I just got hired as a "per diem" nurse, and I'm wondering if I can work 'per diem" at two hospitals to assure that I am working full time? Do nurses work per diem at several hospitals?

There are a few old articles on the subject, so, I am hoping that there are many more in 2016. Anyone use straighter line and then go to western governors university? Kaplan/Brightwood?

Please state what you know about 6 figure nursing specialties that are the least stressful Midwife? Cardiac certification? Ect.

I have never been through the process, and have heard that its really intense. Since I am a new LPN, I would like to know if anyone knows of the easiest way to get that certification.

For all nurses who have already gotten their first position after passing NCLEX. How many interviews did you get before landing the job? Did you send out more than 50 resumes before getting an interview? Any real life stories would help.

I recently got my first job as an LVN. I was very excited at first, but, now, three weeks into it, I am upset because I am being picked on by the staff. It is my first job as a nurse and I guess I hoped that they would be nicer to me. I am thinking o...

I was just hired to work 5 days per week. Nothing was said about benefits, but, I thought that I would get them if I were hired full time.

A few of my friends who are still in nursing school are having trouble with taking blood pressure manually. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a sphygmomanometer that is easy to use? All that their school asks is that it be manual; it doesn't matter...

Thank you OldDude, Would a Littmann Classic be a good stethoscope?

I know what you mean. Its pretty crazy..

Anyone know if its even possible for a new LPN to find a job that is low stress? I'm talking low to the point where she can go to school for BSN and still be able to study. Any experiences, advice or even hospital jobs that are not necessarily "nurs...

Just wondering. So many RNs claim that they love being in GI. Just wondering if clinics/hospitals in California hire LVNs for these positions. If so, can they receive certifications in the specialty as RNs do? Thanks in advance

You must first analyze why you failed. My good friend failed twice and when I asked her this question she knew immediately that she just did not have enough nursing knowledge. She was super stressed in school and skated by. So, by the end of school ...

I took the NCLEX and I have heard that the Pearson trick no longer works. Also, because I live in California I can't use the quick results tab. Is it possible that I will have to wait a full 6 weeks to get results? I took the test over 4 weeks ago, a...

Is it a better, more economical decision to go from LPN or RN and then RN to BSN, or to just go straight from LPN to BSN? Any theories or real life experiences would be helpful.

I live in California and have discovered that we have some very limited options as to online LPN to BSN options. There are many Universities throughout the country that have programs but few in California. I would appreciate any suggestions about on...

Thanks for the link. That helps a lot.

Funny how non believers seem to all have this view of "preaching." The poster did not mention anything about preaching and running on. She simply said that she was asked if she was religious and that a few things were said. Because hatred of Christi...

Exactly. Seriously! My neighbor is an elderly Jewish woman who is outraged by lines like this. She stated that the attack on Christians today is no different than the German attack on Jews in the 1930s. Look at this! People saying things like thi...

Well, what is such a major inconvenience about simply stating, "I don't want to be saved." ? Is that so much work? How is the Christian to know that you don't want to be saved? They may think that you simply don't know how to approach a relationship...

Really? I see this thread as a great excuse for haters to spread their hate.. This is the foundation of Nazi Germany and its feelings towards Jews.

Just be polite and say that you are not a believer. This is a nursing forum about nursing, not a place to rant about how you can't stomach Christians. Honestly, I am sure that she did not mean to insult you and was just trying to bring something ple...

Just wondering if anyone has some advice on how a student nurse can get a job in a hospital without a professional license. I just got a phlebotomy certification and am now taking an EKG class in effort to be marketable. I also just took my NCLEX LVN...

I am hoping to find some accelerated nursing program in crazy California. So far there is nothing under 2 years that I can find. Before I dign with Western Governors University I decided to see if anyone knows something that I don't. I just hate...

Thanks nurses. I guess I am impatient. 2.5 years is what it will have to be. All I need now is a job in a hospital to carry me that long.
