  1. Kalispell Regional Medical Center

    lumberjack replied to lillie5460's topic in General Nursing

    From what I've seen at KRMC folks are mostly fairly happy, in terms of labor and managment, though as someone else said, nurse pay in MT is on the low side, no more at kalispell than elsewhere. The...

  2. New Grad Jobs?

    lumberjack replied to jenn8500's topic in General Nursing

    nothing within 100 miles of missoula, that much I can say with

  3. shortest ABSN PROGRAM?

    lumberjack replied to mat81's topic in General Nursing

    University of Nebraska Medical Center is 11 months. They have 3 campuses: Lincoln, Omaha, and

  4. Nebraska Hospitals

    lumberjack replied to dmskoka's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, no problem. Scottsbluff is in the western part of the state, actually only half an hour from the wyoming border, about an hour north of colorado. This is not the stereotypical flat corn country...

  5. Accelerated vs. Traditional BSN - what should i do?

    lumberjack replied to ryantherunner's topic in General Nursing

    A few thoughts from someone nearly done with their accelerated BSN (11.5 months): Accelerated may not be any cheaper, as most schools charge based on credit hours rather than semesters, and since you...

  6. Nebraska Hospitals

    lumberjack replied to dmskoka's topic in General Nursing

    Regional West in Scottsbluff, NE hires new grads and is a pretty darn good hospital. Don't know much about CA except the situation varies incredibly by location all over the state. AZ is tough right...

  7. Nursing School Blues...

    lumberjack replied to prisicruz's topic in General Nursing

    One more thing to consider...will the hospital you are a CNA at pay for you to become an LPN? Would ease some of the financial pressure... Maybe a hospital further afield than where you live? But...

  8. Please help! New ER intern...

    lumberjack replied to inteRN's topic in Emergency

    You mentioned that when you opened up with your preceptor that she would slow down and explain things... maybe letting her know what you told us will help. She may not get all soft and fluffy with...

  9. My Husband the nurse!

    lumberjack replied to henryswife's topic in General Nursing

    Since you have to have the pre-reqs done before applying to community college (2-2.5 years) or university accelerated BSN (11-18 months), I gotta recomend the BSN accelerated. More likely to be with...

  10. Here's one I'll bet you don't hear every day

    lumberjack replied to chirodoc's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'd say you'll have a leg up in terms of anatomy/phys background and pt interaction. Adopting the nursing process will be differant, but totaly do-able. The only concern I'd have, echoing a previous...

  11. are nurse-nurse marriages common in your country?

    lumberjack replied to namzy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Of course, one thing that may help me is that I don't see myself as taking orders from a physician, rather, I tell the physician what orders I need. Just a more collaborative, less hierachical way of...

  12. are nurse-nurse marriages common in your country?

    lumberjack replied to namzy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My fiance and I are both nurses... makes it easier to talk to someone and decompress after a rough day, and they understand the wierd schedules,

  13. ATI exams tied to course progression???

    lumberjack replied to D1914's topic in General Students

    In our program they have just started tieing progression to ATI...for the first two terms they were just for practice, now a level 2 is required for progression in some classes...but not all classes....

  14. What's the farthest you've gone for clinicals?

    lumberjack replied to greeniebean's topic in General Students

    Had friends in nursing school in Flagstaff, AZ (NAU) that had to go over a hundred miles, sometimes 200 or more for clinicals all across the state. Sucked big time, made me glad I'm at UNMC and a 5...

  15. Accelerated RN Program

    lumberjack replied to lslkim's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with nanagose, I'm at UNMC in their BSN accelerated, it is intense, but doable with solid time managment skills. Personally would rather do this than the traditional track, I reckon I'm getting...

  16. In NEED.

    lumberjack replied to JMMagana18's topic in General Students

    Yes, you got it right, if they book 40 people, they take 40 people, and while sometimes they send some home early if they are done with that particular scene, if you show up, you get

  17. In NEED.

    lumberjack replied to JMMagana18's topic in General Students

    forgot to mention, some of the gigs are short, only a few hours (but you still get paid for 8!) and some run really long (15.5 hours my longest, virtually never more than that cuz then they have to...

  18. In NEED.

    lumberjack replied to JMMagana18's topic in General Students

    Not sure about the first part of your question, if you mean when do you go to Central Casting to get started, check the website, you want to go on the Non-union days, and get there early, looking like...

  19. In NEED.

    lumberjack replied to JMMagana18's topic in General Students

    I never had a call in service, and was fine, but that meant that I had to spend A LOT of time trying to call in and book work for myself. Lots of busy signals. I was told by others that having a...

  20. A question please?..

    lumberjack replied to adorblepuppy's topic in General Students

    Well, from my limited experiance (anyone else want to answer this one is welomed), I'd say that resident needs to get checked out, see if there have been medication doses missed, if illness or stress...

  21. Student Uniform - My Gosh!

    lumberjack replied to Meg_student's topic in General Students

    Yeesh, do they even make that in my size? I'm a dude with a size 34 waist and 6 feet tall, 200lbs :) I didn't think any place in the country still did skirts. I'm so very sorry they are doing this...

  22. In NEED.

    lumberjack replied to JMMagana18's topic in General Students

    No audition to speak of, you fill out a form that lists your talents, ex dancing, musical instrument, etc. They take a picture of you, and that is it. But they only take new talent 2 or 3 days a...

  23. In NEED.

    lumberjack replied to JMMagana18's topic in General Students

    Be an extra on tv shows. I did it for awhile when I was in LA, look up Central Casting online. You get registered with them and then call the work line looking for a gig, show up do the background...

  24. Accelerated BSN Student Support

    lumberjack replied to Dr. Shelia, RN's topic in General Students

    I'd echo the importance of time managment. My program is 11 months, and is pretty full-on all the time, but is managable enough because I just decided ahead of time that for these 11 months, my job...

  25. Pre-Rec Questions

    lumberjack replied to JMMagana18's topic in General Students

    At my school, chem is part of the required for admit and is included in the GPA but not considered as heavily as bio/A&P. In general the core pre-reqs count more than the others, but the others...
