  1. I got fired today

    teiladay replied to iwanna's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I'm glad you're out of that job. Seems like the clinic is a big mess waiting to happen. I'm glad you got out when you did. Leave it off your resume' is what I'd say (if you were only there for...

  2. Noone is hiring new grads in the ATL area!?

    teiladay replied to Spazzpup's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be fooled... there isn't, and hasn't been a nursing shortage. The only "shortage" are great paying jobs, with good benefits, reasonable stress levels, and mutual respect among co-workers...

  6. Active Duty Assignment

    teiladay replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in Government, Military

    At first glace, I'd give a good educated guess the pay grade of O-3 (captain in most branches of military). Okay, lets break it down to be more sure... EDUCATION: MSN = 2 years constructive credit...

  7. Floor nursing vs ICU nursing

    teiladay replied to faithrn2002's topic in MICU, SICU

  8. Active Duty Assignment

    teiladay replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in Government, Military

  10. 68WM6/ US Army

    teiladay replied to victorsuchil's topic in Nursing Career

    Excellent question! I'm glad you're posting the question here vs. asking an enlisted military recruiter. If you do speak to a recruiter, ask to speak to an OFFICER who is an RN who acts as a liaison...

  12. Aspiring Nurses: Why not Med School??

    teiladay replied to muurman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Do CRNA programs favor male applicants?

    teiladay replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Elementary my dear.. Its all about PAY vs. type of work and "BS you might have to put up with" ratio. 1. Males generally speaking aren't even close to being interested in bedside nursing. Most...

  14. Aspiring Nurses: Why not Med School??

    teiladay replied to muurman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I cannot believe how many people reasonably believe that nurse course and physician courses are somewhat the same. The bottom line is that courses that are required to REALISTICALLY (read that last...

    teiladay replied to zaga21's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think a person who graduated from a Masters level program (in any field of study) and who can do basic math, should not have to ask a friend whether or not he spent too much. Only HE can know that....

    teiladay replied to M3olatomiwa's topic in Government, Military
