ZooMommyRN ADN, RN

Sorry your shadow and interview was canceled, what unit are you looking at? I am in Peds ER so our paths might cross ? good luck!!

I started out in a very small ER in SW Florida, I saw WAY more fresh trauma there than I do now in a Level 1 Peds ER, the majority of our trauma cases now are what we call "recycled" and everything is basically done by the time they hit our bay. You ...

All new grads in the ER program at the UofM system are required to work a full 40 hr appointment during orientation for 6 months then continue at 40hours for another 6 months, then they can request a change in appointment, not sure if the floors requ...

It hasnt been too bad so far, my hardest course so was biochem, i took stats 10 years ago and managed to remember enough to test out after a few weeks. There is a lot of chance for help and instructors have been quick to respond to questions. If you...

All BSN programs I have seen require those. Most ADN programs also include microbiology as well, I honestly dont think you will find a BSN program without those either as a prerequisite or as part of the program.

I am about 1/2 way through Western Governor's BSN and like it so far, it is CCNE accredited, same as UM, MSU, EMU etc

A BSN is almost required now to get in at U of M now that they have been awarded magnet status, as far as where the degree comes from, that would vary among management, our unit has hired new grads from all over and seems that we get less UM grads th...

I came up to about 67K since it's $1,353 per unit and you need 55 to graduate and that's not counting any other fees, full tuition $75,538 is according to theirs but I don't see where room and board is figured in especially as it's online, I'd talk ...

That's a typical day in my world lol

wow I just did the math for this program as I hadn't heard of them before and just had a run of SVT, is this your only option? And I thought the local university $44,000ish was a lot (this from someone who until just this year drug her heels at obtai...

Best way to get accurate information would be to call the CA BON, I'm sure they also have lots of information and FAQ on their webpage as well, good luck!

No one questions Diarrhea seriously though, they aren't allowed to ask specifics here when you call off, if you are actually sick and get a doctor's note all missed days just count as one.

My biggest frustration is that I have had some hit the unit with the mentality that they are instantly better than someone because they have a BSN, most don't even realize their preceptors are primarily ADN nurses because we are the ones with the mos...

My husband's family is down between Dayton & Cinci, when we visit they try recruiting me so we'll move closer, but since I don't hold my BSN yet I am seriously limited and would be looking at a sizable pay cut, I was told Kettering hires ADN in B...

I opted to do online through WGU, so far I've finished two classes since starting in July. My manager is working to get it approved to tuition reimbursement since it's CCNE accredited like UM-FLint, EMU etc but they are competency based, prove you kn...

Anywhere near a major University should have a bridge program, you'll have to wait it out for a year or pay astronomical out of state fees, as for pay, I didn't come close to that as an RN in FL so I left and moved north, COL was pretty high and we w...

You can switch, there are also other areas near downtown that you can utilize with a blue pass as well

I work Days and have a blue pass, it's about 65$ a month, I picked blue when I first hired in on nights that way I wouldn't miss the money since I never had it if that makes sense, parking at night is a lot easier and with the cheap (around $20 a mon...

They have a completely separate peds hospital, they outgrew the old one so when they built the new one 5 years ago they open a completely new PEDs ER. My coworkers in Florida thought I was joking when I put in my resignation and told then I took a po...

they have a job fair coming up soon so many may be posted just before or during that time, watch the site daily, I know several of the adult units are using CSR on a regular basis so they may be ready to start hiring again. I live about an hour SE a...

I have worked in the Peds ER for 5 years and love it, I have a friend who works CSR in the telemetry cluster and she has days that are hit or miss. Do you have your BSN? We just got magnet so without that it's tough to near impossible to get hired n...

Saline & Clinton have good schools and decent prices homes, depends on your budget, go a bit farther south to Adrian and you'll get a lot more home for your money and the schools are still good, our county has an extension of Jackson college kids...

you can live just outside of AA and save a lot of money, do you have a BSN? UofM is currently seeking magnet status so it is literally impossible for an ADN to be hired right now, only if they are close to completion of a BSN program can the manager...

I'm only familiar with my little town is SE MI as far as living and schools, our cost of living pretty low, schools are good and we have an extension of Jackson College in town kids can attend in HS, my middle one is completing their culinary program...

Do you have a BSN? U of M is currently seeking magnet so it literally takes an act of God to get hired without it right now, however you will enjoy a sweet pay bump, I left FL 4 yrs ago and work at UofM in the PEDs ER
