Jenfire BSN, RN

I'm strongly considering a move to Grand Junction Colorado. I have a lot of experience in ER, last two years I have been in PACU. I have 34 years total experience. I am BSN. What kind of pay would i be looking at and what are the opportunities lik...

I have a BSN and am making over 38 per hour, plus charge pay and night shift diff. Not to mention they are really nice people that work there!

Better than Denver. Community is looking for ICU nurses! My base rate is awesome!

Yes I did end up moving to Grand Junction! And I got a wonderful job at Community Hospital. I much prefer them over St Mary's in the interview. Here is a thought for you. While Grand Junction would be a wonderful place to start - consider too Fo...

1) Establish a great reputation as a nurse. 2) make friends with the managers and take certification courses. 3) Read EVERYTHING you can. 4) Have an amazing outlook on your work ethic. That is how I have earned this.

I work 40 hours a week on my home unit 0630 to 1500. Then at least 20 hours on the second unit usually split by 1900 to 2300 and one full shift 1900 to 0330. The great thing about here is that my commute time is 5 min walking. Believe me if you re...

I am going to be brutally honest. Sit down and take a breath. This is a difficult place for a new grad. You need to learn the critical thinking skills and wide base of experience you can get here. This is medicine from 10 years ago with very hig...

Yes, I have the experience and have been cross trained in 2 units. I have been working at this hospital since October 2011 as a full time employee. it is not like working in a larger hospital. Here you cultivate excellence across the board and wor...

Yes I am! working full time in the OR now. Part time in ER. Have worked peds clinic. What would you like to know?

Took your survey.

I currently work at Fort Defiance Hospital in Fort Defiance AZ. What would you like to know? Jen

Ok, so what agencies are above board. How are they above board? Can you recommend a logical -read understandable - place that I can go to get this information? Thanks Jen

Just know that what you are feeling is normal. Even after being in the ED for two years days can come along like this. keep your head up and IGNORE the stupid insensitive peeps who have a big red S tattooed on their chest. Their slow off the mark ...

NYS: Night shift 8:1 medium to high acuity in Level 2 trauma cntr. number of pt's in 12 hours shift 18 to 24 usually. 1) not good 2) barely adequate with is poor on my personal satisfaction scale.

26 years experience here as an RN. Education, education, education is the key. I started as a diploma nurse worked my butt off in a rural hospital while going towards my BSN. How I did it? one class at at time, one semester at a time. It sucked....

EmergencyNrse I am going to assume you are still in the ER only as a traveler now. I am an emergency nurse working to get an assignment and begin my travels. i look forward to not being the experienced nurse that the docs come to ALL the dang time....

If you can drive to the emergency room from your regular MD's office you are waiting. If it is that urgent you would have been sent in an ambulance -- Unless your PMD is a tard.

How about "I am allergic to everything except Dilaudid." Yeah not gonna happen. lol

I just took the TNCC course and passed it. We had to learn and test 3 stations on day one. Then the mega trauma test on day 2 was just with one station. Yes we had to learn to remove a helmet but were not formally tested on it. READ the book. Yo...

I have worked the night shift for over 16 years now. I sleep best if I come home from work and go straight to bed. I let the light stream in. I need background noise such as an air conditioner or the wind in the trees. Barking dogs waken me immed...

How do you all renew or get certifications while traveling? I mean your BLS, ACLS, TNCC, and ENPC? Any info would be helpful. Thanks Jen

Argo That is a great idea! Thank you. Jen

LOL -- Was right there with you! Quit whining girls you have spell checker, delete buttons and auto save! Jen

That my feet would HURT! Get some DR Scholls! That people really can be mean --- do not take anything personally -- it will kill your soul. How whiney people can be -- remember it is their journey in life, NOT YOURS! How making a child breathe eas...

Congratulations on your new license. I can't speak for Texas but I just wanted to welcome you to the profession
