  5. Are there more opportunities for BS nurses?

    Guest20074 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm very much aware of the opportunities BS nurses have in nursing, but are there any opportunities for BS nurses out side of nursing? Are there any other professions that will take a nursing degree...

  7. What type of nursing is best for an introvert?

    Guest20074 replied to Llynn's topic in General Nursing

    NO!! You do deal less with patients' families, but the surgeons can be even worse. As an OR nurse, you're there for safety reasons and you *HAVE* to have the courage to speak up when you see that...

    Guest20074 replied to Sunflower3's topic in Agency Nurses

    Guest20074 replied to Sunflower3's topic in Agency Nurses

    Guest20074 replied to henrysnana's topic in Operating Room

    We use Techni-care in our OR quite a bit. Very effective and I love the fact that it's a very versatile cleaner

  13. Stick it out in the OR or not?

    Guest20074 replied to Chloe07's topic in Operating Room

    I disagree. Smaller O.R.'s often do not have first assistants, which means if you scrub, you will often have to first assist and scrub at the same time which is very difficult for a new nurse....

  14. Stick it out in the OR or not?

    Guest20074 replied to Chloe07's topic in Operating Room

    I'm in currently in the same boat myself and I've decided that maybe going to a smaller OR would be a good thing for me. If in the end it doesn't work out for you at the large teaching hospital, lots...

  16. Advice (kind of long)

    Guest20074 replied to 2ndChance's topic in Operating Room

    I worked on a surgical stepdown unit for 7 months and just recently started the OR internship. What I love the most about the OR is that the staff is friendly, they all say hello and take time to...

    Guest20074 replied to jhenbl's topic in Virginia Nursing

    It depends on where you posted your resume on the internet. Most hospitals like for you to fill out applications on their website instead of places like

  18. What Virginia towns/cities do you recommend working in and why?

    Guest20074 replied to fd5151's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Chesterfield and Midlothian which are both outside of Richmond (about 15 mins or so) are both pretty safe areas. I've got friends there and they love

  19. Norfolk/VB hospitals

    Guest20074 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I knew of a hospital somewhere that I knew for sure paid back new grad student loans, but I can't remember off the top of my head. I think it may have been the Bon Secours system. Not sure about...

    Guest20074 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Good luck to you

  23. Sentara School of Health Professions

    Guest20074 replied to capribry's topic in Virginia Nursing

    At first you'd only be going maybe 3-4 times a week from about 8 or 9am until noon, 1, or maybe 2pm at the latest. As you get more into the program, you'll be doing more 8 hour days to get you...

    Guest20074 replied to capribry's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I graduated in May of 2005 from there and it's a good program. Everyone in my class passed boards. I will say this, if you do go there will be lots of changes. For one, it's the only program that...
