chat.

Are you sure you want to work at the Dallas VA??????

4-6 14hr days a week? Did they mandate overtime? I can they make you work those crazy shifts?

I am in the South DFW area. I do understand the politics of it. But is the work that bad that people quit after orientation?

Thanx guys for all your input. I guess that I was just trying to be too nice, and now that I am sick of it, its all a big shock! But your right kids gotta get fed. :wink2:

I am a LVN who has journeyed out to the world of home health! I love the flexibility, and autonomy, but dislike the paperwork. But anyway I left the hospital because I could not do the 12 hr shifts anymore due to my kids. I am with a company and I ha...

It depends on how far out the patients are, and how long it takes you to get in do what you need to and get out. If you stop and gossip with each patient you will never get done. If paid per visit then thats it, nothing extra over the time you are ex...

when you start with a home health company full time, how do they go about giving you patients? all at once, a few at a time? my company is not a good example since i may get 1 patient every 2 weeks if im lucky. also if you start a new company should...

Thank You for that, I did not sign any such claus. I just didn't know if 2 months + was ample time to "build my patients up" as they put it.

Hello guys, I have finally put my mind to it & decided to go thru excelsior. Its no other way for me to obtain my RN with 2 young children. I know I can do it but I guess I am just scared of the unknown. The bridge programs in Texas are practical...

whats up with the va hospital? i just cant understand some of the things that go on there, and are allowed to. its like any and everyone with a bad attitude works there and its ok. most of the nurses are terrible when it comes to taking care of the ...

Yes i would like to find out about this program also.

How long did you wait to get your ATT to go take the exams?

Hey do you guys think that its do able to complete 2 Excelsior Nursing Exams per month? I am soo ready for my RN, and I want to try to beat the show down between the TX BON and Excelsior. Your opinions are greatly appreciated!

Well txspadequeen921 at least you beat the mess that is going on between Texas BON and Excelsior. Why is it sooo hard to become a RN?????

Congrats! I have 2 questions. How long do you actually seem to take your tests, 160 quest rite? Is it usually reccommended to take 2 exams in one day? I thought someone said that your brain is probably too tired after the first one. Thanx! :)

thats a good momentum! I hope that I can get in gear like that!

I have to disagree with you KW TX because I have worked with plenty of nurses from the traditional setting, BSN, MSN, and sorry to say that they have been (my opinion + a few others) for the most part UNSAFE on the floor, have absolutely no idea how ...

I didnt get a letter. Do you have 2 be enrolled 2 get one? I just started and hope that I didnt just waste $300+ for nothing! I plan to be done with all exams by Oct 2009.
