We may be relocating with the military to the Newport RI area and I am curious as to how the jobs are. It looks like google is throwing a few hospitals at me: Newport Hospital, South County Hospital, Saint Anne's Hospital, and Charlton Memorial Hosp...

I am an RN with 2 years experience looking for pay rates at Prince William Hospital in Manassas VA and also at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton VA. Would love to know the base pay and what the differentials are. Do these hospitals have RN Unions? I lo...

Thanks for the response.....What is INOVA? Does the pay typically increase by $1 per year of experience ? That is the way it is where I am currently at. Say 25 for new grad, 26 with 1 yr, 27 with 2 yr.....it does that until I think 10 years then i...

You can do it with the core....However....it is a ranking system and they only take 32 people each year...once per year. If you dont make it you have to reapply next year. You get so many points (was 13 when I went a few years ago) for having all of ...

I am on a surgical floor and generally work the 3-1130 shift....during that time we typically carry 5-6 pts to 1 RN. We have a CCA, usually, but that varies and not every one of them "enjoy" their work-thus you get different levels of care from them...

Lindarn, Yeah I actually work at Holy Family. It was a few wks ago when they did the freeze. A coworker's brother works at Kootenai and said Monday night at work that they are doing the same now.

Lindarn, I saw your post about the Spokane area hiring that you posted the first wk of April.....I am not sure if you are in Spokane or not, but both Sacred Heart and Holy Family which are both Providence Hospitals are in a hiring Freeze right now. ...

I am a new grad nurse with a WA state lic. I am interested in a position in ID, just across the border. Can I hold 2 lic? If I apply for a ID lic by endorsement, bc I have to have it in order to apply for this job, and I dont get the job....what do ...

Thanks... So with your 2 that you hold do you simply meet the criteria and continue to renew/pay for both lic?

Well I am a new grad, havent started working yet...but did pump through nursing school...and will be doing the same once I start working since I just had another baby in Oct. I used the locker room to pump. I was careful to sit in the corner and cov...

I could use some input. I just got a call back from a hospital across the border, so it is about 45-60 minute drive. They offer an RN residency program and one department included is OB. I talked to the director and he felt like I have a good shot be...

No I do not have a place yet. They take applications in April/May for start date of June. The director spoke with the nurse manager in L/D and was told she would have 1 spot open ,,,, maybe 2 but at least 1. There are other areas that participate ...

Idaho

Also...any other recommendations on classes to take to make my chances better at getting the spot? I have attended a High Risk OB Conference by PESI, taken Fetal Heart Monitoring online class by AWHONN, Sterile Intrapartum Sterile Speculum Examinatio...

I really could use some feedback on the following: I am a new grad RN and have applied at a few locations and this is what my options are....My first preference is OB which I did my senior practicum in but that isnt an option in WA as a new grad. I h...

Any feedback on Residency Programs? This one is 6 mths long...after that time I have to sign for 2 yrs with the hospital. My heart is telling me to go for it or I will always wonder if I could have made it. I really want OB and this is the only for...

That is what I think I should do too. I know they are super flexiable and so that may be my best option. Any others wanna chim in?

Okay, it gets harder now. I just got a call back from another hospital across the border, so it is about 45-60 minute drive. They offer an RN residency program and one department included is OB. I talked to the director and he felt like I have a go...

Hum....I had an interview at an Assisted Living Facility that has 2 50-bed units for long term residents and also a 20-bed SubAcute floor....I was asked the basic questions like: An example of when you needed to change your care for someone during th...

Okay so I was offered prn work through a staffing agency that works with a local nursing home. They are aware I am a new grad with no experience other than my clinicals in school. They said they mostly do elder care, passing meds, delegation, and...

Thanks for all the input. I know everyone is just trying to be honest and helpful, and I do appreciate it. I have decided to not go for it. I was hesitant myself from the beginning and they are not prepared to assure me that someone will be there...

As far as exams go....ask if the facility has any teaching material. The hospital I did my senior practicum had a "vagina in a box" according to them. Basically you stick you hand in and ck dilation. They also had individual squishy cervix at diff...

I also loved my Labor and Delivery rotation and was blessed enough to get to do my senior practicum there as well. Anyway...here is a way that helped me w/ decels VEAL CHOP V: Variable C: Cord Compression E: Early H: He...

I have these titles in my resume...would you recommend I change the order of them in any way? my name with address objective employment history licenses education certifications organizations/community references ***I am just not sure if it should be...

Labor and Delivery is my passion for sure. That was based on a not so great experience for my 1st delivery and a FABULOUS experience the 2nd tme around. I did enjoy other areas while in school. But OB is def my #1...Peds would be my #2
