hello all, i am a new rn grad. i have the opportunity to work on h60 the neuro floor. does anyone know if this is technically considered med/surg? any input would be great!! i am deciding whether i am going to take the "offer" or not! thanks!

They are being cheap by hiring you in as an "LPN" but you are an RN. It's not a smart move on your part... That's NOT a good company. They may want you to do RN things but only pay you as an LPN. No way!!!

First let me say that I truly love this site. I do come here quite frequently for advice. However, one thing that I truly despise is when people on here think that they know everything and they obviously do not. They are giving "bad" advice to peo...

IMO: If you need to get a little nasty then u need to get a little nasty. We are here to take care of the patients not to coddle those that we work with! :)

IMO... LTC is not good enough experience for the hospital. I did LTC for 7 years and I have been in the hospital for 2 years. HUGE DIFFERENCE!

so, my *confused* patient had a fountain drink of pepsi sitting on his overbed table. when i walked into his room, he was putting the lid back on. i thought he must have been thristy and was eating the ice cubes. i gave him his pills and then hand...

I was just wondering why that under the nursing specialties there isn't anything about neuro?? I would consider neuro more of a speciality than half of the other titles listed. Just curious if anyone could help me out on this one.

my first year of being an rn is almost over. i have to say that i have alot of opinions! first of all, let me tell you that i was a cna for 2 years (ltc), an lpn for 5 years (ltc), and an rn for almost 1 year (cleveland clinic). so yeah, been there...

Thanks for the encouraging words! I am glad that somebody shares my opinion! :)

hello, i am going to be moving to vancouver in a few months and i wondered if anyone could tell me the usual starting wage for an rn? i would like to work in a hopsital preferrably a neuro floor. i live in ohio right now and i make $25.00/hour. i ...

i am so happy!! i made it! i got the results of my final back today and i got a 100/115. thank god!! all i needed was a 39 but i got way higher than that. i am so happy its over!! i dont know if i could have done it again! all i have to say is...

Thanks everybody!!!! I had my pinning ceremony tonight and it went great!!! I can't wait till tomorrow!! :)

Around here... they call them STNA's/CNA's in the nursing homes. In the hospitals...they have all kinds of names.. LOL!! Patient care technicians is a popular term. I personally dont like any of the hospitals around here. I guess that St. E's is ...

Thanks so much for all the good info. I start on July 7th. I cannot wait. I am hoping to take my boards by the end of June. I really just want to get moved and get everything taken care of. I so did not want to to go to med/surg. I really want...

thanks for the info. i kinda figured that it was going to be one of those floors but i went ahead and accepted the offer. i figure that even if its not exactly what i want to do, its still going to be experience. and once my contract is up ..if i ...

i didn't realize just how crazy the last couple months were going to be. i cannot wait for nursing school to be done. there is no way that i am going to give up on getting the position that i truly want. overall goal is to work for a level 1 trau...

everything is such a mess right now. i am currently an lpn. i graduate from my rn program on may 9th. for that i am excited!! i have an excellent gpa and i have always gotten really good grades on the tests. now here's the bad part..... i failed...

thank you for the advice. i have definitely learned alot with this whole experience. i received an email from them stating that the other position that i applied for was ready to interview me. hoepfully i get it. i have got lots of interviewing s...

this is the final year that they are allowing us to graduate. starting with the next class...if you dont pass the hesi then you fail the whole program and you don't graduate. i guess that their scores have not been too great over the past few years...

passing on our hesi is 850. i can't take it again cause they don't offer it again. i am definitely not going to pay to take it again either. i think it would be a waste of money for me. i have no choice about the job. i have to interview asap. ...

I am going to be in the ER. I am so excited because I get a four month orientation. WOW!! I know that I am really going to need it. I was disappointed with $25 an hour but after reading al these posts...I guess that I am lucky. I dont know if th...

I know that this is an old post but I came upon some info about this. I am a nursing student and I graduate from school in May. The clinic gave me $10,000 last summer in order to work for them for two years. I will be starting out at $25 an hour. ...

:balloons:I am so excited. I just found out that I got a scholarship from the Cleveland Clinic. It's $10,000. WOW!! I am happy!! I graduate in May and then I already have a job lined up!! YEA!!!!!!!!!:balloons::mortarboard:

okay so here's my point. i have been reading several things on here about "i have my bsn so therefore i should make more money..blah, blah, blah" frankly i am sick of hearing it. let me give you a little background on me before i finish what i star...

I am an LPN right now and I will graduate with my RN degree next month from Kent State East Liverpool. I want to move to the Cleveland area and get hired at the Cleveland Clinic. Anybody know anything about such things as starting pay for a new gra...
