Hey all-- I'm looking for advice about calling a potential manager... I applied for my DREAM job, and I do mean DREAM job. It's in my ideal location CO, my fiance has gotten his job already there , and it's in my dream specialty--Mother/Baby. My app...

Your poll question is not a "yes" or "no" question. The answer is BSN. But experience counts for everything in CO I think.

$10 says it's Swedish offering the bonus!

No I think they only hire experienced nurses. I've had several offers from them with only 1.5 years in my specialty though!

Anyone work for Banner?? Love it? Hate it??

Our CNAs cross train as scrub techs for c sections also.

Like 2 weeks here. But I also had a compact license, I don't know if that mAkes a difference.

No. Our pediatricians use Tylenol PO and lidocaine locally

I have a friend who works at Swedish and hates it. Benefits, supplies/equipment, etc are terrible per her--salaries are also low. She has taken on a second job to supplement income because she signed with them and would have to repay her sign on bonu...

I guess nobody here works for them??

My SIL just posted this article to her fb page : http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/article/2012/07/11/why-are-we-asking-wrong-questions-about-maternity-care I cannot find any of these "stats". Thoughts?

I do LOVE working at CRMC!!! I hear negative things about working in the pt tower on med/surg etc, but I think working on a specialty unit makes it much more enjoyable--we are in our own little world. I work with a great group of women and we are rea...

Welcome to CRMC! I work L and D there! I live in Ft. Collins, and love it there! However, usually peds in the ED get one of our Peds nurses from WCS to come down if it's anything more than a cough. CRMC hires new grads straight out of school, and th...

Wow, how can they hold your paychecks?!?! That sounds like crazy talk on their part!!! What about bedside charting? Or taking the MAR with you when you start and stop the infusion, marking both times on the MAR?

PVHS has a few listings on their website now that state in the description "new grads may apply". I am working in Cheyenne and living in Ft. Collins--- I love it! Welcome!! I hope you find something soon!

Does anyone here currently work at the Denver VA Hospital? I am currently working for the VA on the east coast, and considering a transfer---my fiance got a job in Denver... Any input as to job satisfaction, pay, specialties would be appreciated. I a...

I was in your same boat. I ended up getting a med-surg job, and took the course. It was very informative and it showed my boss now that I was determined to become an L and D nurse even though I was working med-surg. Showing that I took my own time, m...

To be honest, I don't know. I was only allowed to vaginals post epidural. I was simply asking about what I observed, and from the sound of it will never see again

I second this. I hope you find a better fit. I would hate to have that feeling in my stomach every day before heading to work that it was going to be an awful day. I hope you feel better soon!

Very funny! I feel bad for nurses that are really in this situation though! Thanks for sharing!

It all depends on the facility you are interested in working for as to whether or not they accept new grads in the ED. However, the sky is your limit! Keep your eyes and ears open---network while in clinical setting, and I'm sure you'll land an awes...

I was being sincere.

Thank you for the heads up Klone! You are most certainly my most trusted resource for all things CO and OB

I applied for both as well. I was offered 4 South, but have not heard anything about even an interview for ICU. Obviously I don't have experience in that area and may not be contacted at all---but I haven't heard from that listing. I'm sure you'll b...

I agree with Klone, verrrry long process! However, I spoke with an HR rep with one of the bigger hospital chains I applied to (Banner), and they said if they are interested they will contact within 24-48 hrs. My guess is smaller chains/facilities tak...
