hello everyone, this is a bit off the subject. i am an rn in nyc and i'm interested in starting a nurse staffing agency. if anyone has any level of expertise in this area and have any recommendations, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. ...

Have you checked with your school to make sure that they have submitted all the necessary paperwork? This could be the reason for the delay.

That's funny

I Currently work in the MICU at Columbia Presbyterian. I started on a Med-Surg/ stepdown floor there. I was an LPN prior to becoming an RN so my initial preceptorship on the MS floor was more about learning the policies and how things were done on th...

Are you a Cochran grad? I graduated from Cochran in 2004.

I haven't personally been there but I have heard from friends who are also Nurses that it's a nice hospital. Good Luck!!

NYP has an ER internship

Hello, I lived in Westchester for 14 yrs. Recently moved to Rockland County

I am a graduate of Cochran. They have an excellent program and it doesn't amount to $20,000.00. The accelerated program is called "Fast Track". It 's for students who have a high GPA and/ or LPN's going into the program. The school is hospital based ...

HI Everyone, I live in Rockland county ,NY. Moved here about a year ago. Lived in Westchester prior to that. Working in NYC. Just wanted to say hello.

where is the hospit al located?

it completely depends on the type of unit that you will be working on. if it's an acute unit, you may have a lot to do no matter what shift you work.on the other hand, when i worked on a med surg unit, i ran around with my head chopped off for much o...

#1- 22 yrs #2- 23 yrs #3- 25 yrs Now we are done and they will all grow up together- wonderful:lol2:

This is heaven!! Thank you all so much!! This is invaluable info / resources to have. I have mark hammershmidt's book and I love it.

i have a littman master card and i absolutely love it. i say go for it- it's a wise investment.

my friend is a new grad and she is doing an internship which at the end of a year will place her in the picu. it was fairly easy for her to get in, they even advertise for nurses- columbia

are you in westchester? i am, i was feling very outnumbered until i saw your posting.lol:) :)

i'm a new RN grad who just got a job at Columbia Pres. In my recent job hunt, i've found that you can pretty much get a job in most hospitals. What may not be available to you as a new grad in some hospitals is critical care. they do however, have in...

do you know of any sane training programs in rockland or westchester county ny?? the nyc one still doesn't have a date for their next training so i'm looking around.heeellpp!!

it's not that one license seems more important than another, lpn's are not allowed to assess so an RN must either chart the assessment or initial the one performed by then LPN. an lpn cannot perform IVP meds so if she has a pt who requires that- an R...

you are a new nurse- let's not forget that. there are a lot of lpn's who know more than the average RN. now look at the nurse practice act and you will see exactly what an lpn is allowed to do. i can say some of them are lazy as are some rn's so don'...

ok agnus, i agree with the protesting bit- been there done that . a nurse cannot however, decide to not accept an assignment because if you refer to your nurse practice act, negligence is outlined in great detail.

that's 6-7 patients each which is magnificent where i'm from. when i worked as an lpn i had up to 9 pt's on a med surg floor- who i did everything for. i would love to work wherever you are.

i wouldn't tell, i would just move to an area of the classroom where the cheater(s) wasn't situated. reason being, if you tell you may become involved in something that could potentially become very ugly. nursing school is hard enough without all the...

amanda, gather all the nclex review books that you can and just do questions. i intended on taking the kaplan course before my test but was unable to. a friend who took it gave me the cd's with the questions. it was a really great help. all...
