As long as the class enhanced my knowledge or If I could state how this class would provide clinical growth, I did not have to be enrolled in a particular program. Technically, I was a graduate student who had not declared an advanced nursing focus.

Taking a class at the graduate level is best but the classes may be difficult to enroll in if your a non matriculating student. I took advantage of my employers tution reimbursement. I enrolled in adv. pathphys and pharm but had a very difficult en...

Nurses are so creative

I've seen some good options on Craiglist for housing but it seems the bargain maybe better if there are two people.

I only doing three months starting n January. Didn't want to work Christmas or New Years

Hi everyone,I have an interview this week to work in the SICU at Naples. I'm looking at the 3 or 4 month option. Does anyone know what rate that would be? Anyhow hope to see a few of you this winter!

Has anyone worked at this hospital before? How was the the pay, experience, housing ,etc.? Thanks

I am interested in traveling nursing this summer and want to know what's in a pay rate. I've read plenty of info but I still seem to not comprehend. My goal is to travel and bring home more mula than I make now. For instance my current base pay is $3...

So if I take the FREE Housing and FREE medical that should lower my pay rate? I don't need to make a ton more of money just enoug to keep even and feel like I should have stayed at my current job. If I maintain a tax home in a different location, the...

I have read multiple posts asking others to critique their chances of getting into nurse anesthesia school based on GPA. If you truly want to become a CRNA...just go for it. Do what it takes to boost your GPA,GRE and your overall resume. Don't let a...

The final choice is yours but I would go for a bachelor's. If you think about the economy, a lot of employers are preferencing bachelors over an associates, especially for new grads. I went to Mount Carmel and graduated in 2006 and I didn't owe 36...

My apologies I meant pulmonary airways...thanks for providing such great literature to make this "evidence based practice".

You did the right thing by turning down the O2 and the nebs helped to dilate the pulmonary arteries which allow for more gas exchange. The fact that the lady felt better with less oxygen may mean that she is a CO2 reatainer. The pathophys behind COPD...

Remember it is a contract and if they gave you a sign on bonus you may need to pay the hospital back, so yes they can withhold your check. Sorry...hope the contract was worth breaking.

Looking at all the other post, a few seem a bit harsh. If I'm reading between the lines correctly it seems as if your upset because you felt like your assignment was too heavy and you didn't get a lot of help from the charge nurse. Days like those ...

Thanks for the post, very helpful. Wish you well on your journey to CRNA school

I seriously am considering travel nursing in the summer of 2010. I would love to find a travel partner to go with. I am 29, been a RN for a little over 3 years. I have 2 years of stepdown experience and 1 year of ICU. Looking to travel in order to...

I haven't traveled yet probably going next April

I had the same situation happen to me not too long ago. I decided to relocate permanently in order to gain ICU experience for when I travel. Although I love the hospital, I'm not to crazy about the area. My mind keeps going back to travel nursing....

I am sorry that you're so overwhelmed that its affecting your health and stress level. Is it possible for you to express this concern to management? Are there other areas of nursing that interest you? I know that you have a lot of experience and s...
