Look into agency nursing in that area. You can make between 38-42$/hour.

Kaplan!!!!!!!!!!!!:beercuphe

By the way, why doesn't anyone use the chat rooms?

Don't worry. After you get some experience you can try agency work making between 45 to 54 dollars per hour. Not bad for a 2 year degree!

Lecia, when our new era of nurses become experienced or well seasoned, do you think nurses will stop eating their young?

I use to work at St. Joe's in the ER. Great place to work. If you are relocating you should look into taking a travel assignment. I did it for 1.5 years. It was so worth it. Write me back if you have any questions. GO BLUE-NICK:pumpiron::cheers:

hi anne. i went right from school to the er. i was placed on a 4 month orientation with a day shift rn and a night shift rn. the day shift rn treated me horrible. the night shift nurse was awesome and eager to teach as the day shift nurse challenged me in unprofessional ways. orienting on days was very frustrating and had me rethinking my choice to become a rn. it's unfortunate nurses have a tendency to eat their young. i stuck it out because i saw the better half that existed on nights. around the 6 month mark everything came together. my nursing judgement was appropriate, my shills were sharp and i felt like an equal. things changed on day shift. i was now one of them starting the iv's they failed. i was grateful i was finally accepted, which is a big part of being comfortable on whichever unit you belong, but swore to myself i would lead a nursing career like my night shift preceptor. so, keep on keeping on because things will come together for you to. let's face it, the bulk of nursing is learned after you graduate and further compromised by certain staff members and the challenges of not being oriented properly to a unit. good luck anne-nick.

:cheers:Failed The First Time, Take The Kaplan Course.

I'm Not Sure On The Specifics, But Look Into The Airforce As Well. The Living Conditions Are Better And You Will Less Likely Be Deployed.

I Think It Differs Pending On The State You Are In. Whatever You Choose, Make Sure You Stay The Course.

I Failed My First Time Then Took The Kaplan Course And Passed Very Easily.

You Tend To Have That Slump Because Things Are Going To Start Coming Together For You Very Soon.

Congrats-that Long Journey Will Keep You So Busy It Will Feel Like A Very Short Journey At The End. Stay Positive.

I Am An Agency Nurse Who Works In Multiple Settings. Counting Twice Per Day Is Pretty Standard.
