The ammount of objects that peopole stick up their butt yowsers

If you ae only concerned with the salary go out to Arizona or California. You can start off as a new grad at about $26 an hr

Did you guys wind up getting a new overnight RN? I came out there and interviewed but didn't hear anything back.

LAZY NURSES!!!!!! That is what I hate to see the most in the ER. It is sooo agrivating when you have a person on your team that does everything in their power to avoid working and taking patients and then only does the bare minimum when they do work. Or nurses who are aging and just trying to salvage a few remaining years to increase their retirement. If you no longer have the ability to work hard and keep the pace of the ER that is fine BUT CHANGE SPECIALITIES UUUUGGGhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! If you can't tell it is a frustrating day at work.

What did you dislike about Verde Valley Medical Center?

Well. . . . You will need an AZ nursing license, or at least a US nursing license if you are going to work in a federal system. There are a ton of detox/methadone/opoid clinics in PHX. I don't believe that addiction pays as well as most other specialities. This is what I have heard from talking with other nurses but I cant verify it for sure. Most hospitals have an onine application process, but you could always look into agency work if you are moving to the Phoenix valley.

If you are working in LTC make sure the Narc count is right.

Time and repitition are the best teachers of skill. Unfortunately sonetimes we don't get the response that we want and all we can do is try our best. I imagine that a local community college would have some CEUs on theraputic communication. In fact if you ask your DON there may be some training available.

In Arizona it is agains the law for an LPN to triage. This is because triage is an assessment and only an RN can assess. an LPN can gather and report facts. There are lot of times when this becomes more like splitting hairs then anything else.

Federal or not the best way to get your foot in the door is to call the nurse recruiter. They can help your applicatin along in the federal system. PM me if you want a list of Navajo area recruiters. I am not allowed to post names or contact info on this site. Ridersofrohan8 is my gmail.

Honestly folks if the money and lack of rent is the biggest draw to Saudi you might as well just look into a contract with IHS. You can make the same ammount and work out a deal to have housing for free. Income tax would still be an issue though.

Are there oppertunities for male nurses there? Are men and women allowed to hang out with eachother?

Are male nurses well received in Saudi? What positions are open to us there? I don't know alot about the Saudi culture but I have heard that there is some issue with men touching a woman or with a woman touching a man. Is this true? Does it apply to the hospital setting? THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!

Sounds to me like social progress

The best place is where you are happy!!!!!! Some men flock to ER and ICU because it interests them. Some go into administration some go into hospice or outpatient clinics. Any speciality area is a good speciality, but I have heard it said that the best speciality area is the one that will pay you to come to work As a new grad i would keep my eye out for that one and build up the skill set from there.
