How is the program???? I'm sooo nervous to apply !!!! I'm interested in post masters FNP !!!!

Hi everyone!!!! I have a few questions to ask of you all!! I formerly worked with this employer (3 years ago) and I am curious to figure out if I am elegible for rehire... I worked there for 5 years (per diem) and had no issues up until the final year! In the end, I voluntarily chose to leave on a level 4 corrective action due to not "meeting my per diem commitment". Honestly I was an excellent employee, no issues but management started to crack down on me. I honestly felt completely shocked and one day I went in to work, and I was not on the assignment. I then met with my union rep and manager (I had previously done this a few months before to have an plan in place, etc) Anyways, I am curios to know what the BEST way is to find out my rehire status. I am sure it is at the discretion of the manager...but I honestly want to apply again. I was utterly shocked and hurt but I don't know what my approach should be? Call HR?? And would they even disclose this information ??anyone out there been in this situation?? I keep reading all these forums of how they discriminate and target their employees 😖 Also, is there a way I should go about talking to a manager or union rep to see if I am NOT elegible, could it even be "challenged". How aboug applying at another region...? Would it still be the same if it's the same organization of is this only specific to that HR REGION??? I really fedl i deserve another chance. Other states are not as strict I hear, which makes it that much more upsetting. Pleases any professional advice would truly be appreciated. 😘 God Bless

Hi all, So, I'm contemplating leaving my "home" L/D, which I have worked in for the last 9 years (Postpartum prior for 2 years) and I am DEBATING venturing out into ER. Has anyone out there been in this situation, or can offer some advice???? My previous background does not include med surg. but I have a great opportunity to train in ER, which I have always had an affinity for. There is definitely already an "ER-like" fast-paced atmosphere/element in L/d, which I enjoy. Of course, I am comparing apples and oranges here, but how hard is it the first few months??? What types of skills, assessments should I brush up on...L/D is specialized and limited so it is VERY daunting, but ultimately, if I do not pursue this potential opportunity, I dont think I will later on in my career. Any ER nurses out there, PLEASE, any words of wisdom and guidance would be awesome. I know any new area is DAUNTING...What were the things you all did as a new nurse in the ED. I believe the ratio at my facility is 1:4, but it is a very busy unit. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW A NURSE THAT ROTATED TO ER FROM L&D ..... Thank you!!! ANy words of advice would be supportive!

I'm confused...so do you guys think thats its safe to assume if you havent received an email by now there is no point in waiting..?

??? ANYONE......

So is it pretty much a done deal if you havent received an email or anything at this point...?

When you guys logged in to check when your application was "sent" did all of your guys' dates change????

It is very nervewrecking....considering the time, effort, and obvious benefits of receiving an awards..to go this long without hearing anything is TORTURE. Thats great for those who have received feedback! And best wishes to those {{biting nails}} that are STILL anxiously awaiting correspondence. Stay positive! This is a great forum. If anyone that hasn't heard anything yet..if something changes PLEASE updated us! Thank you sooo much!!

How do we knw what team we are on

I am losing my mind as well

My application "loan" dates have not changed up to now!!! ;( is that a bad sign...??? I'm so confused....I havent heard anything back from them up until now. I am in California.....any cali peeps out there.....

She was in line to send it by mail on the 8th but got out of line to fax it instead! Crazy....I guess she thought based on the app info it would have been late if not received by mail that day so she faxed instead. Idk. But good luck to all!!

Really!! Thats horrible!! It seems like they are very unorganized. The only reason she faxed it was bc online it said to receive app by the 8th of Feb but after she faxed it (1 hour late) she called and they said it just needed to be postmarked by the 8th. She's sooo frustrated. I don't want to tell her but I guess we'll see. They should be more clear on their wishes though

For previous applicants, my friend is freaking out because she faxed all her info for the NELRP 2011 but forgot the online portion said it needed to be received by 5pm EASTERN time, she was like an hour late per fax. Do you think they will take her app still???? Thanks all. It helps to read previous info as well!!!

My friend sent hers today Feb 8 the deadline by FAX but I guess she didnt realize the cutoff time was 5pm EASTERN TIME. She was like 1hr 30 mins late...DO YOU THINK THEY WILL STILL ACCEPT HER info?? I guess the fax kept saying busy... Any suggestions???? And GOod Luck with those that submitted theirs! Its so stressfull!! Are there any other loan repayment programs out there like this????????

No I believe unofficial ones are fine!!!

I know reading the thread is so daunting...I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It would help so much. Do u know of anyone personally that was awarded it by chance???

CONGRATS to previous winners!! I am doing the application now for this year... ahhhh stressful!!!! Do you know how they do the employee verification...do YOU send it in or does HRSA send in info to your employer...just curious....Thanks!

Hi all!!! Is anyone out there applying for the Nurse Education Loan Repayment for 2011..I came across the thread for 2010 but was just looking for some additional support...ahhhh!!!!!!!! Its so stressful! Thanks!

Does anyone know of any Southern California schools that need OB clinical instructors (ADN or BSN)??? I just graduated and would like to utilize my degree!!!! Thanks... (I'm in Long Beach btw!!)

HI GUYS!! I am taking a toll for a department project and I have a couple of questions for you all...please feel free to add... 1. In your deparment, what are some of the things that you do to ensure quality nursing care for your patients? 2. What is the most important thing to you in the workplace?? 3. What do you feel is the most challenging part in nursing?? Thanks so much!! :heartbeat

dont worry, I had my very first one LAST week, 39 weeker, G1P0, IUFD as well. No fetal heart tones in the MD office the day prior. I cried after I got report from the night shift, i really didnt think i would be able to care for her and the family. I mean, it was their first child, and the patient had NO risk factors. Anyways, of course she was complete, and comfortable, when I came on shift. The doc wanted me to start pushing when the pt started to feel pressure. luckily, my staff was real supportive and offered numerous times to help, even though they had their own assignments. So we started to push (eventually after an hour) all of a sudden, mom had one good push and I delivered her WITHOUT the MD. It was obvious, baby was strangled with a nuchal x2. It was so sad. I was in shock, i called for help immediately (i had no idea she would deliver that quick with that one push). The MD and other RNs came in to assist, but the MD was upset that he wasnt there for the actual delivery.. anyways, it was the worst experience. The patient shed less tears than I did, but i was there for them when they needed me to b. Their daughter was so beautiful. anways, this is the worst aspect of our jobs. but your tears do show you care. i never thought i would have survived that day...

Usually we call our MDs in when our multip w/o epidural is like 8 cms (and moving fast of course)!! But all pts are diff..just watch out for those multips that can take of at ANY minute!!

Thanks for your input..i just wanted to make sure that I was charting correctly. Just to make sure, how long do you wait to call ad doc if your baby does not have any 15x15 accels (NO MEDS on board) but has moderate varibility (no decels?)... just wondering thanks!
