2. Do you have Malpractice insurance for RNs ?

   JCubby replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

   i also carry my own policy. my understanding is that you must follow your facility's policy and procedure pretty much to the "t" in order for their lawyers to represent you. also, if both you and the hospital are being sued, who do you think the lawy...

   supersn2008 - [color=#2f4f4f]if you go to your state board of nursing website, many states will post your rn license there before pearson does - just depends on your state and when you took the test. i had taken my exam saturday morning so my 48 hour...

   JCubby replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in NCLEX

   my hesi score was 947 and i had taken that back in mid-march. i just took my nclex exam on saturday and i'm pretty much numb waiting for the results. i went into hesi with low expectations since i had not done too much to prepare for the exam. th...

10. resume help

    JCubby replied to hell000nurse's topic in SRNA

    I have found that "Anatomy of a Job Search" by Jeanna Bozell has been quite helpful. It has sample resumes in it that you can get ideas from. Also, I went to Borders book store here locally and was able to look at some books that they have for more i...

11. Pens

    JCubby replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer the PhD multi pen. It has black and red ink and a pencil. They cost about 10 bucks, but this way I have everything I need all the time. The ink doesn't glob up either. Love it.

14. Thinking of joining the Air Force

    JCubby replied to PRicanRN's topic in Government

    From what I have seen from the various schools outside of the Air Force that I have looked into, a GPA of at least 3.0 is expected. A 3.5 to 3.75 would keep you very competitive. I believe the AF still wants a 3.0 or better GPA, but if there are sa...

15. Thinking of joining the Air Force

    JCubby replied to PRicanRN's topic in Government

    I believe the same rules apply in the Air Force that would apply to a civilian school: you still have to apply to the masters program, still need a higher GPA, still have to interview, and you still have to have 1-2 years experience working as a RN… ...
