Per Huffington Post: video of Nina Pham just before her transfer to Maryland. She looks ok. Hospital Releases Video Of Ebola Patient Nina Pham.

If you're still interested in the healthcare field, I'd look at Speech therapy, audiology, PT, OT, PTA, OTA.

There's an indie documentary making rounds called the "Waiting Room." It chronicles the daily occurrences in the ED in a public hospital in Oakland, CA. Worth a watch. You can go to their website and watch clips. There is also a facebook page. Wort...

Hi Nate: 1. IMO, psychiatric nursing with a BSN is mostly about millieu, passing meds, therapeutic communication, the occasional takedown, suicide/razor precautions, etc. You are also responsible for nursing care such as IV therapy (you see it in...

I'd get a job in a facility that involves direct patient care. That way, you can see what the work is like before you make a decision.

Well, the experts predict this impending "job shortage" by 2020, so you'll have to wait almost a decade. Regardless of Obamacare, the healthcare industry is contracting and trying to save money any way it can, including cutting nursing and UAP staff...

What interests you the most: taking care of a person's physiological or their emotional/psychological/social needs? Nurses focus on the former; SWs/counselors on the latter. Your general psychiatric nurse is not trained in psychotherapy. (S)he is...

There is a backlog of new grad BSNs from UHM and HPU dating from 2009 at least. Most of the ward clerks, aides, and techs are new grad BSNs. Most hires for new grads are internal. Hope that helps.

This management style doesn't work.

Looking at the number of banner ads for nursing programs on this site, you'd never guess there *wasn't* a nursing shortage lol. But seriously, even people in healthcare thought healthcare was "rescession-proof" until when...?

Telemedicine will probably require nurses with experience and those nurses will probably have a high caseload. These jobs will probably be outsourced outright or nearsourced to states with comparatively low wages and no unions.

Just an example of how out of touch some academics are. Don't listen to their advice.

Where I live, I noticed that the new grad RNs being hired are internal hires.

The best approach is to make it a felony to assault a health care worker.

I forgot to add: you might want to look at rehabilitation-oriented jobs like PT/OT/speech or audiology. If you're looking at a 2-year vocational program, then PTA/OTA /EMT.

Broadly put, there are no significant number of jobs available. What few jobs are actually available are fought over by both new graduates as well as experienced nurses. Hiring freezes are not uncommon. Meanwhile, administrators are free to do whate...

Actually there is no guarantee that you'll get a job even with ICU experience in Honolulu. Since HMC closed (2 hospitals), there are former HMC ICU nurses still looking for a permanent placement and are working agency in the interim.

Lack of jobs.

Stick with being an attorney. You can spend the 5+ years it will take to get your foot in the door as a CRNA to grow your legal practice, and be that much ahead.If you want to go into medicine, though, you may as well go to med school and become an a...

First of all: do employers in your area hire ADNs? If they only hire BSNs then the ADN isn't worth it. Do hospitals in your area have new grad programs open to ADNs? Check out the recruitment pages online. Generally, it's better to get he BSN.

UHM. The ADN is not a marketable degree in Hawaii because the hospitals are moving toward the BSN as the entry/desired degree. So you're better off going to UH or HPU.

I'd just stay in AZ if you want to work.

I wouldn't spend $20K on an LVN. That's crazy.

If your family's finances are as bad as you say it is, and if you want to avoid debt, then why do you want to have more kids? That doesn't make any sense.

I think your first job (in ICU no less) is education enough for your first six months at least. I'd just focus on learning your job before you start taking more classes.
