yes you qualify

ya, i noticed that the rn-bc is through the ancc which i THOUGHT was a big deal! i really loveee med surg and i want to get certified, i'm trying to make up my mind too. i've taken a practice test which just seemed like stuff i know from work or scho...

the above statement is true and scarey, because of this i no longer wish to work in a hospital.

djh, no one could have put it better than you did. i also worked in an office for several years and like you said, poor behavior was rare, it's creepy, suprising and VERY diappointing.

yep CNA's are great! I hope they understand sometimes we are at work 14 hours instead of 12 because we can not leave our documentation un-done, while they usually leave when their shift is over. that is why we ask them to go do the little stuff, not ...

what is that?

Merner where in michigan? what about ann arbor, u of m hospital? they are hiring.

it's snotty comments like the one the original poster started with, that made me answer "I don't know yet" any time a nurse would ask me what area I'd like to work in. they don't really want to know what area you want work in, they're just looking fo...

do you still have a choice to do the icu? if you do and that is what you want then do it. i wouldn't go over her head though, unless she were trying to fail you. don't rock the boat, soon enough you will be out of school and you wont have to deal wit...

"from time of a sx to fix a fracture about 3 days stay.." what does "sx" mean?

I've been offered a job at Davita (Dialysis) and Healthsouth Rehabilitation (post stroke or spine surgery for example, not an "Acute care facility" even though the pt's have major health problems) I have read on this website that if I want to get a j...

and for anyone who is wondering, yes, just like everyone else, I had to apply for, I don't know may 80 positions (nightmare). the three that called me back were ALL the ones where I somehow got the FAX or email of the HR or Director of Nursing, and a...

Angelrain, good luck with your interviews! I hope you get what you'd like! Will they pay you better in the hospital, or will the hospital pay better in the long run?

thx . I have picked Healthsouth. Next year my husband's contract work is up and we just may move, so I think all that you have mentioned makes Healthsouth sound great. Plus if we do not move I really like the bunch who works there and the insurance i...

i totally hear u, it's all paperwork

tampa hospitals 21.33= new grad, some hospitals even have it posted on the job listings. more if you've experience as an LPN

well renal is what i'm interested in, BUT i have not read good things about Davita. I have also seen firsthand the pt's who go to rehab and yes they are mighty complex, insurance kicks them out of the hospital fairly quick i have been told. and i hav...

well if you dont quit, thank goodness a lot of schools and hospitals put videos up on youtube- the proper way to draw blood etc etc etc. watch a video from a valid place before you do anything. and start looking for another job asap before something...

omg 250 resumes.........you are a tough cookie to move all that way. i wish you the very best, you deserve it! Thanks Lioh, i found it with your help :) they want three letters from teachers, sheesh, i tried to stay out of my teachers way and just do...

Thanks Lioh, i was on allchildrens website yesterday nd just now, i didnt find anything for the residency programs, i swear i have no idea how anyone finds these things out. i will have to use the Times, instead of the Net.

I passed on my 1st try. I took the Kaplan nclex class and did 90 % of the question bank questions that they have online. I also watched a lot of the lecture videos. i mostly watched the ones from the top 3 subject matter on the nclex (which you can g...

to SN 2012 see page one of this post for how i studied :)

I'm in the Tampabay Florida area, no job yet, very discouraged also. Hey Lioh, how did u hear about an ENT office job, I've mostly tried the hospital websites, and a few rehabs around me

sweetie, i am not allowed to say what was on my exam, BUT they TELL u that you have to know math problems, and what they tell you, IS on the exam :) but kaplan went over simple math THATS ALL YA NEED. the typical stuff like, dr wants this much and sh...

how did the rest of you do on your nclex, did you pass yet? i hope :)
