harvestmoon RN

Last night was a *** show and I'm looking for pointers. New grad; licensed for 9 months and 3 months into first real hospital job (step down ICU). I'm also 60 years old (and I wonder if that has anything to do with it). Our unit does V/S q.4, fo...

WGU is around $4K each term (6 months and you can complete as many classes as you want in each term)

I misswrote - they don't change 3 times; they change twice. I get 2-3 NAs though.

So I'm a new grad at 60 (graduated last year at the start of Covid) and worked C-19 testing/vaccination clinics until I got a job in an ER (go figure), which I thought was going to be my dream job (very small rural ER and you do everything from UC to...

I gave NAs assignments at 2000 and I have no idea where they went. I wonder if they were as overwhelmed as we were. I tried at 0700 but the day NA said the night one should have done what I asked him to do and by that time I was so over everything I ...

Pretty much all our patients on TPN get insulin. I had a covid patient on massive steroids getting insulin but she was not diabetic. I've only worked for 3 months but that's what's come up so far. so plan was BG q.4 and cover according to proto...

I live in south Minneapolis and have biked to work locations from St Paul to brooklyn park to edina and SLP. Minneapolis has great transport options

I work at the MSP VA. I would say floor nursing is good but all the clinics (endo, GI, onc, etc.) are kind of little kingdoms and can be incredibly difficult if you don't get along with the NM. I'm floating all around and there are some really good o...

I got my BSN in December and I'm looking to get a FNP; not that interested in DNP. From what I've found, BSN-FNP has just around 20 more credits compared to MSN-FNP. WGU's BSN-MSN is 36 units so it really doesn;t make sense to me to do WGU. Has anyo...

If you're on the fast-track system, weeks. If you're not fast-tracked, then forever and a day...

I am in the process of credentialing (new grad RN) for a 13-month RN outpatient (I believe) job at the VA hospital in MN. I think I'm going to be working in their respiratory unit but I really don't know. The job title seems to be "care manager"?? ...

thanks so much! I got fingerprinted yesterday, along with the physical exam so I'm thinking a start date is getting closer. ?

Yeah, I've run into issues. I emailed vetpro and it took them a week to respond. I haven't tried their "fix" but I'm not really optimistic, but we'll see.

So, I"m an old new grad (will be 60 this year) and am contemplating 2 job offers. I have ADN (attending WGU for BSN-expected May next year or earlier). I need to insure a 20, 18, and 24yo in addition to myself and my husband, possibly the 26yo but I...

I don't know if you are still on allnurses, but how is this working out? I was offered a 13-month temporary position and I am almost done with vetpro (and the expedited stuff). setting up the physical exam next. are you enjoying the VA? do you think ...

I, too, took the NCLEX during COVID and honestly I think we got a good deal on that. Ample time to study, lots of accomodations, fewer questions - I saw all that as positives. I took an NA job before I passed boards (and by happenstance got a M...

Our timelines are very similar. I had to provide health insurance to the family so I am continuing to work as an NA on the Med Surg floor while continuing to apply to positions. I initially kept every job application recorded in a spreadsheet but I'...

thanks. I am still a bit unclear on the "offer". I accepted an offer today but I honestly don't think I applied for the job I was offered and since it was offered through HR she didn't have much information on it. I think it might be a clinic, not ...

I'm starting to realize I might be too old to eventually work in the ER but I do enjoy the little of hospital nursing I've been exposed to as an NA (Med Surg). I currently have two offers after months of not even a call back. One is a temporary, 13 ...

I actually chose the NA job. The 82-mile RT job did not offer health insurance that one of my kids could use and the offer turned out not to be solid - it is prospectively for November. Relocating would be all but impossible right now. We just moved...

I graduated into a market of furloughed RNs and cancelled surgeries. Surgeons had been furloughed. I actually accepted a job as a nursing assistant and the market for RNs seems to be opening now. I'm in the cold part of the Midwest. I have applie...

I have only had my license for 6 days so far ? so I'm not terribly worried about time yet, but yeah, that is in the back of my head. I do live in the states but prefer to commute by bike to decrease my carbon footprint (and waistline :)). There are ...

Yes, I have read that here but when COVID hit our state our instructors told us to expect to work as NAs until the market opened up. I will check the nurse practice act to be certain though. I do have personal knowledge of other RNs working as NAs ...

Does anyone have any idea how long the BON takes to give the license after NCLEX?
