1996RN

I'm starting classes online next week to go RN to MSN- it skips over BSN by only 3 classes, at Grand Canyon University. Has anyone done this or is anyone thinking about it or doing it? I'd love to find a buddy in the program. Thanks.

Hi all, Hopefully someone is still reading this forum and can help me out. I'm an ADN RN working towards my BSN (will receive this fall) and my MSN in nursing education which I'll receive in 2012. I was recently hired as a LVN/LPN instructor- both c...

i have been working in the pacu of a surgery center for a few months now, feel like i've caught on pretty good and am confident in my work. however, recently had one pt who was a lap chole and had pain level of 0, but still gave her 2 lortab and tra...

Did you end up getting the job? If so (or not), please email me. I am interviewing for manager on Monday. Thanks.

the students were very cut-throat and if you didn't basically tell them everything that was on their quizzes and exams, they went straight to the DON and complained on me. I received a lot of attitude and mumbles of how bad of an instructor i was. ...

well what i quickly learned that they fully expected me to use a variety of creative teaching, not just lecture. i was on a serious time crunch the whole time i was there. there was always some sort of activity by the school or evals on their last i...

I'm currently living in the DFW area of TX and am a L&D nurse and the job situation is very sparse. So I am looking to travel to other cities in Texas to work, probably do like 7 on, 7 off and fly or drive home, depending on the distance. Does an...

also make sure to voice that in emergent or questionable situations, you would not hesitate to contact the MD on call in the middle of the night, cuz that happens all the time, and they would rather you err on the safe side than take things into your...

tell me what you would do if you had multiple urgent/emergent events going on at the same time? tell me of a time when you worked well with a team and how the outcome was positive, tell me of a time when a team worked negatively and the outcome was n...

Unless you know for a fact that the FOB doesn't know about the HIV, then you can't do anything. And even then, you can't really do anything unless there is a state law (like Texas) that prosecutes HIV+ people for giving HIV to unsuspecting partners, ...

i have a friend who was fired for a negative comment she posted on one of these sites.

regardless of the bad news lately, parkland hospital is the best place to get a start as a new grad. you will see every single complication and possibility that will ever happen, and it will boost your confidence and really look great on your resume.

yeah well tell that to their HR dept! i applied there almost 2 months ago!!

Well, I had a good interview today at a psych facility that has about 5-6 specialized units, and pretty sure I'll get the job. I'm excited for the change. I've done L&D for the past 12 yrs. I will be working 3-11 shift, and I know that is difficu...

I've been a RN for 15 yrs and have been in the same specialty for 12 yrs. I've never had a problem getting a job, did travel nursing for a few years, and was at a day job for the past year. things got bad there- the management totally lost control an...

i've been a RN for 15 yrs, none of that being psych. i'm in a situation right now where a job in psych may be my only option. i am very open to it, it's not like i hate the idea. i worked for 2 yrs in an ER situation where i encountered quite a bit o...

i went the ADN route and graduated back in 1996, and never had any intention on getting my BSN, i figured i still had no problem getting jobs, what was the difference? but then i got a job where they had magnet status and really nicely pushed their ...

maybe work some magic and make the perfect job appear on my doorstep tomorrow? lol i know you guys cant help, i guess i'm just here to pout and vent about how i've been the gold-star nurse for 15 yrs and all of a sudden, since 'the event' happened l...

i dont necessarily let them know i'm a nurse, only if they are friendly and seem receptive, or are around my age or younger. i feel often intimidated by older nurses and am afraid they might think i was bragging or something, or going to try to tell ...

Sorry I'm plagiarizing this intro to a post because I thought it was awesome. Hope the OP doesn't mind. I would like to use this thread for all of us attending or having attended GCU. I am going to begin classes next week in the RN to MSN/E...

i dont know about where you can find a video, but main things to remember are to support the perineum (if you have time... lol) as the head is coming out, then always check for a cord around the neck before delivering the body, then remind them to pu...

agree with RN2B, but medical city is your best bet. it's a huge hospital where you'll get great experience and have better odds at finding a job. medical center of plano is smaller and med ctr mckinney is even tinier and i haven't heard the greates...

the majority of birth plans are written without any real knowledge of what goes on in L&D. sure you can read all the websites and watch all of the episodes of 'the baby story' you want, but still you have no clue about what goes on to save you a...

yes, great job and congrats! just don't be one of those nurses who stops their education there. keep going after earning a little bit of money, it will be totally worth it!

i don't know what to say about your injury and work experience and all of that, but i can give you a good resource to get connections and info about travel nursing. i travel nursed for 3 yrs and had a great time, made lots of money, lots of friends ...
