Well, I wrote back a few months ago about transferring into ED with a history of acute care, critical care and leadership. I finally made the decision to do it!! My last day will be 4/3 in leadership and I’ll be starting in ED right at the peak of a...

Thank you so much for your feedback!!

I’ve been a nurse for 10 years now. I’ve done a lot: Med surg, Tele, cvicu, NVICU, neuro...I’m sure more. I’ve been in management a few years now and boy that’s not as much fun as I always pictured. I digress, I’ve been considering a transfer i...

Luckily (I think). I’ve been away from bedside for a few years. So I’ve pretty much forgotten my processes. Haha

JKL33, Thank you for your perspective. There will definitely be a learning curve. I fully accept that I will feel like a fish out of water even with 10 years of nursing experience.

Okay, small background...been a nurse 5.5 years. 3 years experience med/surg 2.5 experience ICU. Charge nurse experience in both. Have my BSN, finishing my MSN within the next couple of months. Okay...so I applied for a Nursing Supervisor position...

I finished their MSN Leadership in May and took a new position as a Nurse Clinician which at my facility is the educator plus.

The hospital phone. Half a norco I forgot to waste.

Finished my MSN in May! Now looking at the MBA-healthcare program. Anyone completed it? Any words of wisdom?

So, I had the same exact thing happen to me. I submitted a regular application and they hired me to be the ADON. I was estactic. Until I realized that I was salary...working 60-80 hours a week or more because I had to fill in every time there was a...

DARN...I think I would rather have papers than tests....much easier to BS ha ha

How long did it take you? Did you have management/financial background? Any words of wisdom for getting through the classes faster? What kind of changes were made from "old" to "new"?

As charge nurse on the unit, depending on staffing, I am in charge of 1-2 patient care techs, 1 secretary, and 11-18 nurses on days I am charge :) Thanks so much!!

I'm sorry....here in Texas Nursing supervisor is like assistant nurse manager or permanent charge nurse. Sorry I didn't make that clear

Advice needed: Started a new job in Sept in ICU on staff. Finishing MSN Leadership this summer or sooner. Should I a) start applying now for ANM/manager positions? Or b) wait until I have the MSN? Which one yields me the better chance of getting hire...

Yes I am quite sure as I started my MSN program in August and I am already almost finished in way less than a year :) All postings I've seen are either BSN preferred or BSN required. Which I have one. I naturally wouldn't apply for a position I didn...

I went to thr through supplemental :)

I have 4 years experience and can't get a call back either. Don't feel bad.

Definitely not. I've job searched recently with 4 years experience in a variety of areas and are getting no calls.

Yay!!

Hug my baby and lay on the couch to veg out

You are awesome!! Thanks for all your info!! I emailed my enrollment counselor I've been emailing and asked her to call me Monday night.

Awesome!! Maybe I will then :) plus I think they sent me a code for free app fee. Score! Lol

Oh okay! So they will not pressure me to start right away??
