I'm wondering what all is involved in doing that and roughly how long it takes?

I feel comfortable 90% of the time in the setting, but just don't know if it's my "calling." Most of my coworkers are trauma junkies and that just isn't me. They love coming to work, I really am indifferent to it. Would just a year be enough to get m...

I have thought about sticking it out for the CCRN cert, but I'm just not sure I want to stay where I am for another full year. I am also considered a part time employee (I've worked full time hours the majority of my time here though). So I'm not sur...

Not interested in being a CRNA at all. Ruled that out a long time ago, as I know several that aren't happy in it despite the great $$. I suppose it's the lack of any patient interaction.

New grad here... I'm wondering if working at a post-acute rehab hospital would count towards anything in terms of advancing to the ICU or ER? It is a 50 bed hospital specializing in post-stroke, brain injury, post-amputation/fracture, parkinson's, et...

It kind of seems to me like working at a rehab hospital you would use a lot more med/surg type skills (IVs, wound dressings, neuro assessments, etc.) than psych or especially a nursing home.

I am a new grad and just started working at a LTC facilty due to not being able to get a job anywhere at a hospital. Now I'm wondering if this is something that I should put on my applications as my current job or just not list it? Will that give th...

So I should put it down on my resume even though it won't be counting as experience and will potentially make me look like I'm just abandoning ship after a week?

Just wondering if most managers are in on holidays?

I'm wondering if the small differential for having a BSN vs an ADN is more common in the acute setting or is it the norm everywhere?

Are there any things in particular like contracts/agreements, or giving less insurance coverage that I should be on the look out for?

i am a recent grad rn bsn. i've applied to a couple of rn positions at the local hospital and have not heard anything back in almost 2 months. would it be wise to apply to something like a nursing assistant position? the job requires an assistant lic...

Without paying overtime?

What does ETA mean?

An hourly wage was given with no mention of overtime, just 60 hour weeks.

my dream job is at a neuro floor and i'm wondering if knowing a nurse on that floor could help in any way to land a job there? could they potentially talk to the floor manager who does the hiring and put in a good word for you or are hiring managers ...

All I've been doing is applying for jobs! But something tells me that's a bad answer

If you were to forget to renew for whatever reason would that mean you'd have to take the NCLEX all over again?

Oh I am being aggressive about it! In fact I'm afraid I am applying to too many openings at some of the hospitals and they maybe think that I am just job shopping or just super desperate....which I am.

I am a new grad RN trying to get a job at a local hospital. I would take a position on any floor honestly, but does it look bad for me to apply in two vastly different fields like med/surg and psych? Will the manager just think that I am job shoppin...

Point well taken! It's just so hard seeing as you never know which floors are desperate for someone and which floors are completely inundated with applications. Not to mention the fact that it takes about a month for your application status to change...

Have you looked at podunk towns in the inland empire?

Are y'all really suggesting to go to the actual floor in person with resume in hand and ask to speak to somebody? That just seems like a recipe for disaster/getting security called.

I am looking to move to Texas, but have heard from several people that you will not get an interview if you are not physically in the state. Am I supposed to move there and sign a 12 month lease and play the waiting game for a job that may or may not...

In general, would you say it is easier for a new RN to find work at a psych hospital or on a basic med/surg floor?
