    Cinqly replied to Hopeful 2010's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    The VA Medical Center Pay

    Cinqly replied to crystalclear's topic in General Nursing

    I was just curious as to how long have you been working there? Also, I thought they started BSN-RN's at grade 2/step 1? Did you have your BSN when you started or did you get it after you started...

    The VA Medical Center Pay

    Cinqly replied to crystalclear's topic in General Nursing

    Do you know if all BSN nurses start at level 2? or is that just because of your locale/experience? Also, did they start you at step 3 or is that the result of raises (if yes, over what time period...

    Cinqly replied to Hopeful 2010's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    If you are not accepted, you may be put onto an alternate list (they will send you a letter and let you know). However, each semester you must reapply. The last few semesters they have been...

    Schools in the Memphis area

    Cinqly replied to sukihb21's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Yeah, this is true. What you basically do is complete the extra classes needed to award a BSN, then you have an automatic acceptance into the MSN program. However, you are not awarded a BSN degree....

    Baptist College of Health Science: Cost of First Semester Nursing Books

    Cinqly replied to Transgender_n_TN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    U of M nurse students..

    Cinqly replied to faerygoddess's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    It probably depends on the hospital. Don't quote me, but I think you can get a CNA or PCA job based on how many semester of nursing school you have completed. Otherwise you'll have to get a...

    Cinqly replied to sukihb21's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Do you mean there is a wait once you've already started the nursing courses? Or is there a wait to get INTO the nursing program (when you are working on gen-ed coursework). Is is the clinical...

    Cinqly replied to NursesRock!!'s topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Have you asked the recruiter? I don't know, but it seems like a valid question, even for a new nurse. Let us know. I did a rotation there, and from what I saw the nurses were overworked and...
