  1. Magnet hospital

    anc33 replied to mugwump's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a Magnet hospital previously and it was a wonderful experience. Nurses were well respected, given autonomy, provided educational opportunities, etc. Now I work at a different Magnet...

    anc33 posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    Hi, I finally got an interview with my local health department for a clinic RN position. Just wanted any words of advice about what to expect during the interview, topics I need to brush up on etc....

  4. Got the job....

    anc33 replied to anc33's topic in Public, Community Health

    I think it is "cold feet". That and the fact that I got the call at 0900 after I had just fallen asleep (worked last night). I was so hazy and didn't know what to think, still am. I am working with...

  6. Got the job....

    anc33 replied to anc33's topic in Public, Community Health

    Hi All, The recruiter from the health dept finally called me today and told me I got the job. Then I immediately got nervous. I would be a paycut, ~7000 to be exact, but no weekends and of course it...

  7. Interview on Mon

    anc33 replied to anc33's topic in Public, Community Health

    Had the interview today, not so sure how well I did. It was with two supervisors. They asked me scenario questions and scribbled down all of my answers. Some of it I had no idea about but gave it...

  8. ADN vs BSN My daughter and I having a heated Discussion!

    anc33 replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in General Students

    After going over your OP again I have some additional questions/comments. It sounds to me like you might be more excited about the prospect of becoming a nurse than your daughter is. Don't push her...

  9. ADN vs BSN My daughter and I having a heated Discussion!

    anc33 replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in General Students

    Have you checked out financial aid at the 4-year institution? There's always work-study options as well and loans for the rest. I had to talk out huge loans for my nursing education and I don't...

    anc33 replied to anc33's topic in Public, Community Health

    Thanks for the encouragement! Jayla, Congrats on your interview. I am sure that if they are putting you through the physical you've got it in the bag. So bold to quit before securing something....

  11. Mosby's CAT... how accurate is it?

    anc33 replied to BJohnsonNU80's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Brian, I too had similar scores on practice tests and on the CAT...passed the NCLEX with 75 questions. I thought that the NCLEX questions were much easier than the study material. There isn't...

  12. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    anc33 replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Direct entry programs are not that difficult to get into. Much easier than trying to get into, say, Columbia as a freshman. Reason being, life experience and diversity are greatly valued in these...

    anc33 replied to recruitergroupie's topic in Infectious Disease

    You need to get tested ASAP and begin treatment if necessary. Post exposure prophylaxis is not effective if begun more than 36 hours after the incident. They usually do not do PEP for Hepatitis...

  14. Magnet Hospital? Do you know?

    anc33 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I would have to echo the last poster's comments. I work at a magnet hospital and am looking, desperately, for another job. I was a stupid new grad and figured that the designation meant that it...

  15. Anyone have any alligator stories?

    anc33 replied to NICU_RNwantsFL's topic in Florida Nursing

    Is your property right off of a swamp or lake? I would be wary of the "swampier" places around Micanopy. FWS does remove a lot of gators from the UF campus and relocate them south of town. However,...

  18. Johns Hopkins MPH program? Or other MPH programs with Child Health Concentrations?

    anc33 replied to t2000JC's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure about the 11 month program but I do know that Bloomberg SPH is tops in the nation and very competitve. They have alot of specialities, including mental health, intnl health, epidemiology,...

  19. Any hospitals out there using discharge lobbies/lounges?

    anc33 replied to pjdouble's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We have a "discharge transition unit" staffed by a nurse and a tech. They can give meds, do discharge teaching, etc. It's a great

  20. anyone knows anything about the GREs?

    anc33 replied to t2000JC's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about UCSF but I have friends who gained entry into all four of the schools you mentioned with similar scores. One of my best friends is in the MSN/MPH program at Hopkins with V&Q...

  21. Realistic starting pay for RN's in N FL?

    anc33 replied to Karen06's topic in Florida Nursing

    $17-18 is a safe bet for N. Central

  22. anyone knows anything about the GREs?

    anc33 replied to t2000JC's topic in General Nursing

    Those scores should be good enough for any nursing school. I will tell you that the Hopkins MPH program is very difficult to gain direct entry into but is easy if piggybacked onto the

  23. Student Loan Debt

    anc33 replied to Sweetpea00's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think an extra 20K will hurt so bad in the long run. After all student loan debt does not affect your credit score negatively and the interest is tax deductable. Plus you will get a two...
