Hospital based? EMS based? Private or government?

Why defer to EMTs? Why is the discussion so resistant to Narcan? It's not going to hurt the patient, and it may save a life. It's safer to give than insulin.

Narcan is used also to RULE OUT opiate overdose - give narcan to see for a response, if so, probably opiate OD. The only side effect is immediate withdrawal. Don't defer to the police department! They are law enforcement officers, we are healthcare p...

Good job on passing the CCRN!

Congrats, kimmini, way to go! Thanks for sharing too!

Good onya! Look forward to following your journey.

Avenger - awesome work! Inspiring accomplishments. (I also wish I had a job where I could get some school work done )

Did you find an answer? Curious what it is too.

Prisons pay very well, but as a former CA state worker of 20 years, I'm not sure about the bonuses.

When it rains, it pours After graduating nursing school in May and passing my NCLEX, I've had the hardest time finding an ED position. This week, I've received two offers. Both are good and I'd like to make an informed decision. One is with a rur...

As best as I can remember, there was an essay but not a lot of them. The quizzes were not hard. I'm not a very disciplined online student, so if I made it through, it must not be too hard. Good luck! As a follow up to the original topic of the thr...

Incredible account, thanks for sharing!!! xoxo

This is very interesting - thanks for sharing.

Frankly, you are in a tough position. The market is tight where you are at. My good friend lives in Santa Cruz and is well established there. His wife had to take a job at a skilled care facility. One of my coworkers here in NM had to do the same in ...

I pulled it off a year ago, and there were other new grads hired with me. The ED manager has since told me, "It's not like there are Certified Emergency Nurses walking in looking for work," and he has to hire new grads. My advice is emphasize that ...

The job market here, it seems, is like all other places. Be persistent, and make personal contact with the manager before or when you submit your application. I was hired one year ago as a new grad, in critical care, in Albuquerque. And, I wasn't ...

Sure, I've got some questions, just to get things started. How long have you been a recruiter for? How many contracts have you facilitated? And... let's get right down to what is probably going to be a popular question ... How much room is there...

"mursinary"... great name!

How to Calculate Travel Nursing Net Pay » BluePipes Blog This blog post explains how to interpret the $numbers of a travel offer.

Perhaps you could work two travel contracts per year here in the US, then return to Central America the other six months of the year. Three months working, three months in CR, etc. You need probably two years solid experience to be dependably emplo...

It's close to some great national parks: Sequoia-Kings Canyon, and Yosemite. I say be sure to go to them!

Didn't understand that. Can you REPEAT YOURSELF AGAIN.

Murse, what are you arguing about? Your quote of traumasurfer is about NR certification, not state licensing. He says that many states will review the training/education of an RN, and then send authorization to test to National Registry.

Interesting about Florida. I did some research. Florida allows you to sit for the National Registry exam, and then gives you a FL license. So you do end up with a NR cert. As I live in the Southwest, I looked at the states in my region to see if ...
