Ah, I am sorry to read this post... as a CNO, I round all of my units (I have 3 sites) at least every 3 days, the ones where I have my office daily, the other two buildings I try to hit at least 2 times a week. I feel like it is essential that I see ...

Hello All- I recently accepted a position as the Nurse Executive for a psych hospital and I am struggling to recruit nursing leaders (I need 2-3 nursing supervisors and a manager). I am curious what strategies have been used to recruit in the past. ...

Good morning! Looking for some insight. I am interviewing for the DON or DNS position for a 197 bed facility and unsure of the salary expectation. I have 7 years experience and have 5 years experience in leadership: mostly in acute care. Any insight?...

Hi... I'll type more when I am not in my phone... I have 11 years total in healthcare: 7 as a nurse. Of those 7 5 of them I worked LTC as a second job. And was offered 120,000

Sorry! Thought I posted that... this is for Massachusetts, around 40 mins from Boston.

I was an RN for 1 year before I became the house supervisor for a hospital... I have since been in leadership roles for 6 years. I would expect you would make around 26-28/hr?

Good Evening, everyone! I am a one time traveler here, I actually left my home in Iowa to come to the east coast where I was in a contract for 6 months, and then accepted a manager position here. Worked full time in hospital admission since (approx 2...

Just seeing if anyone here is either currently enrolled in an MSN program at Allen College in Waterloo, IA? I am set to start my MSN in January and would like to connect with some people.

Yes! I expect them to be covered at all times regardless of their location and/or meaning. I also expect all piercings except for ears to be removed.

Let me know how you do. We were recently told we needed our NE-BC within two years.

I am the Nursing Supervisor for a 133 bed hospital and I make closer to $40.00/hr.

Hi Everyone-- I need some advice, and I didn't know where to place this so if I am in the wrong forum, please move it moderators. ;-) I recently accepted a travel contract, but since then have been offered two other jobs, 1 was teaching part time at ...

Hey everyone- I was just offered a contract in Idaho for a med-surg, peds/float position. It is a day shift and the manager said that I would only have 4 patients if I were working with tele and 5 if I wasn't. Sounds pretty good I think, but they are...

Yea, I am an RN, have been a nurse for four years with a variety of experiences including charging. And this assignment the nurse manager did tell me on the phone that I may charge at times. I did tell the recruiter I was in no hurry to leave my curr...

Housing, 1 furnished bedroom is provided in addition. It just seems very low, especially considering I make 24 an hour at my hospital. Seems like a waste to drive 22 hours to make only 3 dollars more an hour. My recruiter is saying that because I am ...

What agencies are you guys working with? I am also with CCTC and they don't have ANYTHING in the D.C. area and that is where I really want to be.

Hi. I really want to travel to NYC later this year. Does anyone else have any other details or suggestions about traveling in NYC? I have experiences in psych (my favorite), med/surg and rehab.

Hi- I am also interested in what American Traveler has available. I am especially interested in the Orlando area. I am currently talking to two other companies but I am open to all possibilities.

This happens a lot at my hospital. We are a small, critical access hospital so it is either feast or famine. We maintain a 4:1 or 5:1 ratio, we have even been 3:1 so that no one had to take call. Generally speaking, someone always wants call so that ...

Don't forget the morphine.

Transplant... I work in a small hospital and our med-surg floor has ortho patients on it and really, the only challenge is controlling their pain and helping them up and down especially once they are their second day post op. Transplant sounds like f...

I never heard about this trick when I took my boards. I wish I had, it was a stressful 3 days. In Iowa, you can pay and get your results in 2-3 days depending on what day you take the test. And the Iowa Board of Nursing updates their phone verificati...

I loved being a Psych and substance abuse nurse... Not that that helps you much, but I would imagine getting hired at a hospital would allow you to transfer to other jobs within the system if you dislike psych whereas with correctional nursing you wo...
