  1. Austin, Seton-Brackenridge

    Would anyone share knowledge of Seton-Brackenridge. Hear it is a great place, but now from anyone that has worked there. Any information about the area, where to live (and not), safe areas to walk and activities will be appreciated.
  2. Transitioning from full time nurse to travel nurse

  4. Is it time to leave Arizona?

    Worked a contract in Tucson last summer and loved it. Hot, Hot and Hot, love every minute of it and will go back in a heart beat. Years ago I worked in Phoenix, but not the small town atmosphere as Tucson. Tucson is spread out, easy to navigate, frie...

    Do all colleges, brick and mortar/on-line require clinicals for ADN to BSN????
  11. New ICU traveler - Need advice!

    Check CA BOA web page for nursing license requirements. Pay specific attention to the finger pring portion. If you travel to CA and get the digital finger prints the license will come quicker. Look up any state you want to get RN license, there is w...

    Go with your gut instinct. If a job doesn't feel right over the telephone it will only be worse when you get there and try to work. Just my 0.2
  13. Best Nursing Shoes/Sneakers

    When my feet hurt I hurt all over....Anyone else expeience this? Love my Skechers!!!
  14. Best Nursing Shoes/Sneakers

    I was not impressed with their web prices as they are similar to store prices. They do look good in many styles. Danskos are too hard with little cushion, never found a comfortable pair that fits.
  15. Best Nursing Shoes/Sneakers

  17. Want out of contract

    Sounded like a good deal, the hospital paid out big bucks for you. Sure could have used that myself..but counted my blessings to get a job and experience. My drive was 110 miles to work round trip. Now I'm a Travel Nurse. Get paid experience and spre...

  19. nursing policy on handling infant that is not bathed

    Of course the babies are swaddled, with hats on...PP nurses do a head to toe each 8 hrs...in between this we take their vitals, monitor their I&O, feedings, weigh, change their bottoms, yes the blankes and nities come off..They are bathed under a...
  20. ADN...is it worth the time?

    Do you think all the ADN schools will be closed? Too bad for community colleges and the Nurse instructors...
  21. ADN...is it worth the time?

    When ADN schools close, start worrying about hospitals not wanting to hire them. Some won't, (or they claim), stay away from them. Remember it is the same NCLEX for everyone to pass, some need a couple of years to do this some need 4....Working alon...
  22. Day shifts as a traveler?

    Sign up with several companies...Don't limit yourself to just 2. There are too many companies out there willing to work with their nurses. If we aren't working they aren't getting paid either....
  23. Central Service Tech vs. Surgical Tech

    I am a surgical technologist..took pretty much the same courses as RN...Worked and traveled as CST/ST. Never getting the same respect as RN's I went back to school and am RN now. also worked in sterile processing, washing, racking and steralizing ins...
  24. How powerful are hospital unions?

    This post needs to be moved to a different thread. Responding and not having knowledge of compact requirements and union requirements should not happen. Good Bye!
  25. How powerful are hospital unions?

    I am a compact RN with multiple license....We are finger printed, back ground check, credit check, child support check...on and on with our CHECKS. Sure some must fall fall thru the crack, but whose fault is that?
