Anyone work/live in Springfield, IL. I am interested in Memorial Medical Center. I don't live in IL. I would be relocating for a job. Their website looks like they really focus on their nursing staff, but I am interested in first hand info if possibl...

I recently left the ER for the OR. The main reason I left was because the ER I worked in scheduled me for six 12-hour shifts in a row. I worked it for 9 months, and when I asked for my schedule to be broken up with a day off in the middle they said t...

I transferred to the OR from the ER. It was definitely not what I imagined, but I am adjusting and I think I will like it just fine. In my OR there are a lot of personalities to navigate, so it's been a challenge. We also have specialty teams, and th...

Depends on when the payroll week begins and ends. I work Thurs-Tues (12-hour shifts), but Thurs, Fri, Sat are in one 'week', and Sun, Mon, Tues are in the next, so I only work 36 hours per 'week', even though they are all in a row. Totally legal. If ...

Skills. My biggest weakness as a new grad was skills, and remembering what to do and when to do it. Nursing school prepares you for NCLEX, not floor nursing.

Baptist South in Montgomery hired me from ARIZONA with only an Associates. Several new grads were hired at the same time and went through orientation with me.

I was a police dispatcher and 911 operator for 9 years at a very busy communications center. I can handle stressful situations. I graduated nursing school in May, I've been on the floor 3 days and I feel exactly the same way you do. I was warned tha...

Anyone work there? I applied for a new grad position and am wondering what kind of pay scale they have and what anyone thinks of the hospital and the area...

You can do it. I took it during my last semester of nursing school once we completed the Cardiac section. You'll be fine.

I don't like the scare-tactics the Kaplan reps use when trying to get you to sign up for their course. I'm sticking with Saunders, and the Kaplan book our school made us buy, but I'm not paying for their guaranteed pass class.

I live in AZ. Unless you have a BSN, it's very difficult to even get your resume looked at in Phoenix. In the town where I went to nursing school the local hospital does not support hiring new grads. I have applied at every hospital I can think of in...

May I have the study guide, too? [email protected]

Congratulations on choosing nursing. I am graduating in a few weeks after making a career change as well. I finally feel like this is where I'm supposed to be, and I'm excited to get my career started! Put away the NCLEX review book, for now. You won...

I posted in the forums for each individual state but haven't received any replies. I have interviewed at Northwest Texas Healthcare System in Amarillo, TX and with Baptist South in Montgomery, Alabama. I realize there are huge differences in these lo...

My interview was a phone interview. If you Google nursing interview questions you'll get a good idea what the interview was like. The nurse recruiter was very nice, had a lot of information, and it seems like a nice place to work. I'm hoping to hear ...

Our pinning and graduation ceremony are combined. Our cap and gown are white, and when I tried mine on I realized that I need to wear something very light underneath as the gown material is pretty thin.

Unfortunately, neither of the places I'm looking at are HMA facilities. I was really hoping to hear from someone who actually works at either of these facilities, or has some insight at least into the area in general.

Where do you live? Most CPR instructors also teach ACLS class, or can refer you to someone who does. Sometimes your local hospital may offer a class to nursing students as well.

Anyone work there, or know someone who does? Any info regarding their new grad program - good or bad? How about Amarillo in general?

How about anything regarding Amarillo, TX in general?

Does anyone work there, know anyone who works there, or have any information they can share regarding the Amarillo, TX area? Thanks!

I thought it went well. Hoping to hear something this week. I Googled nursing interview questions so I could be prepared. They asked why I wanted to work there, what kind of clinical experience I had, and other leadership and management experience I ...

Is anyone on this post still employed at Trinity? I had a phone interview, and it seems like a good place to work. Can anyone offer any information?
