  1. Help with figuring out pay package

    Hello all! Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me with this. I'm not planning on taking an assignment until April, but asked my recruiter to send me a basic pay package for the area. This will be close to what I will be offered I guess when...
  2. Help with figuring out pay package

    Not entirely sure. I just know it is what I've heard.
  3. Help with figuring out pay package

    Ok. Because I keep hearing it should never be below 18 or else it is a red flag for the IRS. Just concerned with this being my first assignment and not really understanding all of the tax aspects yet.

    Is the taxable rate too low? Where should I try to keep it usually?
  5. Help with figuring out pay package

    Ok. I am actually waiting on another recruiter to send me an example pay package as well. The one above is just a basic one to give me an idea of what the numbers will be. I think it will be more because I am PCU/Tele/Stepdown Cardio. I just need hel...
  6. Best specialty for travel?

    Didn't realize that particular formation of symbols and letters made an emoticon. As most can guess, that should be nurse : patient ratio
  7. Best specialty for travel?

    I think this is the sort of thread I'm looking for. I'm a tele RN and I'm ready to start looking at agencies. I'm hoping to take an assignment sometime in May or June at the latest. I was wondering about the nurse:patient ratios as well. Where I'm at...

  9. Agency jobs in Pittsburgh area?

    I've known Forbes Regional Hospital to use agency nurses before. I don't know which agency it was though. I know this for a fact because I worked there for 3 years as a PCT and met many! Be warned though, that hospital is the roughest of the rough. ...
  10. Hi everyone! So I have to find a few clinical sites for my program starting in January and I just wanted to know if anyone knew of some agencies that were more receptive to receiving students who have a RN license? I know I've heard of students hav...
  11. RN to BSN folks; Clinical sites in Pittsburgh

    I definitely want to do hospice volunteering. I would not mind the Health Dept and would probably prefer to do the Immunizations clinic. For the non-acute care setting, I only need 2 8 hour days. I would love to do more with the hospice care though...
  12. RN to BSN folks; Clinical sites in Pittsburgh

    I need a site in at least one, preferably 2, non acute care setting. I've always been interested in volunteering for hospice programs. I was also thinking a couple of days with the Health Department.
  13. So, I just finished my first week on orientation. It is definitely a lot of information to take in. I do feel myself struggling with transitioning from that role of a nursing student and a aide for so many years. I hope to leave that behind after ...

  17. How long to wait to take the NCLEX???

    So I'm going to be starting my clinicals here in a week. I am already thinking that I will be relocating to TN when I finish school. I was told that I can take the NCLEX at a PA testing center and my license would come from TN. I'm just trying...

    O.k. I'm at Boyce Campus in the day program. So for future reference what process is it that we go through in order to take the NCLEX? I keep seeing something about an ATT. I'm going to be starting my clinicals here in a week. I am already thin...

    Were there mostly power points for lectures? Did you use 3 separate binders for clinical, lab, lecture? I'm just trying to figure out what I should and shouldn't get. I know highlighters are a must! Anything else you know of that would help?

  22. CCAC Fall 2011

    Thanks! Another quick question. I type faster than I write and wondered how many students you saw using their laptops to take notes in lecture? I plan to take a recorder, but If I can take my laptop it would be great.

    Where did you go for your Peds rotation? I really want to to Children's Hospital, but I heard they usually use Children's Initiative.
