Looking at possibly accepting a contract at NE Alabama RMC in Anniston. Reviews? Feedback? Opinions?

It is at the main RMC campus. Not sure which specific unit but I'm a Med/Surg Tele RN.

Any experience/advice as a travel nurse at UAB- Birmingham? Looking at accepting a M/S offer.

And the same goes for you!

Yes. I accepted the offer. I'll be working the GISO floor.

I've recently started the next step of my career as the Health and Wellness Director (DON) at an AL/ALH community. Would it be appropriate to wear a white lab coat (over business casual attire) while walking among the staff? I think it gives an air o...

Thanks for the input. Anyone else?

Confusing title I know but curious of the cost and time difference?

Why does the VA only pay overtime for hours worked over 80 per 2-week pay period? I work 36/44 but will not get the 4 hours OT. How do they get away with that?

Why is this different for the VA? When I worked in the private sector, I worked 36/48 and the 8 hours was OT so therefore any hours worked over 40 PER WEEK regardless of pay period was considered OT. As far as I know, this is the law under the FLSA.

Can anyone elaborate on their experience working at a VA Community Living Center or even the VA in general?

Our school requires the ATI program. Is the ATI program a good preparatory tool for the NCLEX-RN?

Let me preface this by saying that I am about to start my 3rd semester of an ADN program. The nursing field has become like any other occupational area; one has to compete and "jocky" for the position they want. I know this from my previous 20+ years...

What if you have a degree other than BSN? What about [name], BBA, RN? Or [name], BBA, ADN, RN?

I was having an interesting conversation the other day with a nurse friend. Let me pose this question to everyone: Is compassion required to be a good nurse? Can an uncompassionate person be a good nurse? What are your thoughts?
