It sounds like you are a school nurse. I don't know much about school nursing but can you arrange a referral to a psychologist or someone who can say BS?

Home health is a large field of nursing. Home health can be as simple as babysitting a child with a few special needs for a 12 hour shift. If the child has a peg tube and needs medications and feedings throughout the day, a nurse could fill that kin...

Jail/prison Agency-sometimes they can find easier work with companies that do not mind working with new-ish grades. I used Maxim when I was a nurse for 9 months. Blood bank/plasma center Medical office Pre-op at a surgery center Hospice in a facil...

This probably isn't the best answer but the doctor is there for a reason. You were seeing things that were off and you called the doctor, as is appropriate. The doctor gave the order; the doctor sent the patient to the hospital!

I recently had a minor injury (shoulder strain) on a Med/Surg floor while I was training for the unit. Because it was minor, I think I received quite a bit of grief for it. I had to leave my patients with my preceptor and go to the ER for thhe examin...

While I agree with some of what the other posters said about there will be not-as-nice people in all aspects of life, I most definitely see it taken to the extreme in nursing. I have been a nurse 7 years and worked agency for a while so I have been t...

I think there are too many avenues to just hate all aspects of nursing. I have a list of things I hate about nursing. I hate working 12 hours without a lunch break. I hate being on-call 24/7. I hate poor staffing. I hate when management wants night s...

Go to Nevada State Jobs online. They list all they Nevada State Jobs and their salaries. :) Most jobs in Nevada are 12 hours. Nevada does not do time and a half after 8 hours. Time and a half only applies to over 40 hour work weeks

Renown said none of the unit managers will hire students from a school they are unfamiliar with. Maybe the situation will change once the Apollo school here starts sending clinical rotations to Renown. I understand why a manager would not want to h...

Renown came to my school at a recruiting fair. I thought it was a good oppurtunity. When I first applied I was told they wouldnt hire new grads for a couple months. A couple months later, I found out none of the managers will hire students from my...

I went into an interview but it was just HR. I did not go before the panel of a specific unit. HR said he would pass my papers along.

I went in for an interview about a month ago. They told me to come in for an interview. The interview seemed like it went well and I was told that my paperwork would be passed onto the ICU. On my way out the door he gave me a heads up that they wo...

I just applied at Renown. I made it into an interview but they said the position is not open for new graduates until August/September. I was told he would pass my paperwork on to the unit I want. Does anyone know how the process works and what I s...

hello. i was thinking about moving to reno, nv and needed to know what the pay is for new grads with an associates. i also wanted to know if washoe or st. mary's is the better hospital. any help would be great. thank you.

I also am a new graduate RN applying to Renown's ICU. How long did you have to wait before they called you back?

I have appied online with applications, resumes and coverletters. I have over 360 hours experience in the ICU from my clinical rotatations and preceptorship. I have a permanant rn license, ACLS, BLS, and almost 2 years of phlebotomy experience. It...

Maybe it is different where all you people are. In Nevada, I payed $7.50 and they gave me results in 2 days.

My study plan was short. I graduated April 3 and took the exam April 29. I did not have time before I graduated to study due to my 36-48 hours of clinicals I was doing every week on top of school. What I did: I got ready in the morning like I was g...

I used Kaplan and Saunders. Kaplan really teaches you how to read the questions the way the test expects you to.

I did about 900 questions off of the qbank. My average was in the low 60's. On the practice tests my scores ranged from 49-67 (Something like that anyways). My scores were not awesome. I took the Kaplan exit exam and scored a 71%. I passed the NC...

I passed the NCLEX with 75 questions. I felt that the beginning of the test gave me "difficult" questions and the end of the test gave me "easier/information style" questions.

I mostly used the Kaplan site and book. I would study about 8 hours a day (sometimes more/sometimes I took a day to myself). I would set up snacks and drinks and just sit at the computer studying. When I reviewed the Kaplan questions, I would thin...

I used Kaplan for less than 1 month, took the NCLEX and passed. My online subscription expires July 5, 2009. Message me for more information.

I asked at the center what "2 days means." I wanted to know if it meant 48 hours or 2 full days after the day of the test. They told me all they knew was "2 days."
