What states are you all from that allow mandating??

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time finding employment. They hired a bunch of new GN's at my hospital. I know Yale just had an open house looking for both new and experienced nurses. Best of luck to you in your search!

Ha ha Ok, and shall I stand there with drinks and appetizers for you? Seriously....we have full assignments, often times 6 pts....I absolutely do not have the time to stand there waiting for my post op when I could be passing meds, assessing, doing...

I think it varies from state to state. In CT, LPN's are not permitted to take TO/VO. As for medications, they are also not allowed to push anything IV, or hang antihypertensives.

Just wanted to wish you luck. I have a BSN myself, so dont have any personal experience with the community colleges. However, I have worked with many nurses from Naugatuck, and they were all great nurses.

I would reccommend going to the individual hospital websites, if you are doing it online, and search the job opportunties that way. What area of CT are you interested in?

i'll give it a go ....

The hospital that I work at is not immunizing any of the nurses, and I am quite surprised by this. I understand that severity of the shortage, but arent healthcare workers in the high risk category? I can see it now, once the influenza pts start get...

Bush Baby!!

I think you mean Groton :) I dont live in that area, but have visited many times. It is on the shore, and simply beautiful. As is the case with ALL of CT, it is pricey. Good luck on the relocation :)

Nice to see some posts on the CT board! Hi and welcome to all!

:angryfire Lovely, just lovely.

{{{{{Deb}}}}} I am so sorry that you are going thru this. Take care of yourself. Hugs!!

Nursie30 ~ I am so sorry this happened to you. {{{hugs}}}

Raising hand ~ I was a CNA during college.

Ok, you win....this one did me in!

No. Boy, that was short and to the point! :)

Great job!!

I had this done twice, though I was 'lucky' enough where it didnt take ...so I ended up have a small procedure where the doc actually removed part of the root. Problem solved ~ I've not been plagued by ingrown toenails since!!

:chuckle :rotfl: Loved it!

An early welcome to Connecticut!! I do not know the answers regarding scholarships/funding for CRNA school, nor do I know if you must first obtain your BSN...hopefully someone else can help there. As for Cardiac ICU's, you would probably want to be ...

Reach for the stars!! As an MD or NP, I am sure you will continue to be a superb pt advocate ... as well as a nursing advocate! Best of luck to you in whatever your decision is. :)

I've diagnosed myself with sciatica...a burning pain that extends from my buttock, down the side of my thigh, over the knee and down into the foot. In addition to the burning, 3 toes went "tingly" once. I have made an appt w/ my ortho, but sadly c...

We have locking lockers, however, they are not as secure as one might hope. In the past there has been a problem where our lockers were broken into and $, credit cards and such were stolen.
