Arg928, thanks! You've been super helpful :)

Arg928, thanks for the quick reply and useful info! Glad you like it because it sounded like there was a high turn-over rate and it made me a little cautious. I have had 3 years of hands on experience (med/surg and nursing home) but have been out of ...

Hi, idk if you are still following this thread, arg928, but I am considering a position with TeamHealth call center. I have never worked in a call center before and was wondering how it all works. Specifically, does the triage computer program tell y...

All the postings I've seen for dialysis clinics want nurses who are already certified and have experience. How do I become certified?

I'm going to be starting at a LTC facility next month, but have a few questions: 1) what is your typical patient load -they told me i would have 35-45 patients (one nurse doing assessments and the other doing meds) 2) does your facility have a P&...

it sure seems like you have to have experience before you can become certified. (same with case management cert too). in some ways it's almost like putting the cart before the horse. thanks for your help.

Thanks so much!

Yeah, i'm on the same page. Not really comfortable with the lack of a p&p. Thanks everybody

thanks so much. I was actually told that they don't have a P&P at all. i was kind of horrified and didn't know if that was normal.

I just saw an add for HEDIS in my area and was thinking of going for it. I haven't been doing any nursing at all for about 3 years though. Is that going to be a problem or is it pretty easy. I love paper work, cut and dry, fill in the blank type of j...

I have been looking into doing telephone triage work. I noticed that most companies want a decent amount of experience, especially if you are planning to work from home. I am an RN with only one and a half years of med/surg experience and that was 3 ...

I am interested in working from home, maybe doing work for an insurance company or something on the phone or computer. Does anyone have any information on this?thanks alot!

I'm an RN already, but my husband is thinking of getting his lpn and i was wondering if you know if CFCC offers a night/weekend lpn course at the ocala or lecanto campuses? thanks alot.

Anyone know of an lpn evening/weekend program a little more east? i'm about 2 hours east of memphis, half hour north of corinth ms. thanks

I live in west TN and am interested in doing work for an insurance company, but have found nothing in my area. The closest major city to me is Jackson. Anyone know any insurance company or telephone work out this way? Also, I only have a year and a h...

well, in my opinion, it's really nothing to worry too much about. LORs are always good to keep available, but if you don't have them right up front, I'm sure the hospital personelle will just ask you to submit them. No big deal really. I don't even k...

i'm an RN with a year and a half of med/surg experience. I graduated in 2004 and worked for a short time, now i stay at home with my kids (which is the best!). Anyways, i was terrified every second of clinicals when i was in school. i literally aced ...

I'm an RN thinking of applying at an in-patient mental health facility. I'm not really sure what to expect though. Can anyone tell me something about what the position would probably be like? thanks.

i'm an rn (associates degree only) with a year and a half of med/surg-ortho experience. thanks for the company names. i'll have to look into them.

i am an rn with an associates degree, and in my opinion it would be best to go straight for the bsn. after a year of pre-requisites and 2 years of core classes, you've already done 3 years. you might as well stick in for another year and get the next...
