  1. Floating all staff when census is zero

    Simply looking for any thoughts or experiences in regards to smaller facilities that deal with a zero census at times. Does your facility float staff? Will they float all LD staff, leaving no staff on...
  2. I have a nagging dilemma regarding an accident

    Perhaps you need to think of this as you would an incident occurring as a staff nurse in a hospital or long-term care facility. You would never turn over an incident report to anyone not w/in your...
  3. choosing an agency

    Hello, fellow nurses. I am new to agency staff nursing. I am in the process of checking out different opportunities in my area (Niceville/Ft. Walton Beach/Crestview/Destin, FL). I am already...
  4. I doubt i would spend $250 for oxygenation education-I would hope that you learned sufficient info. on that in school-besides that's pricey for a course on the subject. Anyway, I'm responding because...
  5. Pregnancy Discrimination - Interview

    BlueDevil,DNP: I'm surprised you admitted such a detailed hiring experience that you state was so recent. You may want to reconsider what you post on a public forum. Such detail of something so...
  6. OCU Kramer nursing

    Don't be scared...the instructors and your fellow students will smell the fear. It just takes a true commitment to make it through. You can't have the mindset that your family will come first or...
  7. OCU Kramer nursing

    Just a thought for everyone: If you do your research on any school with high NCLEX pass rates, then you will find that those schools do "weed out," as you call it, a significant portion of their...
  8. When I think about it, it's harder to think of someone with an MSN to precept Rn-BSN courses than it is to think of someone to precept form MSN (I can only think of doctors not MSN prepared...
  9. Unfortunately, I've never met a nurse who didn't complain about the lack of a schedule in nursing school. I have never heard of one with set hours/schedules. Things can even change as little as the...
  10. I hope someone answers...I have the same question. i'm hoping to go to USA's program next fall. I'm in Birmingham, but I would be willing to travel to Montgomery if it meant finally getting school...
  11. I haven't read the whole thread of responses, yet, but had some suggestions. I, too, have had difficulty finding employment as an RN even with experience as RN, LPN, and CNA. Anyway, I know of a...
  12. 92mxMom, I've read a few of your posts in my search for info on South Alabama's clinicals. I used to attend USA in hopes of doing the BSN accelerated program when I was an LPN. I was Waitlisted #75...
  13. All nursing schools that I know of do ERI testing. I went to LPN in Virginia in 2005 and we had to take them. Same at RN in Florida in 2008. We were told in the RN program that we had to pass test...
  14. Failure rate of nursing schools.

    Just a thought here, but I often attribute the increasing failure/dropout rates to the admission process (or what it has become over the last several years). At this time, it seems that the majority,...
  15. Health Insurance Between Assignments

    I don't think that answered the original question asked, and I'm wondering the same. I have found that maintaining my own insurance can actually cost the same or more than COBRA due to preexisting...
  16. Moving to Lansing area in a few months...

    Have you already accepted the position? I found this post in a search for "jobs in Lansing," as I, too, moved here from out of state. Jobs here are scarce unless you enjoy home health or traveling...
  17. Pearson Quick Results

    Found out just after 57 hours from my test that I passed! I guess the extra time was checking on the validity of my
  18. Pearson Quick Results

    I'll also add, so that I don't seem too disgruntled, that I took the NCLEX-PN in Alabama 3 years ago without complaints. Couldn't have been happier with the testing process, so now I regret having...
  19. Pearson Quick Results

    I, too, had difficulty with Pearson. I just took the NCLEX-RN on Aug. 4. I took it in Michigan, and I just moved here 1 week ago. When I presented my Alabama Driver's License with my ATT, the woman...
