  8. With some sort of fortitude, the "older nurses" would have gone back to school for MSN or beyond and be away from the bedside as a masters prepared nurse or better yet, AT the bedside. Not for...
  9. New BSN grad jobs.

    I can confirm this after meeting with USAF, Army, Navy recruiters - all of them before graduation. They pretty much don't want new grads and the ones they take don't get nearly the incentives they...

    Unemployment is common unfortunately...or thousands of applicants for hundreds of new graduate residency program
  11. Sharp MBHWN RNs-- NICU new grad program

  18. AZ Temporary License

    I am trying to endorse my license from NY to Arizona, and the requirements on the website list either 960 hours or refresher course OR "advanced nursing degree" in last 5 years. However, they neglect...

  21. I'd worry more about employment picture with an ADN right now. Locking down 1+ yrs in critical care is no cakewalk. They usually won't take ER...they want solid ICU experience infusing vaso-active...
  22. Thanks : ) I hope more people take a good, solid look at home health! Hospital jobs aren't growing. Another area of growth is Hospice....for obvious reasons. People are living longer but there is a...
  23. Grateful to have a job.....

    Getting into Critical Care directly out of RN school is VERY tough these days....not impossible, but be ready to be patient that could take months after you graduate. Only way to get an "in" is to CNA...
