Assuming you can pass the boards and get a NY state license you can make anywhere from 60-70k a year in NYC (and the 5 boroughs) as an RN. If you dont live in the city (where the rent is insane) you can live pretty comfortably..... depending on the t...

Critterlover...I emailed the angiodynamics (who we use for PICC lines at my job) rep and awaiting his response regarding certification....I'll see what he/she sais (i'll also email Bard...we use some of their PICSS as well) if I can get some of these...

Thanks for the suggestion...went on the omnicare site but they dont seem to be looking for any nurses in NY as per their jobs section....I might give them a call though.... and as far as calling pharmacies in Brooklyn...do u mean small mom and pop pl...

steve I would be interested in the manual that would explain how to start a CPR training business.... Kevin L RN

tracking thread....

How do I contact these pharmacies or even find out their phone numbers to find out if they need PICC nurses....I'm in Brooklyn New York but willing to do some traveling.

critter lover so you dont even use a portable ultrasound to do it? Totally blind? Do you aim for the basilic vein most of the time? I'm in NY and have an agency job in interventional radiology (nurses are NOT allowed to place PICCs in my facility) I ...

also watching this thread...I'm an associate degree RN and have a bachelors in biology....would like to become an NP but many programs want a bachelors to even get into the program.

Halinja thanks for the link...while it provides very interesting historical info it doesnt say anything about the mechanism of action/physiology of how the urine can help with burns....basically i'm trying to figure out if this is a wifes tail as in....

Would you do it to survive though?

....drinking urine huh.... exactly WHAT benefits would that have? (no, proven ones, not the ones they "claim")

if so how many continuing education credits per what amount of time are required....thanks.

thanks for the advice... 1st link has good info..but based on the references it seems outdated..... 2nd link shows a quick study from the UK with no detailed data....3rd link didnt work.... any nurses have first hand experience with this?

Id like to get the same answer for New York as I'm interested in putting a PICC line under fluoro with sono guidance....

I'd like to hear what you think about being an NP vs an RN. How you like your job...if you regret anything....

I'm an ER RN 7 months out of school. I have a bachelors in bio and an associates in nursing. I really want to become an NP but have never worked with an NP. I am looking for a bridge program that would allow me to bridge my bachelors in bio into a ma...

very expensive I agree. But you get what you pay for. As an undergrad I've been to 3 Cuny/State schools and then went to a private nursing school....big difference...you get what you pay for.

I was told (by laymen) that it's not good to hug people or shake hands with people that have been getting radiation therapy for cancer. Is any of this true? Any validity? Thanks in advance...

Those who work in new york city hospitals for the city of new year HHC (Health and hospitals corp) know that city nurses are working without a contract for several years now....the teachers, firefighters, cops and soon MTA will have a new contract, w...

Just checking... How many times can one test? We live in ny. Im pretty sure its indefinite until you pass but am i right?
