Hi, I don't get to the computer as often as I would like... You know...a good place to start is with the NY State Board of Nursing...you can find out the number on-line... Umm...NYC will pay you alot more...but that is because the cost of living is a...

Hi, I have heard alot about this lately... I am in a RN bridge program...which is ASN... I plan to get my BSN but I also think that with the shortage of nurses these days... the whole thing is unrealistic...they have been saying this on and off for y...

Hi, I have to say...as one who is going thru. a bridge RN program... The RN is much more technical and as far as pay differences go,,,it seems to be about a $10/hr. difference around here...

On those same lines...I am not a Christian but a Buddhist... I use prayers all the time for others...I do it quietly, tho....I do not feel that it is appropriate to ask a patient if I can pray for them... However, ...I do wear a necklace with a Buddh...

As a Buddhist I meditate several different ways...some that take alot of practice for a hyper active person such as myself :) However, one way I recommend for anyone no matter what religion they practice is to purchase one of those nature CDs with th...

Hi, as a Buddhist I meditate on a daily basis...and there are so many ways to meditate...some for better than others...depending on the person... I use my practice before I get out of the car, as well as when I wake up and prior to going to sleep. :)

Hi, I have the same questions... I have been thinking of..perhaps an intergrative approach...and am also interested in specific jobs... The last response was very nice but kind of "vague" Anyone have any advice :)... Thanks:nurse:

Yes, I have to agree with everyone's advice... You can still care but must be firm...they will "peg" the "weaknesses"... The best advice I saw above was "you are your best protector"...know your exits...not trying to make you nervous but keep these t...

I go to Broome because I have heard that Delhi....trys to "wash people out"...alot of other nurses have told me that it is a good school academically...but emotionally tough... Maybe you will have a good story to tell..perhaps it was certain staff me...

Yes! I agree...I am there now... I have heard this of alot of 2yr. programs VS. 4 yr. Nrsg 4 yr programs...tend to focus on theory VS. 2 yr...need to get to the "meat" sooner...alot of info. in a shorter timespan... The best way everyone says is to s...

Central NY is beautiful but one of the poorest in the state. My neighbor drives an hour everyday (for years)to Cooperstown for somewhere around $12/hr. to work as a mechanic. If he went the other direction...6 miles across the river into Chenango Cnt...

Hi, it depends on where you live... NYC...pays very well...some areas of Upstate pay very poorly... It depends on the poverty level of the area... Taxes are high no matter where you go...esp. in "the city" (meaning NYC)... Housing/rent...again depend...

Hi... Eustis is not too far from Gainesville, really...let's say...too far to work, I guess, but a day trip....about 1 1/2 to 2 hours...maybe...depending on traffic. I went to Fruitland Park a few years back to a retreat...which isn't too far from Eu...

Re: Forensic being like Correctional: There is sometimes a need but for the most part it is not the same... ej. rape does happen there, of course...genetic testing etc. Alot of it is nurse and MD visits, emergencies, chronic care, meds, treatments. ...

I was wondering, as well. I am a LPN who is currently bridging to RN... I am in an ASN program right now but am planning on getting my BSN in the near future. Right now I just want to get the RN ... How does the pay scale compare to other types of n...

I am in total agreement there!

Ok...you guys are scaring me now...:) We DO have inspections...just not like LTC...nothing is regulated more than LTC...it's up there with the Nuclear Power Industry.. We get Federal, State and Corporate at our place...it's the law...

Actually I have to say that the lack of compassion varies...facility to facility...and staff... Another note to add to that....if those who DO show compassion get disgusted and all leave then no one will be left who does. Another note to add: in rega...

Well... I worked there in '98 as a LPN... I'm now working on my RN in Binghamton... Back then I think the RN were making something like $13/hr...well under 20 by a bit, I think. The other problem is that they have a cap...or they did...so even if you...

Contact the PA State Board of Nursing... you will find the number on the Internet...

Well, I am in my later forties...I have been going to school part time...and it does seem like it is taking forever...BUT...I have no regrets because it was better to go part time than "no time"... However, if you are young...and are able to do it f...

If you are going to go for nursing...go for at least the associates...diploma nursing is limited unless you already have some experience behind you. I am currently a LPN but am in a RN bridge program right now. I have alot of friends who are RNs...th...

Yuck...I make that as a LPN in the area... I am currently getting my RN...do they take into account all your years in nursing as a LPN or do they still consider you as a brand new nurse.. Does anyone know?

Is this the On-Line program? I am looking into this already. I am a LPN who is currently in a RN ASN program. When I finish this I am going to continue with my BSN. Drexel offers these on-line and is a respected university. Does anyone have experienc...
