  1. CRA vs. CRC

    anc33 replied to carol72's topic in Research

    Yes, it can definitely be confusing, especially since many of these job titles were not defined until the early

  2. doing "research"

    anc33 replied to mgra's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There is virtually no difference in

  3. CRA vs. CRC

    anc33 replied to carol72's topic in Research

    What you have described is a CRC position. A CRA position is an auditing position. CRAs work on behalf of the sponsor making sure that the study was performed according to protocol. The ACRP is one...

  4. Replacing Research RN's with non license coordinators

    anc33 replied to GirloftheSun's topic in Research

    Honestly, I do not know who the role of research coordinator was intended for, nurse or otherwise. I do know many MAs, BSs, etc who are excellent research coordinators. I have heard from many...

  5. Student Loan Assistance!! PLEASE!!!

    anc33 replied to level1_traumaRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, only people with at least one federal loan are eligible like a direct loan or federal PLUS loan. You would need to look to another private company like Citi,

  6. Student Loan Assistance!! PLEASE!!!

    anc33 replied to level1_traumaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Deferring your loan really won't help much as the interest will keep accruing so the payoff will be even more daunting. Since you are in school can you apply for federal (subsidized or unsubsidized)...

  7. Newly hired LPN is making more money!!!!

    anc33 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    Benefits end up costing the employer quite a bit. For example, my employer has paid almost 12K so far this year for my benefits. So, in reality $2/hr more is not that much in light of how much...

  8. PHS pay rates in Alabama

    anc33 replied to AlabamaRN(ER)'s topic in Correctional

    Duh, OK, I should have deduced that you worked county. Wasn't thinking. I was conparing it to state facilities which start RNs at about $23 with bennies and $29

  9. PHS pay rates in Alabama

    anc33 replied to AlabamaRN(ER)'s topic in Correctional

    Are you working at Lowell or the men's prison? That wage is low, especially considering your experience and the fact that they start off new grads at almost 20 just one county

  10. Giving meds late o.k.?

    anc33 replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Nursing

    The bigger issue here is not that QD meds were given an hour outside of the window but that your instructor is having you chart that you gave them at 0800 IMO. Always write the exact time you gave...

  11. Is Nursing for me if I don't want to be a bedside RN?

    anc33 replied to sail81's topic in Nursing Career

    I would say that it is nearly impossible to get into management without 5+ years of solid bedside experience. It would be much easier to get into research (phase I drug research especially) without...

  12. PICC lines in the U.S.A. and the World

    anc33 replied to AZMSNnurse's topic in General Nursing

    PICCs were very common at the hospital when I worked on the floor. We had a team of 4 PICC RNs who placed the lines at the bedside. The patients would then get a portable CXR and the line would be...

  13. Newly hired LPN is making more money!!!!

    anc33 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, this is way too common. I work for the state and our salaries are public record. I try not to look because every time I do I am overcome with frustration. Then I look again and...

  14. Nursing theory-Do you use it at work?

    anc33 replied to grdstdnt's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I felt like I had to comment on this thread because I see so many people reacting so harshly to something that is seemingly so misunderstood. I use nursing theory everyday in practice, consciously...

  15. looking for online MSN/FNP program

    anc33 replied to nakida20's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Florida State also has an all online FNP

  16. I'm pregnant. Can i get a job?

    anc33 replied to sherry-New RN's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats! As other posters have said they cannot discriminate based on your being pregnant. They cannot ask you questions regarding family and, if they do, you are under no obligations to answer...

  17. What are the most laid back nursing jobs?

    anc33 replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the nurse educator positions I have seen (at the VA or our local teaching hospital) have required at least a

  18. JHU loan need answer

    anc33 replied to mdmomrn's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hopkins is very generous with scholarships. Still, even after 30K in free money I left with 35K in student loans (one loan was used to pay for an apt, etc). Well worth it in my opinion. I had some...

  19. What are the most laid back nursing jobs?

    anc33 replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    In FL correctional RNs do qualify for early retirement if they work 20 years in the system. I know here our inmates get basic care but some treatable diseases are not dealt with properly. Hep C is...

  20. gpa to get into nursing school?

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

    I think that you will find that many of the top tier schools look for more well rounded students that have clearly articulated goals unlike many CCs which have scoring criteria. I think they realize...

  21. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    anc33 replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    When I graduated from nursing school in MD I knew I was going back to FL to live and work. When it came time for us to secure work we all compared offers and I was laughed at heartily by my...

  22. Needle Fears are going to waste the $30,000+ I spent on TUITION

    anc33 replied to NursingChick21's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of nursing student and new RNs share in your fears. I find that sometimes the problem is complicated by the fact that, in some hospital settings, we do not routinely perform these...

  23. Cardiac Meds!!!

    anc33 replied to NARCAN's topic in Florida Nursing

    this isn't entirely true, at least in the hospitals that i have worked in. many hospitals do not use lpns to take a group of patients (as they cannot perform all required patient care) but they use...

  24. ACRP CRC exam

    anc33 replied to anc33's topic in Research

    All I had heard were nightmare stories about the exam. I have one coworker who has taken it multiple times and failed all attempts. I don't know. Maybe I prepared better, maybe I am a better test...

  25. Newly hired and pregnant

    anc33 replied to kookie31's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry. You had no obligation to tell them during the interview. In fact, if you were ready to pop and they asked you about it they would be in violation of the EEOC rules. I would let them...
