1. Seems a bit excessive to me....

   Anderle replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

   I live in Ca and if you search the Sacramento Bee for State Worker Salaries you will find one person making that much. But there are several nurses making about the $200,000 range in Corrections. While I was a student I looked into the nursing job at...

2. student nurse venting about paperwork

   Anderle replied to bernikitty's topic in Student Assist

   Thanks for bringing this up.I am a new grad. I think you should mention this to your director. We did many clinicals in hospitals that had computerized charting. We'd chart by checking WNL or NWNL (not within normal limits) then if NWNL you'd be pr...

3. Are you so busy that you don't get a lunch break?

   Anderle replied to cashew1's topic in General Nursing

   I am a new grad, but when doing clinicals, most of the time the nurse I was with did not take a break or lunch. My preceptor never took lunch and seldom sat down, but I'd say she'd pace herself so she was seldom frenzied. Other nurses I met would com...

   Anderle replied to mali2008's topic in California

   Sorry I cannot help you, but was hoping anyone can describe what an online skill assessment will ask. The CA State Prison system also has an online skills assessment for nurses.

8. Feeling unskilled/unprepared with no new grad training

   Anderle posted a topic in New Nurse

   One of the main concerns of many of my former classmates was the limited opportunities to practice and apply the nursing skills learned in lab during our clinical training. Also due to college budget cuts, summer or winter break work/study programs w...

9. How is job market NOW for Registered Nurses?

   Anderle replied to pat8585's topic in New Nurse

   I think it depends on where you live. In my area SF Bay and south, there is a new grad surplus and no new grad programs. Some new grad positions are opening, but usually want BSN (not me) and it is very competitive. My fellow classmates who found goo...
