  3. help me choose a job-HOURS

    RN4NICU replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I would take #1. Night shift was not very good to my health and I hope to never work it again. Plus, four hour morning shifts are great! I've worked them and they are so unobtrusive, I...

  4. medical careers insititue va?

    RN4NICU replied to Nadia24's topic in General Nursing

    I notice it is approved by the NC, VA, and SC boards of nursing, but it is not accredited by the CCNE or the NLNAC. That could prove problematic when you choose to further your education later. It...

  6. Male RN gets to pay more?

    RN4NICU replied to churro's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I get that, but it is not as common in nursing (the OP did ask about nursing) - at least not anywhere I have worked. Every place I have worked as a nurse, there is a uniform salary table that is...

    RN4NICU replied to churro's topic in General Nursing

  9. what do you all think about 12 hour shifts?

    RN4NICU replied to emmycRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can see where 12s might be preferable to you, from what you describe. I am single with no kids, so when I get off work, I don't have to come home and deal with kids, homework, etc. I come home,...

  10. Wondering how u decided where 2 work after nursing school.

    RN4NICU replied to ymr9860's topic in General Nursing

    1. what area of nursing did you work in right out of school? or 2. how did you end up there? (choice or chance or a little of both) a position in my area of first choice (nicu) was not available, and...

  11. what do you all think about 12 hour shifts?

    RN4NICU replied to emmycRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do not get paid vacation (I just don't schedule myself when I want time off) or benefits, but it works out because I get a higher rate of pay in return. I do take call, but I am not required to do...

  12. what do you all think about 12 hour shifts?

    RN4NICU replied to emmycRN's topic in General Nursing

  14. Is it a good idea to be a CNA before being an RN???

    RN4NICU replied to SweetLadyJ's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is necessary or even helpful enough to justify the cut in pay. I never worked as a CNA and I did just fine. Keep in mind, however, that as you enter clinicals in your RN program, it...

  15. Registry question

    RN4NICU replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

    Our registry nurses are on the schedule too. We let the scheduler know when we want to work and, if we are needed, we get the shifts/hours we want. But if full-time people want those hours, they get...

  16. Registry question

    RN4NICU replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like your place of employment works similar to mine (I don't know if there are any that would work differently). No, you aren't "fired" or "laid off" when you go to registry, but you aren't...

  17. Heads up: NBC nightly news tonight

    RN4NICU replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but there isn't really a shortage of students/applicants, is there? The bigger problem in the education area is that there are not enough seats in nursing programs due to a shortage of nursing...

    RN4NICU replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The reason for the difference is it denotes the degree that the particular school confers. A person who graduates with an ASN or an AAS does not have an ADN. ADN might be AN associates degree in...

  21. What is the best thing about nursing???

    RN4NICU replied to JeN-SN's topic in General Nursing

  24. Understaffing and burnout

    RN4NICU replied to cherishlpn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It took them a year and a half of research to figure that out? A little common sense would have saved them a lot of time. This isn't something that hasn't been known all along. Perhaps the researchers...
