VU RN BSN

I am a Registered Nurse in Florida. I plan on moving from Florida to New Jersey this year. I registered tonight on the NJ BON website, so I could read the application procedure and requirements. I am just wondering how long this process takes? Does i...

Any american nurses working in a hospital in the USA that tells staff they can no longer say "Merry Christmas"? Are there hospitals here in our country that are forcing their staff to only say "happy holidays" and not allowing them to say "Merry Chri...

Hello I am a Florida Registered Nurse who is making plans to move to New Jersey at some point in 2013. Will I need to submit a copy of my birth certificate, in order to apply for a NJ RN license?

All bleeding stops.... eventually

This is the type of work I do now. I'm employed by an insurance company, and my job is in their Work Comp division. I enjoy it! This is the first job I have ever actually liked since graduating from nursing school over 7 years ago! I find a lot of it...

caroladybelle ~ thankyou!! :) i couldn't have said it better myself! everything you said there is soo very true.

I am so very sorry this happened to you. Our job is quite digusting at times, isn't it? I agree with Josiah. Pray about it. My faith in God is one of the things that keeps me going. I do not love bedside nursing. But prescription Zoloft, Adderall, ...

hello my fellow infps! i've been an rn with my bsn for 5 years. i want to leave bedside nursing and get out of clinical patient care. for the infp personality type, which do you think is a better option to consider: nursing informatics / healthcare i...

Mijourney, I've been asking and wondering all the same questions! I sure wish someone would respond to this thread and provide answers.

I don't seem to be cut out for hospital nursing. I've been an RN for 5 years now. Spent a year and a half doing cardiac nursing in a hospital. Burnt out. Tried PACU, and burnt out also. Tried hospice nursing, burnt out again. Now I'm back to working...

What is UHC? What does UHC stand for? Where in Tampa are these companies located?

Nowadays, I tell every nursing student or new graduate nurse I meet to start out in med-surg. If I could go back, I wish I had started out on a med-surg floor. Instead, dummy me agreed to start out in CCU as a new grad and did a critical care orienta...

I work night shift on a med-surg/tele/neuro floor. Our nurse to patient ratio is 6:1 and the day shift ratio is also 6:1. Our charge nurses really don't look too closely at acuity, they do the assignments more based on blocks of rooms, trying to kee...

anyone work in a palliative care unit? i am looking for a new job, and as i was searching through the job postings for available rn positions at one of our local hospitals, i noticed a job opportunity in a palliative care unit. this immediately caug...

Almost forgot, but on Wednesday May 27th, there will be an RN Career Fair @ Florida Hospital Zephyrhills.

University Community Hospital in Tampa (also known as UCH-Fletcher) is currently hiring RNs.

How exactly does a person qualify for WIA?? For example, would WIA pay for a Nurse Refresher course?

St. Petersburg College offers 30 hour IV Therapy courses for nurses.

Just curious, but why isn't there a forum for neuro nurses? I just clicked on "Nursing Specialties" under the Specialty tab and I don't see a forum for Neuro nurses! Yes, I am well aware that under Critical Care Nursing, there is a forum for Neuro IC...

lovegoddess, I posted almost the same question the other day! Didn't realise you had already asked! IMHO, there should be BOTH a Neuro forum for nurses and a Neuro ICU forum for critical care nurses! Afterall, cardiac nursing has a standard forum, in...

Anyone here a current employee or previous employee of Consulate Health Care? I am job hunting and trying to find a new job as an RN (I am not a new grad) and I have started looking into the local LTCs / SNFs (nursing homes) in my area. Opened up th...

How interesting to read this 2003 thread in 2009. Very eye opening and thought provoking. I had naively thought there was a nursing shortage these past several years, until autumn of 2008 when I kept reading about hiring freezes in hospitals in USA ...

Question: Has anyone tried applying to their county's health department?? I read somewhere recently that departments of health in Florida will consider new grads or nurses who haven't worked in a hospital for awhile. Anyone find this to be true? Ano...

New grads aren't the only ones strugging to find new jobs. I've been an RN in Florida for a few years and have worked in a few different settings. I am trying to get a new job in a hospital in FL and have been looking for months. I keep reading post...
