oops, this should be a private message but I cant figure out how to delete!

Ok, please tell me this is some sort of joke! NO WAY would a nurse with 3 or 4 yrs experience ever get paid this much, particularly in a contract situation! I am offended at such an offer if this is real, and you should be as well. Do more research i...

Hi! I have been interested in Agency nursing since nursing school, mostly for the flexibility, travel, you know-the perks! :) I elected to get some more ICU experience and ended up in a BCC class, hoping to take my CCRN in about 3 months or so. He...

I agree, it seems like once a place gets an impression of you thats it, unfortunately! A year of experience at a level one should help you land another good job; I also hear that often times the first ICU is the toughest! so hang in there (I tell m...

Im going Walden University and it seems fine so far!

You will see A LOT of interesting things at Denver Health, but Exempla has a great ICU training program. Also, you can try Centura-St. Anthony Central is a level one in Denver. I am trying to be PC here, but I would go anywhere else before Denver Hea...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Hi Divegirl! I live in the Centennial area too! so Welcome (soon)! I think you will enjoy it, but I am biased. How old are your kids?

Wow! That is pretty frickin' awesome. I was in a smaller ICU for about 10 months, then transferred and took a BCC class, finished orientation and have been there for about 4 months. Unfortunately, everyone knows you just finished this class and end...

There are three main players in denver, HealthOne, Centura, and maybe Exempla is the other. why a level 1? I have some recommendations; feel free to contact me and I will make some suggestions!

Hey Knobby! oh, you sound so frustrated! Sounds like they are hanging onto you while youre still obligated! My suggestion is to work like you have never worked before, if you are not already working yourself to the bone, get some good references, but...

Sorry to have to start a new thread, but I have a situation. Thoughts and input appreciated! I was in a small ICU for about 9 months. Loved it, but had to relocate for various reasons. My company dillydallied around until moving day, literally, to so...

Should I be picking up more chem courses (or others) while I am gaining ICU experience? or is it best to apply "cold"? I graduated with BSN in May 2006. I am planning on applying for CRNA school between 1-2 years. Love ICU, but my goal, similiar ...

Oh, yes, I have read some of the ICU book; the blue one, I have been told reads like stereo instructions, and yes it sure does! very dry, but great resource. Thanks!

I actually just moved, so no I cant move again! but good idea..... Also got a call back from the CNS, and feel more like this is where I need to go! such great educational opportunities. Thanks!:wink2:

Good luck in school!

Hi! I just wanted to prove I can post a nonrambling post.....not really! I enjoy doing the focused assessments, and total nursing care! and I feel like I am never alone. The teamwork rocks! oh, and diprovan is cool.....
