I am in NY. I do not recall Iif student loans are specifically mentioned on the app but there is a question about moral turpitude. Defaulting on student loans might fall under that category.

I wonder how many of you understand tthere are nowhere near enough jobs for all you new grads..Most ffacilities hire a maximum of 3 new grads per year. You say you have 100 sseat Iin your class. What will happen to the other 97. In the hospital wher...

With all due respect you are all crazy. 1000 applicants for a nursing program? They take 150. Once you graduate where will you find work? This is sheer madness. I graduated 4 years ago from a private Catholic college that is well thought of and a 3.5...

He ought to have been charged with manslaughter for the death of the baby. This patient will be just as dangerous when he gets out of prison and will likely injure someone else. Once on meth, 90% of people can never get away from it, just like crack....

Early trestment?! The only treatment patients are getting is fluid resuscitation, blood transfusions to replace massive blood loss engendered by the virus and electrolyte replacement. Supportive care only. Just buying time hoping that the immune syst...

There has already been an airborne strain which was Ebola Reston brought into the US unknowingly inside lab monkeys who were brought to a lab in Reston Virginia about 20 years ago. Fortunately it was not fatal to human caretakers ( who did sicken but...

Since nursing is a science and you will be expected to know about and understand disciplines like Micro and Chemistry, I would advise you take both and not take the easier Micro. Your school may require you take the one for science majors. At a bare ...

If a patient has to go to the hospital, then he has to go. Obviously there was a difference of opinion between the 2 physicians - one saying send him out and the other the following day objecting to it based on readmission status. I think it would ha...

Very true. Nurses back then had a lot more bedside experience as a result of how nursing programs were structured back then Most hospitals had their own schools of nursing. But then it became too expensive and hospitals shut down their schools of nur...

I live near Poughkeepsie New York which is within commuting distance of New York City and North Jersey and Connecticut. I have not been able to find anything in 4 years with a bachelor's and a 3.5. Many of my colleagues got work but they were either ...

In 2012, my now deceased husband engineered an interview for me at what turned out to be an ALF. He was beside himself when I was unable to even get an interview after I graduated in 2010. He was at the Liver Transplant Center of Westchester Medical ...

Are you kidding? If the facilities won't do the morally right thing for both patients and workers then they MUST be mandated. All of this rolling the dice with patient care must stop. Of course there are always ways to work around mandated staffing l...

At the hospital where I work (not as an RN, was never able to get an interview in the saturated northeast where I live) they have postings that sit around for YEARS that are never filled. They are quicker to hire IT people than nurses. I asked my su...

A week is nothing. I graduated 4 years ago with a BSN, 3.5 GPA, department and peer nominated awards and none of it did me a bit of good. Comically, in 2012 I was hired part time by a hospital where I had applied twice as a new grad and never receive...

Do you have actual nursing experience? Any college that hires you to be a clinical instructor will want you to have a minimum of several years basic nursing experience. Further, if you are teaching a specialty, like peds, you will need specialized ex...

Realize that this is the real reason no one wants new grads. Given staffing models, if they can be called that, you have to have the experience to even attempt to do what they want you to do. If you are inexperienced, you will be in a deep hole right...

Thanks

I agree with this post and want to add that these are the destructive behaviors on the part of patients, who are longstanding addicts and (dare I say it) gluttons on so many levels. Used to instant gratification their entire lives (bad foods, excesse...

When I tutored pre- nursing students several years back, the community college where I taught had a pre-A&P course which students had to take if they had low science scores. I assume this is what you mean. If you have had little to no exposure to...

They all expect too much. They have all been doing it for so long that it is like breathing to them and they cannot comprehend why others have difficulty with the overwhelming amount of knowledge and paperwork The entire medical system is running fa...

I was let go after 3 months from a LTCsituation. I have a BSN but could find no other work I live in NY and no hospitals, home care agencies respond to resumes. I have applied within 100 mile radius. When I was let go I was told it was because I had ...

There is also the issue of skin breakdown from lying in your own sweat for weeks on end, not to mention other body excretions. I would personally do body audits to be sure no resident has suffered any adverse effects.

If you think that's bad, I graduated with a BSN and 3.5 GPA in 2010 and am now back to a dead end job in med transcription which I have years of experience in. Comically, the hospital that hired me for this was one of the hospitals I applied to as a ...

Sorry about typos. On mobile device that has a mind of its own.

I too was looking for IV verify class. Adelphi has them but they are only one day and the cost is $225. When I asked if they gave out IV certification certificates at the end they said no, just proof that you attended a class All these types of cour...
