    Tucson Medical Center - New Grad Pay?

    If I had to take a wild guess......I'd say its nowhere near close to SF pay. I started at $26.45 base pay in Arizona. Good

    Too slow for med-surg: other work options?

    It is not you it is the nature of the job. Like others have mentioned, med-surg is not for everyone. Case management sounds like something you'd enjoy and be awesome at. Whatever you chose, good...

    DNR bracelet with DNR written on it. HIPAA???

    We use a purple arm band and that's it. Red is allergies with them written on them and yellow is high fall risk. I agree, no need to write

    Will I ever see the light of day?

    After working a week on days recently, I rather not be offered a day position. I rather deal with double the patients at night minus administrative BS, rude personell, catty co-workers and yes, the...
  18. I went the private route. As long as you did well on the NLN PAX, had a high GPA you were in. It was costly, but I am now graduated and my hospital pays for my student loans with no commitment of...

    Just took the HESI NCLEX-RN class and....

    I took it in Sept. and same story for us. HESI refused to issue a refund. There were more mistakes in that book and all they had to say was they were going to update them soon. Thankfully I passed...

    Do many nurses resent their patients?

    I don't "resent", but some do have actions/attitudes I'd rather not experience. I take care of them just as equally as the next person. Sometimes you can't take the bitterness out of an apple-I just...
