Who do you think is paying for your education? Not Obama...me, and all of the other hardworking taxpayers in this country!

I'm with Clint...go ahead, make my day tomorrow! Romney/Ryan all the way!!!

I'm also curious about jobs/wages in Florida, specifically the Pensacola area. I've been traveling for the last year, but want to settle down closer to home (Louisiana). Psych is my specialty. Any ideas?

Does anyone have any experience with this facility in Dallas? Any info would be greatly appreciated! :nuke:

I am wanting to travel, but my experience includes 8 mos. Med/Surg and a year Psych. I love Psych and really don't want to do anything else. I would appreciate any input as to whether or not I have enough experience to travel. Also, recommendation...

Thanks, everyone, for your input. Any recommendations for travel nurse companies with Psych positions?

So you weren't overwhelmed on your first assignment? What type of facility were you sent to? I would be so afraid to take an assignment with only 8 mos. med/surg. I left that hospital feeling like I had so much to learn!

What about a Psych assignment? Do you feel that a year in Psych is enough experience?

I'm graduating in December with my R.N. Have just about made up my mind that I'm moving to California. As most of you know, we don't enter the workforce knowing much, and I'm really hoping to find a hospital that has a good preceptorship program fo...

Took NCLEX-RN today and OMG I'm freaking out. I can't believe I sat there for nearly 6 hours and had to answer that many questions. There were so many things I've never heard of...surgeries...drugs! It was horrible! Who else had that many question...

I just checked the BON website again and I AM A FREAKING REGISTERED NURSE!!!!!!! I've been checking it almost every hour...checked it before I went to bed at 11:00 p.m...nothing. Woke up at 2:00 a.m. and checked for the heck of it, feeling stupid f...

Thanks so much for the encouragement, Suzanne.

Thank you and CONGRATULATIONS!

Good luck to you, too!

Thanks so much. I did the search and found plenty of people who had 265. Seems like most passed, but I'm not letting that get my hopes up.

Congratulations! No quick results available in CA, so I keep checking the BON website q 2...haha!

I'm graduating in December (2 more months!) and am going through a bit of a dilemna. My original plan was to work on a Med-Surg floor for at least a year just to get some general experience and figure out what I want to do. Being 47 years old, howeve...

:roll

Are they offering sign-on and relocation assistance? What is the starting pay and shift differential for new grads?

I have to agree. I live in Louisiana and will be moving to California when I graduate in December. I spent 5 years in Huntington Beach several years ago, and I made friends easier there than I do here in Louisiana. I miss California...the scenery,...

Exactly why I decided against moving to Austin. I lived there before and loved it, but I found out they're starting new grads out at around $20/hr., and that's the same as here in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The cost of living is considerably higher i...

Will be visiting Cali in May to check out hospitals, apartments, etc. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge about the hospitals in Ventura County? I will be a new grad (R.N.) in December, so I'm especially interested in which ones have good new g...

Thanks, Kristi! Definitely helps--I'm making index cards on some of these to help me prepare for NCLEX.

Could someone please explain? Thanks!

What type of patients on the 5th and 8th floors?
