  1. Question for Any of You That Have Switched Careers to Nursing?

    aeronursenj replied to PhilaGuy's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was in upper management for 12 years, and although I have only been a nurse for 1 year I never looked back. The doors are open very wide in nursing. I would say make sure you have the A & P down...

    aeronursenj replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

  5. Capital Health System - Fuld & Mercer Campuses

    aeronursenj replied to Qtp2t RN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Yes they do. Once you graduate you go to HR and see what is open. And they set up a time frame for you to take your boards. Until that time you do your orientation and follow your preceptor. However...

  6. Capital Health System - Fuld & Mercer Campuses

    aeronursenj replied to Qtp2t RN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I have worked at both campuses now and can say that rn2be is right for the most part. They have hired people for the STU, ICU and the ED, but to get into the actual trauma bays, you have to have the...

    In our Pediatric ED they average 32 visits for a 24 hour period and one day in Feburary 08, they had 99 visits in an 15 hour period. Amazingly not one person was admitted. (it is an inner city...

    aeronursenj replied to emergencyRN757's topic in First Year After Licensure

    From my experience (2 months being a nurse for 1 year) I did Med-sug for 6 months then went over to peds. (A whole other story) I am thinking of going to ICU and they said yes, the PACU told me that I...

  13. Skip urgent care, Come to our ER!

    aeronursenj replied to New2ER's topic in General Nursing

    As long as the hospital can get some kind of money out of somebody (even 100.00 bucks for cream for that pimple on the back of a neck) they will feed into some hypochondriacs fear and have them...

    aeronursenj replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, I totally understand. The hospital I work in has a unionized "service aides" position. Well they do nothing but a bed bath (for two of your 7-8 pts.) and maybe set up a tray and do vitals. That...
