   litepath replied to ekirkpat's topic in North Carolina

   Hey EKIRKPAT~ Don't be frustrated by the non-representation of Carolina hospitals. Look for NOVANT healthcare. They have at least one or two hospitals in Charlotte. I'll bet they have a pile of listings for jobs too. I work at a NOVANT site in Winsto...

   ~~We have four in our 14 bed Neurosurgical ICU here at Emory Hospital in Atlanta. This is a large teaching hospital with the CDC down the street on the edge of campus. Apparently the NP's here do quite a bit of assessment/progress notes and orders. I...

7. New grad pay scales around the state

   litepath replied to Jnet55's topic in Virginia

   I think the topic is appropriate for an open forum. The Hospitals don't want you to know what each other make$. The hospital I just left in Arlington had new grads starting at about $23/h. up from $21. I didn't see any gender bias or any other bias ...

   ~~From the male Nurses side~ ~~~Only thing that would concern me would be the potential for infection. ~~~To me it would seem that you'd want to keep the natural, gravity fed toilet working, with all the Natural Flora, even attached flora regularly ...

10. New Grad sign-on bonus negotiation

    litepath replied to sitterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    My best friend sells real estate and she thinks I'm nuts for not trying. Makes sense to me if you're willing to accept a no for the bonus and a no for a position, probably at nearly the same time. I recently visited the city where I'm moving to ...

    litepath replied to Rootbear76's topic in General Nursing

    Woo hoo~~123!! Whats that mean?? IQ is what intelligence tests measure..a quotient. That high IQ tells you, you will probably do well in your pursuit of subject matter in school, but it doesn't clue you in on whether your dexterity skills, critical t...
