I need to get at least 3 interviews so if anyone else has any opinions or wouldn't mind taking a moment to answer the questions that would be great! Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I was looking for anyone with a faith/religious background other than Christian to answer a few questions for a school paper I have to write. It doesn't have to be long drawn out answers. Anything will work, and it doesn't matter what yo...

Thank you very much for your reply Union. That does help my studys and I appreciate your time! Thanks again!

Hi everyone! My husband and I are considering a relocation from Chicago down to Austin. I wanted to get some info on the area... Weather, cost of living, expected wages for an RN with a year of experience, how the job market is - if a lot of places a...

hey everyone! a little background information: i'm in my late 20's and live in chicago and am sick and tired of the weather! my husband and i are looking to move somewhere nice and warm with a great outdoor life. i started as an rn in august '09 on a...

Hi Mid. Thanks for the reply. I was actually looking at the arrowhead area but hadn't heard anything about it yet, so thanks for the info. Could you PM me some of those hospitals that I wouldn't want to work at? Or if there's any particular reasons y...

We'd love to be able to go hiking and enjoy the outdoors. We don't have a family yet, but we would like the typical suburb living with a nice neighborhood with parks and activities, I'd also like to be semi close to work, (but I have to find a job fi...

Thanks for everyone's replies. They have all been very helpful. The more I look into AZ the more excited my husband and I get! We're in the process of planning a trip some time in April. Please keep the suggestions coming about neighborhoods, hospita...

Thanks Bug! Yeah that was a HUGE help! I'll definitely find a job before I come out, and it sounds like it would definitely be worth the effort. If anyone else has any suggestions/comments or anything please keep it coming!

Harper college in palatine... you have to take the hesi but it doesn't matter if you pass or not. It's just for your personal information.

Hey all! So I'm graduating nursing school this month (actually my final is tomorrow - Yay!!) and I was offered a position on the Ortho/Neuro unit at my hospital. I decided to take it even though I'm totally freaking out about it now. Don't get me wro...

hey all! so i have a dilemma. i have an interview with hr coming up on friday for a new grad position (i graduate in may! yay!) and people have been telling me that hr will ask what your top 2 positions are that you want, but they're not telling anyo...

I work on a mother/baby unit so our census is always up and down. We have a book on the floor that keeps track of all the employees and the date and hours they were downstaffed, and there's also a sheet where people can sign up for voluntary downstaf...

I'm not a nurse yet, but I do work at a hospital as a nursing assistant. They didn't do a credit check on me (that I knew about), but I have heard of places doing that in the area, so I would keep that in mind. Also, usually people don't claim bankru...

I'm still in school, so I can't say anything for sure. But I started school saying there was NO WAY I'd do anything OB - then we had our OB rotation and I fell in love with it. I'm now working on a mother-baby floor as a CNA! So not to swear anythin...

Mr. Croaker, of course everyone on this site realizes that you need an education, and a very tough education at that, to become an RN. We're all RNs/NS/or future NS. (That's just not being very nice). There are tons and tons of statistics out there ...

First off i think this lady is really pushing her luck. Don't let it get to you too much, soon enough she'll be gone. Excuses only last so long. But I have a question. One of my friends works at a hospital on the night shift and she says that occatio...

So anyways.... I think that the next time she asks you that, very nicely - in front of everyone - tell her you've done some research, but was unable to find the answer and would greatly apperciate the teaching if she could show you how/tell you what...

While I don't have any suggestions I can sympathize with you. I just started working nights, and it totally kills your routine. I'm just a tech/CNA and I'm still in nursing school so that makes it hard going from work to school to bed then back to wo...

First of all, whatever you decide to do it sounds like you'll do fantastic with it. You're organized, youre thinking ahead, and you're planning. Great qualities to have in nursing/nursing school. My first semester I had my 9 hour nursing courses, the...

I myself have not been there, but a bunch of my friends in class went to their hospital for clinical and everyone had HORRIBLE experiences. Every single person I spoke to said they would never step foot in that hospital ever again. not to sound too o...

First of all I have to say that I agree with almost every single poster so far. Leave the jerk! I know it's so much harder said than done, but trust me, you will be SO much happier down the road. I also had a similar situtation when I was close to yo...

My mom told me this story, and I wanted to share. When her hospital went to computer charting they had their set computers that were on desks and they also had mobile laptop type computers that they could roll into patient's rooms for admissions and ...

I've heard, from talking to a few nurses - not from personal experience, that L&Ds really love ICU experience. Since they are specialized, and they are a type of critical care unit a lot of managers look for people with ICU or critical care exper...

Okay, so I just heard today that my school is refusing to let us do a pinning ceremony for the graduating nursing class! They said if you want to "graduate" you can do it like everyone else at the normal graduation, and we'll just give you a pin ther...
