  1. Teaching continuing edu

    Can a nurse teach skills as a business? Like perioperative techniques, sterile processing and CNA?
  2. Concierge

    Sure.
  3. Foot Care Nursing Business

    I recently started a foot care business, but things have been slow to start. I'm in a rural area. I'm not sure if that plays a role.
  4. Concierge

    Hello, I have opened one in my area and things have been slow to start. Not utilizing insurance and marketing is a barrier.
  5. Finding a nurse to travel with.

    Hello, I have already signed my first contract but I've thought of this also to pay my mortgage off faster. I wouldn't be available until August. Seattle the only area you interested in?
  6. Roller board vs slider

    I am so glad you are discussing this. I work at a facility that uses sliders. These are not slider boards like some others are posting. It has nothing hard in it. I agree that the majority of problems come when the patient is over 150lbs. I also...
  7. Recently I have relocated to a new city and started a full-time job. I've needed extra money, so I've been interviewing for multiple PRN positions. The last interview I went on went well and was offered a job on the spot and they wanted me to compl...
  8. West Coast University in Dallas,Texas

    I didn't go here personally, but a close friend of mine knows a few people who went here, graduated and working where they wanted to. Only complaint, was pricing. No experience RN makes around $23 to $25/hr around DFW. If any of that helps...
  9. New Grad Operating Room or Ideal Image

    If you're interested in the OR, I'd say choose it because once you learn it you can make that or more.
  10. **POLL** New 1st Year RN Salary

    1. Louisiana 2. $26.50 OR (get diff. Forgot exactly what) 3. New grad 4. PRN med/surg tele 5. $37.00 + diff
  11. Compare OR to Cath Lab

    Cath lab has procedures they do which are usually cardiac or PVD in nature. There is way more X-ray with cath lab and the procedures are limited. OR has more variety. They are similar, but very different at the same time.
  12. That plan sounds so expensive! One needs to be omitted I think. If you want a BA in psych, just leave the at ADN out. If you want the ADN, leave the BA in psych out. I see this post and see debt before i can even think of anything else. Ijs
  13. Ortho floor nurse or OR Nurse?

    I am a new grad OR nurse who just secured a second job PRN med-surg.
  14. Stress, and a new grad.

    First, congratulations on graduating from nursing school and passing NCLEX. I have OR experience so I know that it is it's own world entirely. I was a surgical tech for 14 years before graduating in May and becoming an OR nurse. I relocated to an...
  15. Hello, I have recently graduated nursing school and soon start my job as a OR nurse. The facility I will be working for does not have a OR intern program, but are willing to train me since I've been a scrub tech for 14 years. Do you think I can get a...
  16. I took the NCLEX almost a week ago, and I must say it was the worst day ever. I used Hurst review, NCSBN, evolve questions and more. However, nothing prepares you for this test. There are so many versions of the test that's why you here so many ...
  17. Failed the nclex, need help

    Just pick yourself up and continue studying. There are no magic resources out here, I would suggest expand your resource list to work on different styles. I took the test on the 15th and it's a hard test, I thought for sure I failed it. I don't eve...
  18. I am preparing to take my NCLEX and I have been reading the post about people needing to take the test multiple times. I made good grades throughout nursing school and I study daily. I am wondering for the people who take the multiple times, how we...
  19. People who have taken NCLEX, I have a question...

    Thank you for sharing. This was the answer to my question.
  20. Lonestar 2015 fall hopefuls

    Wow! Seriously? They gave us two different ones. We didn't have a boot camp. Maybe that's when you will get it. But, that sucks if it's only a few days before school starts. Maybe they will only make you get the ones you need to start with. The lis...
  21. Lonestar 2015 fall hopefuls

    They will register you for classes. You won't get book list until orientation. Put about $900 up to buy the 18 books you will need.
  22. People who have taken NCLEX, I have a question...

    Nobody asked you!!! If my question didn't help you, keep moving! My question will help me if I get the right answer. You must didn't pass. Keep it moving. Thank you!
  23. People who have taken NCLEX, I have a question...

    Thanks. I understand and I'm prepping myself for the big day. I was just curious how many extremely dedicated students still come up short on NCLEX? If you don't give 100%, then you can't blame anyone but yourself.
  24. Lonestar 2015 fall hopefuls

    I am selling all my books for NH for $500 if anyone is interested!
