    NICU in Kentucky

    WildcatFanRN replied to sophie<3's topic in General Nursing

    I would give it a try at those hospitals anyway simply because you are working as an extern in a NICU. You have a bit of a advantage over general new grads without that kind of experience. I did my...

    Educating new nurses

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally think hospital-based BSN programs would be an interesting thing to do. I will research that CMS rule, I think that is the subsidy that the UHC/AACN residency program is geared for in...

    Educating new nurses

    WildcatFanRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know exactly where to put this, so I put this in the general nursing section. I just finished my first session of the RN to BSN program I am in. As part of my Dimensions of Professional...

    Educating new nurses

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why does everyone think a residency program is for re-training what was already taught in nursing school? From what I understand about residencies new nurses are taking full loads of patients long...

    Educating new nurses

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Residency programs are not "re-training" nurses, at least not the ones in my research. Most of the classroom work is on things not covered in nursing school and are unit specific. Some...

    a relatively new RN get a job working as a civilian with the Army?

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Government, Military

    You could try calling the nurse recruiter directly. Just call the hospital and ask for the nurse recruiter's office. It didn't work for me as I don't have the magical 1 years experience everyone...

    a relatively new RN get a job working as a civilian with the Army?

    WildcatFanRN posted a topic in Government, Military

    The reason I ask is because the only RN openings I find on the cpol website want graduate level education, yet aren't NP's. I've found 2 LPN positions and wonder if I can apply to those as I REALLY...

    MRSA precautions in the ER?

    WildcatFanRN replied to AnnieNHRN's topic in Emergency

    I had an mrsa infection in the past and I'd be pretty annoyed if I was put in contact isolation everytime I came to the hospital unless it was for an active infection. Having had it in the past does...

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in General Nursing

    Come on, there has got to be somebody that went to either of these programs. All I'm asking is how others liked the schools. I can't believe there is no one on this forum that went to these
