I recently completed a phone interview with Aetna for a Utilization Management Nurse Consultant position. The recruiter said I would be expected to complete 20 reviews each day. I'm coming from a bedside position so I have nothing to compare this num...

I wasn't hired for the position. Sorry I don't have any additional information to share or even about the interview since it was two years ago. Good luck.

I'm wondering the same thing and look forward to seeing the responses.

I've been a nurse for a few years and recently started NP school and I find myself wondering if this is the right career path for me. I do think I would enjoy working as a NP, but I also feel like I would enjoy case management too as this is somethin...

Thank you. I will be paying for school with a combination of money I've saved, scholarships, and employer tuition reimbursement. There is no way to know 100% what's the best decision so fingers crossed on this one.

I interviewed for a position in a Level II NICU and was told that for all of the level II positions in the hospital system...there is only one nurse per shift( they will add another nurse if the census gets above 3 babies). I've always worked in leve...

I didn't accept the job. I wouldn't feel comfortable and it seems dangerous. It just seems crazy that it's allowed. I wanted to hear what everyone else thought.

Hello. I recently found out I'll be relocating for my husbands job. I've been a RN for almost 6 years and was wondering how much I could expect to earn in the Austin area? Any recommendations for hospitals?

Thank you for responding. I currently live in an area where the cost of living is higher and I make in that range now. I'd be happy if I was offered that range!

Hello. I'm planning on relocating to the Tampa area and wanted to know how much I could expect to make with 5.5 years of experience? I'm just trying to get a ballpark idea before I interview. Thank you.

Thank you ICUNole. I read a post from 3 years ago that said they were offered a little less than. 24.50 so I felt 19.50 was not accurate. I know they have set pay scales , but l'll see what I can negotiate

I'm in the same position...transfered to postpartum from another unit and I want to go back to my old speciality. My hospital says no transfers for 6m, but I spoke to someone yesterday who transfered back to her old unit after 3. I'm hoping they can ...

I finally got my ATT! After reading a PDF that was sent with the ATT it looks like Virginia doesn't participate in the quick results....is this true? If it's true, what is the quickest way to find out that you passed? Thanks :)

Hello everyone. I will be interviewing soon for a school nurse job. I work night shift at my hospital and will be leaving work and heading directly to the school for an interview in morning. Would it be inappropriate or looked down upon to wear scrub...

Thank you all for responding! I figured the respectable thing for me to do was to dress up but I just wanted to check to see if I could get out of it . I'll wear black slacks and a nice button down top.

Thanks MBARNBSN. That's good advice...I plan on getting a hold of a few nurses who do that job.

Thank you I appreciate the responses. I'll apply for the second position.

Hello. I recently interviewed for a public health position. I feel the interview went well but I won't hear back for a few weeks. The same department has a new position posted on their website( that is very similar to the the job I interviewed for). ...

In the unit I work on attendings come in the rooms/pods to round with residents on pts. All of the older nurses leap out of their seats to let the doctors sit. If I 'm charting or doing some other sort of meaningful work I will remain seated (if I ...

This is generalizing... but I feel like a lot of NICUs have too many nurses with type A anal personalities. It's refreshing to work with more relaxed, go with the flow type nurses . I'm anal in my personal life, but not at work...

I graduated in May and was offered a job in March. I had no contacts at the hospital....I relied on my work experience and cover letter and it worked. Start applying as early as the recruiters will allow you to. Be persistent and sell yourself! My te...

It seemed a little too elementary for me in the fact that I didn't get much from it. I enjoyed watching the story of the baby with Hypoplastic Left Heart on Boston Med though.

when you review the questions from kaplan do you just read the rationale and move to the next question? i’m only asking because the way i studied was to read the rationale and then look up the topic in the kaplan/and/or sauders (even if i got the que...

it means you got a 60%....that's all. they recommend 60-65%, so i'd say you're fine. focus on reviewing all 265 questions from that test instead of worrying about your score.

I found out today I passed my NCLEX RN! I’ve had a job lined up for a few months, but I wanted to wait to post here until I passed the NCLEX (so I didn’t jix myself). I’m starting in August in a level III. I feel so blessed to not only have a job, bu...
