ECMOismygame

Asking for my SO, looking to relocate to Dallas next year. She has 15 yrs experience as a pediatric CICU nurse, charge, and is now a nurse manager at a top ranked children’s hospital. If she were to take a staff role what type of compensation could she expect? Thanks!

I'm sorry, but this sounds really depressing considering the cost of living in LA. I worked at a very well regarded children's hospital in North Texas and new RNs were GUARANTEED to make $30hr on day shift after two years of experience. This was back in 2008. I've worked beside nurses for the last 8 years and this is disgusting that area hospitals would pay such wages for such vital members of the healthcare team.

+1 The NICU, PICU, and pediatric CICU I previously worked in used this system. BSI rate dropped dramatically after implementation.

Haven't posted on the forum in a while, but this thread has been very interesting. (I've already been exposed to a H1N1 positive patient and just finished my course of tamiflu.) Next month I'm slated to partake in my hospitals ECMO traing program, so wish me luck.

correct sorry about not responding earlier

PA practice is COMPETENCY based, not degree based.

DNP is not a PhD, it is a clinical doctorate.

if the ICD/pacer isnt setting the rate wouldnt a QRS wider than .12 be called a BBB/bundle branch block? correct me if im wrong, its been a while now since ive looked at strips for a living

i'll admit i haven't looked much..... i did browse a website, but can the CNA exam being challenged in Texas? i'm looking at the AccBSN from Texas Tech, and they have a requirement to be CNA certified before enrolling.

Texas Tech Health Science Center also has one http://www.ttuhsc.edu/son/undergrad/secwbsn.aspx

I agree, the majority of NICU nurses are hot....

UTHSC Houston has one http://son.uth.tmc.edu/prospstudent/bsn/bacc2/default.aspx TCU also has one http://www.nursing.tcu.edu/accelerated.asp

couldn't you just bag the kiddo REALLY REALLY FAST with super TINY breaths? :chuckle

are there any DE ACNP programs out there? that may be another option.
