Maybe you can keep the dialysis job as PRN or Part-time.

cprassociatesinc.com offers cpr classes for $40 and you are in and out with-in 3 hrs!

My last post i forgot to mention, I work in an acute adolescent unit and the pt. to staff ratio's doesnt matter. I can have 34 pt's with 3 1:1's and i still get 5 MHA'a and 2 RN's.

WHAT! 35 pt's, you get 14 MHA's, 2RN's and 1 LPN!!! Our unit, we have 34 pt's, 5 MHA's and only 2 RN's!!! I love your ratio's

Don't lose hope and i'm sure you will find a Nursing job real soon. BTW, there are crime everywhere not just Chicago???????????????

THis pay is not right new grad RN's in chicago is making at least 25 an hour at the bare minimum. Most or making 26-28 an hour with the latter being 30 in some suburbs where it is hard to keep nurses. Just got to keep looking. Even in the suburbs, n...

Hello, I took Math 125 because I knew you need this to get into any BSN program in the future. I took Math 140 a long time ago but it didn't count because it was 5 yrs old

WOW! I graduated in 2008 and I'm in total shock! The Professors we so nice. I am sad to see the program disappear. Why are they dismantling the program???

I heard California passed a bill that Nurses to patient ratio cannot be more than 6:1, Is this true? If this is true, I wish IL would do the same. At my facility, if we have less than 18 patients on our floor, I am the only nurse! Management do n...

Ok, let me understand this. If the renew license notification goes out May of 2010. Does anyone know how much time they will give us to get our 20 continuing education credits? Also, I obtained 20 ceu's in the year 2007-2008 when I was in Nursing s...

Hey SPower82, does your nursing home offer part-time for a semi-new grad

I went to Olive-Harvey from 2006-2008 and they were accredited. The lab is always open for the most part since we have 2 lab nurses on the spot. If the lab wasn't open, we could ask someone from the nursing office to open the doors for us Olive-H...

The only Hospital I have heard that still give sign on bonus is Loretta Hospital, but you need at least 2 years experience!

The CCC Nursing programs listed are from best to worst based on NCLEX passing rate: ADN 1) Truman 2) Daley 3) Olive-Harvey 4) Kennedy-King (Bridge Program) 5) Malcolm X LPN 1) Wright

WOW! The most I heard was 6 tries but 10 is the new record

There are 7 versions of the Hesi test. Each version has 3 sub-versions within. For example V-1a, V-1b, V-1c, V-2a, V-2b, V-2c, etc.........

The avg salary in a large market is around $25-27/hr. Asking for $55K is around $26.44/hr which it is on the high end. If you can manage to neg a salary of no less than $52K, it comes out to $25/hr which is on the low end BUT at least you have a jo...

Yeah, 40K is pretty low. It only average about $19.23/hr. Try to ask for $55K and if your future employer says no, you can always negotiate

You are correct that the average pay is $25-$27/hr with benefits BUT the economy sucks! You are lucky to have a job since alot of my classmates are still trying to get an interview since December. Just try to work where you are for at least 6 month...

Does anyone have the latest figure of how much of a percentage the males represent in the Nursing world?

I prefer the classroom course myself. I like someone who can teach me how to pass NCLEX than an online course which you couldn't really ask any questions or get any input from the course itself. Heck, it's only another 50 bucks more :)

Whoa! 7.4% Thanks Mike.

Just look in your local phone book and find a place that offer these certificates. YES, you have to pay for all of them. The person who looks at your resume will be impressed:yeah:

1) Don't give up 2) Get an extension of your student loans 3) Get a job working as a CNA for now 4) Job market will open up, it always has and will 5) When you get the call, don't be picky and take anything to get the experience

Yes I did but I also used Kaplan
