    PSA healthcare "Assessment Center"

    WannaBNursey posted a topic in Home Health

    After getting a few months experience in the hospital I decided to try for a PRN job with PSA healthcare. I put in my application and was sent an email stating that they don't have traditional...

    PSA healthcare "Assessment Center"

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Home Health

    Not much in way of pay. $4 less/hr than I make at the hospital. But I figure it's worth it for the peds experience. 1 12 hr shift of training per pt. More PDN than skilled

    Fall 2012 new nursing students roll call!!!

    WannaBNursey replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    I've graduated my ADN program and passed the NCLEX! I'm now working on a med-surg floor and will be picking up shifts with Ped's Home Health. I'll be continuing on to my BSN in a few

    Calling All First Year Med-Surg RN's!

    WannaBNursey replied to Catherinexi17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just wanted to kind of add on to what I had said before. I'm now two months into my job, I switched from days to nights and I really love it! I'll be on my own in 3 weeks and I actually feel like...

    Thanks schoolnurse64! how long ago did you interview with PSA. I've talked with the DON at this branch and we've talked about my schedule and stuff already along with how much training I'll

    Just accepted a new job... then my dream job called...

    WannaBNursey replied to ER28's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If it's really your dream, I'd just quit the first job, but expect to be placed on the "do not rehire" list. Best of luck on your interview, and congrats on getting that first

    My Career options after graduation

    WannaBNursey replied to ariel91's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds like a nice, relatively stress free job compared to the hospital. I assume you get benefits as well? I'd keep that public health job, they're hard to come

    Calling All First Year Med-Surg RN's!

    WannaBNursey replied to Catherinexi17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'll be a month into orientation this weekend and I hate it. I was friends with my preceptor when I was a CNA and I thought it would be fantastic but she's just getting irritated with me at this point...

    Pediatric Home Health as a New Grad?

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Home Health

    Thank you! I have started at a hospital and am working through my preceptorship there. There's no pediatric, NICU, or L&D unit at any of the local sister hospitals, which sucks, but I'm enjoying...

    Failed the CNA test on the first try

    WannaBNursey replied to marie4nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I failed the first time too! The second time around I went over each and every skill and memorized them back and front. The second time I got much easier

    RN's what was your occupation while in nursing school?

    WannaBNursey replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    When I was doing CNA training in Tennessee 2 of my preceptors were going for their CNA 2. The nursing home paid for their training. Are there programs like this in your area? If you can afford it, it...

    Hospital CNA job listing disappeared after 6 days?

    WannaBNursey replied to Dancingqueen94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Often times hospitals are required to post jobs online for open positions even when they know exactly who they are going to hire (usually an internal candidate). At one hospital system in the area, HR...

    It's so good to hear a new grad success story for home health! Congrats! You give me hope.

    Do you want to be jobless after nursing school? I didn't think so...

    WannaBNursey replied to Manny92's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Your CNA experience only changes your starting pay rate. It doesn't give you actual RN experience, you're still considered a new grad, but you get paid like you have some

    Do you want to be jobless after nursing school? I didn't think so...

    WannaBNursey replied to Manny92's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Or you could just start working as a PCT/CNA right now. There are some hospitals that will give a year of RN experience for every 2 years of CNA experience and you could start off your hourly pay...

    Challenging the CNA exam in Florida

    WannaBNursey replied to Cynt87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I got dinged for dumping in the sink. I failed the first time because of catheter care. It was ridiculous. My brother failed his test because he forgot to set the scale to 0 before he weighed his...

    Passed my CNA Exam today now what???

    When I tested in Florida I was told I could use my test results to apply to

    Should this new grad decline this job offer?

    WannaBNursey replied to BambiBelle07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would wait to see what happens with the other interview. Did they say when they would get back with you? I actually turned down a job because it required me to travel 2 hours one way just for...

    I Hope No One Hires You

    WannaBNursey replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What has your turn over rate been? Are you giving enough quality orientation? Is it really just this one nurse or multiple nurses who have done this? I've never not given notice, but there have been...

    What Scrub brands run the largest?

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'll have to try those out! I did wind up buying Cherokee luxe in a 4x and I'm so comfortable! They don't hug me too tight, they stretch well, are nice and cool, AND they're actually pretty! More than...

    What Scrub brands run the largest?

    WannaBNursey posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm rather large and I assume I'm not the only nurse out there that has trouble finding scrubs over a size 3xl. As embarrassed as I am to admit this I don't fit into 3x with most scrub brands, and...

    I did the "phone interview" this morning. It was just a confirmation of what was on the application already. I interview next Tuesday. Any tips? Has anybody else applied to the July

    How long did it take you to get your first RN job?

    WannaBNursey replied to coffeemama0112's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have an ADN and have had 2 job offers, and am applying to a third hospital system in the hopes of getting my dream job (I don't have my hopes up). There's only one hospital system in my area that...

    Three 12's or 4 10's?

    WannaBNursey replied to hakunamatata's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would kill to do 4 10's. I hate 12 hours shifts because, with the charting, they're not 12 hours! It's 13 or 14 hours (and I'm still talking CNA work!) If you don't really care about the difference...
