   25 an hour in Tucson AZ? As far as I know the going rate is 19 or 19.50 a hour (that is without differential)...just a question what hospital in Tucson is offering this hourly rate

3. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

   275Main replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

   I think that this is inappropriate and further more I wonder how much of a liability it would be for the school (if one person decided to act inappropriately). Liability is another reason why a lot of schools do not allow students to perform shots, ...

4. OT For the Last Four Hours of a 12 Hour Shift in Palm Springs?

   275Main replied to Sheri257's topic in California

   I am confused, if you belong to a union or work in a union shop then this overtime after 8 hours would not apply to you...at least this is how I interpret this. This is also something that I have not heard of and I have been searching for jobs in th...

   275Main replied to telenurse04's topic in Massachusetts

   I have been trying to find out on this forum, what the pay scale is like in the Boston area since I am considering moving back. I already know about salary.com and I have found that in most major cities the numbers are a little off. I worked for pa...

7. Online Masters programs

   275Main replied to Pronurse's topic in NP

   Stonybrook in New York offers a variety of different masters online and I believe that Duke offers an online FNP degree.

8. Accelerated Nursing BS

   275Main replied to jav's topic in New York

   The thing is that the bar has been raised on theses programs and the minimum requirements are really guidelines. I would suggest that you call and ask what prevented you from getting in or waitlisted this year. Convey your interest in the program, ...

9. Is the degree worth the loans?

   275Main replied to liz steinmetz's topic in NP

   I think that I responded to your previous post. I was in a similar situation. I was admitted to a direct entry MSN program, but was looking at 60,000 worth of debt. I decided that for this reason and others that I would do the accelerated BSN, wor...

10. Accelerated BSN Students: Please share your experiences!

    275Main replied to rar_bsn_rn's topic in General Students

    My best piece of advice would be to go to a program which is already established. Do not enter a program in its first couple of years, wait until the kinks are worked out. Some people in my program worked part time but most did not work. Do not ex...

11. Vanderbilt Program

    275Main replied to michellemybelle's topic in Tennessee

    Most likely if you have a Bachelors degree in another area you will be chosen over someone who only has met the credit requirements (much like it is in most dental and pharmD programs). When I applied to direct entry MSN programs I was under the imp...

13. Previous 4yr degree helpful?

    275Main replied to carlalogan's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to advance your education in nursing, most graduate schools require a BSN rather than a different 4 year degree (but there are programs out there for those who have an ADN and a BA or BS in an area other than nursing). Even though they a...

14. Santa Clara County Hospitals

    275Main replied to Purple_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the responses. I have been under the impression that most places in the bay area have a similar starting salary, between 31-33 for a new hire before diffs. Is this true? Or are theses rates only in san francisco or san jose? Does Oak...

    275Main replied to lentil's topic in General Nursing

    Starting out thousands in debt is the reality for an undergraduate student these days. There was an article in the village voice about that: http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0411/fkoerner.php The good thing is that she will be able to get a job a...
