finallyRN7 BSN

Rizz, You said (sorry, I forgot to add the quote initially), and I quote: "Currently I am working at the local health dpt in women's health. Here, we are given specialized training to perform advanced procedures beyond regular RN duties. For instanc...

Ipink, most public health positions actually require a BSN, so you're certainly ahead of the game.

Klone, okay thanks. I'll keep this in mind for future reference.

Olliesmommy1005 & mia415, would either of you like to share some of the questions that were asked during your interview for a PHN besides the standard/typical ones? Thanks!

Mia415, I suppose I'll have to ask HR for clarification. The ad stated the location of the job is @ the district office and stated it was a "shared county coverage" position. So I'm guessing it means ill have to cover more than one county which will ...

I think I found the answer to my question in another topic...

Do hospitals hire RN newbies in the PACU or just typically those with med-surf, ER, ICU experience?

Mia415, congratulations on your PHN position. I've run across a job ad and.... I'm curious if you're familiar with a PHN's role when assigned/hired in a position of "shared county coverage"? Does this mean the nurse will have a consistent and rotatin...

Did you get the job? How was the interview? How much training will you receive?

Can any of the graduates from the online RN-BSN program from Chamberlain tell me how the institution coordinates the research class or classes without going to a clinical sight??? I'm seriously contemplating the decision to go with Chamberlain, but I...

A phenomenal read. Very insightful. Thanks for sharing!!

What is the deal with "mandatory overtime" concerning nurses? Does this vary by state or facility or both as far as the maximum numbers, if so, where may I locate this information? Also, I understand the situation surrounding abandonment of a patient...

Thanks so much you guys for your knowledge and insight about this! I will thoroughly read my NPA concerning this matter. I have recently completed my BSN in nursing and have resumed a diligent search for my first nursing position and I wish to be ful...

Has anyone ever been privileged to be hired as part of hospital as a staff nurse and be allowed not to have to work weekends or holidays due to the schedule of your child's child care facility? I know these working hours are virtually unheard of at a...

GrnTea, Yes, the question was serious and I'm glad I received serious, mature, thought-out and professional answers from fellow nurses, as there were some replies that validated my curiosity. The nursing profession is for curious individuals, and i...

Thanks guys. The answers were where my gut led me. However, I know a friend who just landed a staff position at a hospital and has been secured a no weekends/holidays position simply because she knows the manager VERY well. A mere example of pure fav...

Hello All, I've just received an invitation to join the Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) Honor Society of Nursing. It is an honor to have received the invitation, but I just don't know if it's the right organization to spend my hard earned funds ...

Thanks guys for the advice. I believe I'll accept the invitation and join since I've earned it. It just might help to get me into graduate school down the road. I still have a desire to join ANA as well, but that'll happen once it's time to renew STT...

TickyRN, Where did you decide to work? I see that Houston Healthcare has a Med-Surg. RN residency program for new RNs with less than one year of experience. What do you know, if anything about this program for RNs who are no longer considered "new" (...

So, how has Occuvax turned out? How did you guys apply, because their website only states to forward a resume to the email address provided if one was interested in working for Occuvax?? Was anyone called for an interview? Did anyone receive a call f...

Hi keykey, I'm getting ready to apply for endorsement in Georgia. On the Cogent online registration, there are two highlighted and asterisk sections that ask for an ORI/OAC* and verification code*. What are they and where do I obtain them, if they e...

Heavenly4505, You are correct. Questions involving marital status and if you have children or not are irrelevant and indeed ILLEGAL! The reason you got the interview had to do with your skill qualifications. If you don't get hired I would definitely ...

Has anyone completed the Collaborative Healthcare class?? What was the workload like? Would you recommend pairing it with Health Assessment? Thanks!

It will soon be three years since I completed my ADN for nursing, and it's been two and a half years since becoming licensed for RN. I have zero RN experience, as the job market has sucked and still does, but I have and continues to apply to vacancie...

LunahRN, Thanks for replying... So, I should contact a recruiter even though I've yet to complete my degree? I figured I'd be wasting their time since I've not a BSN yet?? Is there only a certain time of the year that one can apply? I want to try to ...
