Thank you! That helps! I have noticed job postings list having an MSN as preferred, so I would guess that would play a role into the pay. Maybe not!

Hello, I had found a RN pay rate outline for Queens (although now I can't find where I saw it at), and am wondering if there is anything similar for Straub? OR can anyone tell me what the RN pay is there for a RN MSN with almost 8 years of nursing experience? Ballpark figure, of course Thank you!

Hello, Thank you so much for the input! We are not going to buy right away - we are going to rent at first for the very reason you mentioned. We did meet with a realtor to get a feel for what the housing market looks likes, etc assuming we'd eventually want to buy when\if we decide where we'd like to be. I will look into the info you provided me with regarding jobs. I appreciate it! And yes, maybe we will cross paths!!

Thank you for your response! I am aware of the high cost of living We did meet with a realtor and looked at real estate when we visited a couple weeks ago. Fortunately my husband makes a decent living, so that helps :) I have been looking online and in comparison to St Louis, it appears the RN jobs are few and far between. Thanks again for your advice :)

Hello! My husband have been offered a promotion, which would mean moving our family from St. Louis to Hawaii. They are still negotiating between Oahu and the Big Island. It's looking like it will likely be Oahu. My question is - what is likelihood of finding a job? I am a RN, MSN and have 7.5 years of nursing experience, mostly in oncology. Also, my understanding is RN pay is around $45 for someone with my level of experience? Is this accurate? Is it any higher with a MSN? Any other info would be greatly appreciated! :) Oh, and I should note that my MSN is in nursing education. Thank you!!

Hello, I am the breast care navigator for a hospital in St. Louis. I will be taking over the planning for the breast cancer support group we have once a month. We like a have a different topic every month and bring in a guest speaker of possible. Any unique topics anyone can suggest? Thanks!!

Hello! Well that was my next question..... It seems like not all schools will accept Nurse Educators in to their DNP program? I had posted another thread on here asking if I could go on to do the DNP from the Nurse Educator. Where is it you are doing your DNP? Is it also online? Thanks!

Thank you Sue. I also was doing the ANP program at another school, and also did not like it. I think I'm going to do this! Thanks!

Nothing?????

Hello I just spoke with a recruiter from Chamberlain College of Nursing about their Nurse Educator MSN online program. Has anyone had any experience or known anyone who has with this program? Any info, good or bad is appreciated! I did my BSN online and love it! I'm really considering this program. I would like to hear from someone that knows anything about it! Thanks so much! :)

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows of any nursing school in St. Louis that will actually accept and transfer nursing classes from one nursing school to the next??? I need to transfer schools and am halfway through my nursing program. Any info would be great. Thanks~!!

There really isn't a specific "weekend program". For each class you take, there is one day of lecture and one day of clinical. I have never taken more than 2 classes at a time. (This is assuming you have your prereq's done already). It is just that you can sign up for any lecture either for a day or evening class. And as far as clinicals, you have the option of a day 7a-3p or evening 3p-11p or weekend (which would be on a sat or sun 7a-3p. It's very flexible. If you go to the school website and go to current students, it's shows the next semesters class schedule. That should give you an idea! hope that helps!!

Barnes Jewish Hospital has a $6,000.00 sign on bonus!!

Thanks for the info!!!:) The school I am currently at does not have an oncology NP program, but I'm sure some local college around here does. (In St. Louis). I will delve further into the CNS. I never really considered it before but maybe that would be a good profession as well. Ok well thanks again for the info!!!!!!! I appreciate it! :wink2:

Hello, first..... thanks for answering me. Second, I ask because ever since I have been in nursing school I've known I wanted to get my MSN and be a nurse practitioner. I used to think neonatal, but recently we had a rotation on a BMT floor and I REALLY liked it and was very interested in it. But, I did notice I didn't see any NP's on the floor. So I was wondering if that was a floor that did not utilize NP's. I am seriously considering working on this floor shortly after my boards, but I kinda want to work somewhere that I may have a future as a NP after I finish my MSN. It might sound silly, I know, but I was curious. Thanks!
