I have interviews next week with Bayada Nurses and PSA Healthcare and would like any and all feedback anyone has on either of these companies. What is the interview like? Is the company flexible? How is the pay rate? Basically, would you recommend wo...

When I posted my reply, it messed up my spacing. I had everything spaced out so it looked like a math problem. It should be 2mg/1mL on one side and 7.74mg/xmL on the other side. Then, you do the math and it is 2/2x on one side and 7.74/2 on the othe...

I would say it is 3.87 mL/hr. You need to divide the 7.74 mg/hr by 2 because there are 2 milligrams in each milliliter. 2mg 7.74 mg ______ = _______ 1mL x mL 2x 7.74 ___ _____ 2 2 x = 3.87 mL...

I totally agree with roser13. There is no way to know how many mL per hour unless you know the concentration. Also, maybe I am just rusty too (very possible), but are you sure it's 4 mg/hr???

Hi JJuliana! It sounds to me like you have what it takes to be a great nurse!! As far as the death issue, there are some nursing jobs in which you don't have to deal with death nearly as much as others. That is something to take into consideration wh...

Hi magnum68. I know your message was sent to Suichi, but I just wanted to let you know that I interviewed, and accepted a position, with PSA Healthcare. I will be working for them full-time for the next month and then PRN after I start my new dream...
BabyNurseBecky replied to arcoiris's topic in NICU
I hope I am not too late in responding to your post . . . I actually just applied for a NICU job after being out of the NICU for about a year. In my cover letter, I really wanted to express that this was not just another job for me and that I really...

Where do you live? I know that all of the hospitals around here are different (Lancaster County, PA). There is one hospital that offers almost all rotating shifts; however, many of the hospitals do not have rotating shifts at all. For the most par...

Hi there! I just wanted to give you a brief response because your post caught my eye. With regard to working as a nursing assistant and/or a registered nurse, there are a few options. You can work in labor and delivery, where you would mainly work w...
BabyNurseBecky replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing
The same type of situation just happened to me! I have been wanting to leave my current job for some time, but I didn't want to settle on a new job and waited for my dream job to come along. Well, it did! I applied on a Monday morning, got a call M...

Thanks for continuing to check in. It is nice to know that other people are in the same boat . . . I am still waiting to hear back about my criminal background check. They did tell me it could take a while. I am still waiting to hear about my dream j...

My test didn't have any math questions. Honestly, the questions were, for the most part, common sense. There were matching and true and false. There were a few that threw me, but overall, they really weren't bad. I have been out of nursing for more ...

I only had the interview at PSA so far. My Bayada interview is being rescheduled because of an audit or something. The PSA interview went well and the manager I met with was very nice. I am just waiting to hear back that my criminal history check ...
