Hello fellow nurses. I need to know how long do I wait for a travel company to find me an assignment. It has been almost 4 weeks. Do I tell them to forget about it, and just find a job when I get there? I feel my recruiter is trying her best, but I ...

I have 6 years of RN experience. The recruiter tells me my credentials are great, but the hospitals she's putting me in for, are not calling me.

No. My specialty is med/surg with surgical and orthopedic experience. I have not asked for any specific hospital. I just want to be near my family. They live in Delray beach, florida.

I work in a rural hospital. I make $23.67/hr. with 4 yrs. experience. I make night, and weekend differential.

I have been working night shift all but 2 years of my nursing career. I have been in nursing for 8 years. Everyone is different, but the most important thing is to get enough sleep. Buy black-out curtains, make it cool in your room, turn off the tv. ...

I would love to have my own bakery, maybe make breads, pasteries, and donuts. I would love to be my own boss. My parents owned their own business, and it was alot of work, but also rewarding. If, I ever leave nursing, that is what I would like to do.

Make your concerns known to the administration. This is the right time to do it. You need to feel comfortable in order to do your best work. I have worked in a LTC, and even with the pages of medications you have to pass, you still have to remember t...

I went through the same thing. I took the NCLEX through Florida, passed, then endorsed my license for Nevada. It didn't take very long. I think it took about 2 weeks.

Don't settle for being a MA. That gives you no nursing experience. Keep putting in those applications, and resumes. If you need a job, find one in the hospital. Do your networking that way, and they can also see how you work, and your work ethic. Sta...

I just recently started to understand this concept of holiday pay. I don't get too frazzled about it. When its my holiday to work, I work. What I don't like about Holidays, is that co-workers with kids, think they are entitled to have holidays off. I...

My dad and I had a talk one day, about my future. My dad tells me to pick a career that you will always have a job, and that you won't have to rely on a man, for your financial security. I took his advice to heart, and picked nursing. Nursing has sec...

Rural hospitals do have orientation for their nurses. It is just different from the bigger hospitals. Rural nurses will not let you go until they feel you are ready. Rural nurses like to know about you. So be prepared to give you life story a few tim...

It sounds like you have a lot more questions about this new position. In my experience, the pay does not mean it is a good work place. You need to research turnover rate. The nurse-patient ratio. Good luck in your decision.

congratulations! Is that where you want to be in your career? I am surprised you wouldn't want to take care of patients on the floor first. Good luck to you.

I want to be in the OR, soo bad. I am waiting for my DON to sign me up for ACLS and TNCC. The hospital pays for it. The hospital i am at now, is very small, and has no other areas, but med/surg., and telemetry. I need some help with a plan of action ...

I agree with everyone's comment about night shift, so far. I have this feeling of a general disregard for night shift people, and the fact that we work just as hard as day shift. We catch a lot of mistakes, too. People in the hospital don't all sleep...

since we are the topic of licensing. Can a RN hold licenses in different states without losing the license they have currently. My husband and I want to move to Idaho, and I want to start the process now. any information would be good.

I have my BSN. My goal is to be in the OR. But, everyone seems to tell me that a CCRN, is what I need first, then do a little time in the ICU. Right now, I am on a med-tele floor. I have been nursing for 3 years. Are these the right steps to take. I ...

No. The dermatologist needs to reach into his pocket, and pay more. We all know, he getting his money.

How is the scheduling? Do you have every other weekend off? Is there rotating shifts? I need to ask a question. When a hospital gives you a career assessment, that you either pass or fail. What are they looking for. Usually i have good instincts. An...

I work at a rural hospital in nevada. 2 er beds, and 11 acute beds. I have 6 years of experience there. I want to go to a bigger hospital, in order to get more experience, in surgery and wound care. Does anyone think it is a stigma to work in a rura...

THIS DECEMBER, I WILL HAVE MY YEAR IN AS A RN. IS THERE A BIG SALARY DIFFERENCE, ONCE SOMEONE GETS THEIR YEAR EXPERIENCE IN?

Have you tried looking at rural hospitals. Nevada has quite a few. I am from one. Mount grant general hosptial, in hawthorne, nevada. We hire new grads. Its a small hospital, but it is not overwhelming, like a big hospital can be. Mount grant is a gr...

dont read too much into this test. keep answering questions, and reading rationales. I took the TEST 4 times. I didnt notice if the test was harder, or not. I have test anxiety, and I concentrated alot on preparing myself, through relaxation exercise...
