  1. Discouraged new grad

    military spouse replied to paRN12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think you have to ask yourself some personal questions. How vested are you in this relationship? Is he willing to support you? Can he live off base? Can you live without health insurance? If...

  2. New nurse with LTC experience terminated from med surg floor

    military spouse replied to LTCnurse11's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Are you sure you want to work in an acute setting? It is 100% okay to not do it. I know, so often we are told to get that med/surg experience, and I do encourage it, but maybe you found out early...

  3. Part Time/PRN, does it ever turn into full time

    military spouse replied to sbearde7's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Absolutely! My last employer began hiring people prn in attempt to evaluate their performance and ability to work in a challenging setting prior to offering full-time employment. I think this was...

  4. Online RN-MSN Programs with Non-nursing Bachelor's

    military spouse replied to 777RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you want to enroll in a MSN program that doesn't involve a bridge, you might consider Excelsior or Gonzaga. They are the only two I am aware of that will allow a non-BSN student with a R.N. and...

  5. 7 weeks into orientation, now this?

    military spouse replied to born2circulateRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Maybe he does this with everyone he orients. Initially, he may allow you to do and then at the end give you the opportunity to follow him and fine-tune any skills and have the opportunity to ask...

  6. Getting time in when far from office

    military spouse posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hello all, Our hospice has decided to develop a team that will serve a different region of a metro area (about 50 miles away). Most of our patients and group homes will not allow visits before 0900...

  7. RN to MSN programs online?

    military spouse replied to MJB2010's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Gonzaga will definitely call you back and keep calling you :) I THINK their program was about $28,000 or so, double that of

  8. RN to MSN programs online?

    military spouse replied to MJB2010's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I know of Gonzaga and Excelsior that allow you to bypass the BSN and go directly into the

  9. EC BSN Program

    military spouse replied to BeachieRN84's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm not positive about the BSN, but it looks like they are online classes. I'm in their MSN program and the classes require weekly substantive postings and, generally, one individual paper and one...

  10. stepdown nurse relocating to AZ

    military spouse replied to tammyrn11's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not too sure about rents, but if you want to give me cross streets or neighborhood names, I'll gladly tell you what I know. Are you in NoVa? The west valley is a bit like Leesburg and those area...

  11. stepdown nurse relocating to AZ

    military spouse replied to tammyrn11's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Definitely concur that LP or Goodyear, particularly north of the freeway, are better choices. However, Avondale north of the freeway (Dysart and Indian School or Camelback) certainly are nice areas...

  12. VA Hospital

    military spouse replied to Guest296136's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Okay, I hear you. I guess we're better of returning to the suburbs of

  13. VA Hospital

    military spouse replied to Guest296136's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Is it almost impossible to get hired by the VA? Why don't people like Vegas? I would really like to find a government job with decent benefits including a pension. When I lived in AZ, I worked for...

  14. Do nurses get out on time working corrections?

    military spouse replied to Sensoria17's topic in Correctional

    I probably get out on time 90%. When I worked the infirmary, count and report took a bit longer, so maybe out on time to 30 minutes late. Also, depended on last minute admissions. I have also been...

  15. VA Hospital

    military spouse replied to Guest296136's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I will gladly give you kudos :yeah:Thanks for the response! Hubby is retired military and I would love to move back West. Grew up in CA, spent time in AZ and El Paso, TX. Have worked a variety of...

  16. VA Hospital

    military spouse replied to Guest296136's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Are they hiring people with the expectation that they start in about a year? How does that work?

  17. Unusual physician order

    military spouse replied to sweetnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    Doctors do crazy things :) We had a physician that would always write for a clean, quiet, private room for her patients. All but two of our rooms were semi-private, so she had to know it wasn't...

  18. What do you do on the drive to work?

    military spouse replied to whitecat5000's topic in General Nursing

    Out of curiosity, does the hotel give you a discount? We are in an area where working elsewhere might be worth my time, but I wasn't sure how the hotel thing

  19. What do you do on the drive to work?

    military spouse replied to whitecat5000's topic in General Nursing

    I drive a bit under an hour each way and most days I listen to Dave Ramsey. Helps to keep me motivated

  20. Prison job for female RN

    military spouse replied to luckystarRN's topic in Correctional

    You made me laugh about manipulating to get a piece of paper :) Don't EVEN get me started on the A and D ointment. I flat out tell them to buy their masturbating lotion at commissary. A and D is...

  21. staffing question

    military spouse replied to SC APRN's topic in General Nursing

    I should probably add that we were "on-call" for our entire 12 hour shift with a 1 hour recall. Technically, though, if you weren't called in by your tenth hour or so, you pretty much knew you...

  22. To the bedside, or correctional facility?

    military spouse replied to mom35's topic in Correctional

    I have been a correctional nurse for about 6 years, in two different states and I think it would be a rough first nursing job. Many inmates are trying to con you into all types of things and you...

  23. staffing question

    military spouse replied to SC APRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm always amazed that hospitals can get away with hiring nurses with the expectation that they work when scheduled, but if the census is low then they can cancel the nurse or place the nurse on call....

  24. Fastest way to LPN/RN?

    military spouse posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hello, I was wondering if somebody could give some insight into how a young adult could become a LPN or RN the quickest way possible in the PHX area. I've read and passed along some info on Ethel...
