    So Cal new grad wanting to move to Phoenix area

    RainDreamer replied to nursgirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center and Maricopa Medical Center are a couple of big/busy hospitals that usually hire new grads in the central Phx area. I'd also suggest Banner Good Sam, but not...

    So Cal new grad wanting to move to Phoenix area

    RainDreamer replied to nursgirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Not too many hospitals in the valley are hiring nurses right now, especially new grads. But the fact that you're willing to work in any area, is a huge advantage for you. Even with the hiring...

    Charge nurse with less than a year RN experience???!!

    RainDreamer replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Nurse Management

    That's tough. I would seriously think about going up the chain of command and/or looking for another job. If a hospital is willing to put a nurse with no experience in a role like charge nurse, then...

    Charge nurse with less than a year RN experience???!!

    RainDreamer replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Sure she can develop skills. But she doesn't have the experience under her belt that a charge nurse needs. Experience is a must

    Charge nurse with less than a year RN experience???!!

    RainDreamer replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Nurse Management

    I was put in that same situation at my first job as a nurse. I had only been off orientation for about 3 months and they wanted to start training me to be charge. Yeah, I don't think so! Needless to...

    Do RN first assists get paid alot?

    RainDreamer replied to The Nebulizer!'s topic in Arizona Nursing

    What exactly is an RN First Assist? Are they employees of your hospital? Registry? We don't use those, but we usually have one or two nurses on call each shift. If we're called in, we get double...

    Managing O2 changes in preemie

    RainDreamer replied to twizzlers67's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Excellent post by LovetheNICU When I have a baby that does what you describe, the main thing I look at is how old the baby is. Is this a new 24 weeker? If it's a 24 weeker that is only days to a...

    banner layoffs

    RainDreamer replied to mzloco's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Are they making budget cuts at all? Or just laying people off? Banner has very competitive pay, great differentials (20% night shift), and double time for extra shifts. But none of that is being...

    "I hate babies."

    RainDreamer replied to babyNP.'s topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It's one thing to feel a certain way ..... whether you hate taking care of a certain type of patient. But to go into a NICU and say that out loud while other people can hear you? Very unprofessional....
