Hey guys, I am getting ready to pursue my masters in informatics and am having a hard time deciding on a program. I was looking into Capella and Walden and have read some pretty negative reviews. I am just wondering where did you pursue your informat...

Hello All, I've recently made the decision to switch to psych nursing from med/tele/pcu. I am really excited to begin this new field, but I've only experienced psych during my mental health rotation in school 4 years ago. I'd like to know what the ty...

It is going well! I love it! I decided to start school to become a psych NP!

UPDATE: Thank you all for the comments! I appreciate all of the advice. The drive was a lot easier than I expected and it only took me 3 days. I did stop in Vegas to visit some friends (and gamble lol). It was a really easy drive though. I did lose s...

Does any one have tips for driving to California from the south? Best/safest states to stop in? I'll be driving alone for a very long distance the first time so I am a little nervous. I'm hoping to get there quickly.

It's not cost effective to ship my car.

Hey guys, has anyone ever worked with Westways Staffing? If so, please comment your experiences with them. Thanks!

Yea hourly is pretty low but $1425 non taxable...they seem good and offered me a position just hesitant to take it since I was submitted for days and got a night offer

Did you accept this position? Do you like it?

Hi guys I had a question. I'm having a hard time finding a days acute care position in Los Angeles. My recruiter offered a Kindred facility which to my understanding is an LTAC facility. I was wondering if employers would be hesitant to hire someone ...

Hi guys, I was just wondering what is the expected weekly take home after taxes for travel nurses in Georgia? Would love to hear what you guys have made taking assignments there. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys. I have a little dilemma that I was hoping to get advice on. I am an RN with 16 months experience. I was thinking about doing travel nursing in December, which would give me 1 1/2 years of experience. While I was waiting to get my California ...

Aloha Nurse2yu! How is HI? Would love to hear about your experience so far. My dream is travel/live in HI once I get my BSN! Thank you much. Hi! Hawaii has been great so far! I absolutely love it here. The hospital I am it is nice, but the unit is su...

I think at the hospital the ratios should be okay. It's unionized and for me going on a telemetry floor she stated the ratio is 1:4 so I think PCU would be 1:3. But you are right, I've never had a real interest in PCU or ICU but I'm interested in tra...

That's the same thing that I was thinking! Yea, hopefully if I go to HI i can get PCU or step-down experience. I don't think ICU would be for me though.

You are right. I do have a friend that said its ok for me to stay with her so I may do that for a while until I find something affordable.

Yes you are right. Plus taking the permanent position will give me more experience for when I do start traveling. I may take the HI position. Thanks for you input.

Thank you! I am going to take it. I'm just nervous since it is a permanent position, it is a big commitment, but I realize its a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I was thinking the same thing. I know it would be a great opportunity for me to gain experience. It's just the thought of relocating to HI is kinda making me nervous. But I know I could get tons of experience. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate i...

Finally I have received my California!!!! I sent in the application on 6/30 along with livescan finger prints. It was started 7/22. I've been playing the waiting game ever since. All in all, it took about 15 weeks from the time I mailed it and 12 we...

Yes I did. They said they have everything, they just need someone to review my transcripts which makes no sense to me, so I'm still waiting.

Just checked my license status and now it just says "open" and no longer has the "missing education history." I wonder how much longer it'll be until I get my license. I plan on calling BRN soon to get an update.

My timeline so far: May 15- Transcripts sent o BRN June 30 - Live scan fingerprints completed in CA and application/money order sent to BRN July 2 - Application received by BRN July 4 - Nursys verification sent July 22- Application opened by BRN July...
