MNRN22 BSN

My goal is to stay with my company as I have great benefits. Why should I feel I need to leave to be treated fairly! LOL. And I'm not 67 but 65. And even so, I don't feel as though I have a stamp on my forehead that says "expired." Like a piece of me...

I would like to share my story on age discrimination. Please read my story and offer advice and feedback on how I can deal with a situation where I was told, "this is not a job for someone approaching retirement age who is looking to take it easier"....

Thank you for the wise words! I's starting to wonder what's wrong with nursing. Is it this way in every field?

I work at Mayo and I would no longer recommend it to anyone. There is a serious integrity problem going on. To the post about involving bedside nurses to make things better -- NO! They are not doing this. We are short staffed, administration is...

The hospital is struggling right now. If you are hired expect a very arrogant attitude and expect to work your *** off.

Mayo used to be one of the best, if not the best hospital in the country. It is no longer. Yes, it's a good place to get a job, the ratios are better than most, but it is no longer a good hospital and the work environment is bad. Please don't look at...

Thank you everyone for your comments. I agree it is probably not the best to complain in order to educate the hospital. I'd rather get even on my own terms.

I would love some feedback from fellow nurses. I sometimes take care of covid-19 positive patients on a separate pod set up to maintain safety. I utilize PPE and feel comfortable. I have recently had a negative blood drawn antibody test (but as we kn...

My school wants to place me with a naturopathic doctor ND as my preceptor for this semester. Is this BS or am I over reacting? I feel this is not appropriate. Please tell me if I'm making a big deal out of nothing. My concerns? I am not studying home...

Insensitive to say the least!

We should be more concerned with opiate addicted nurses than we are with nurse who occasionally smoke marijuana. I have not seen anyone die of marijuana but I have sure seem them die of ETOH. Our society is hypocritical and the medical community need...

My experience with the CA BON is as follows: CA will request transcripts from every school you attended. For instance, if you took an online course from one school to fulfill a pre-req, you need to contact that school and have a transcript sent. I f...

hi IsabellAZ I am in that boat too

Yes you are correct. The community colleges and other schools offering ADN in AZ are ripping the students off. These students need to be getting BSN. Please get your BSN don't waste time on an associate degree. I am an associate degree nurse and i k...

Your hunch is right on. I personally do not think they are hiring ADN nurses unless they are forced to because of a lack of BSN applicants. Right now these is no nursing shortage. I have worked for banner for three years. I do believe your hunch is ...

Get your BSN if you can. Way too many community college grads with associates, they will have a very difficult time getting a job until there is actually a shortage of nurses again. There is not nursing shortage right now, and hospitals do not want a...

Your bachelor may help you even if you only have and Associate Nursing degree but everyone contemplating nursing school needs to understand that If you don't have a BSN you may not get a job. Sorry, but this is the directions things are headed. If th...

I am begining nursing school at MC in September. I have not seen any posts on this site about MC. Anyone on here attending the school or graduated from it. I am just curious to see what your experience has been. Thanks.

Hi everyone, Hoping someon can steer me i the right direction. I am completing my first semester in nursing school and need my cna license in order to get a pct job. I have requested the application From MBON. They don't seem to have it available onl...

I would love to get some contact information on Wash hospitals. you can post it here or email me at [email protected]

Good luck on your interview. I will no be attending the interview next week. I had tentatively cancelled due to a family emergency. I thought about then going ahead with it next week but after talking to the recruiter I decided not to. She said verde...

Does anyone know what the starting hourly rate is for new grads at ucla? how about the other LA hospitals? Thanks in advance. Dave

The housing costs in phoenix seem so much better than the east coast for sure! I was paying 1400 for a one bedroom apt in a high rise. When i started nurisng school i was forced to econonmize and moved into a stuido, old, but large and nice. Rent was...

Im in love with Calif and have friends there but the cost of housing there is as bad as it is here on the east coast. I visited Phoenix four times and really like it. Seems like a good compromise for me. I am really sold on the housing costs. I want ...
