  1. FNP Preceptor Phoenix Area needed

    Please email me at [email protected] if you still need a phoenix preceptor urgently. I may know someone that can help !
  2. Do we have no rights?

    What are our rights as grad students when the school messes up? I have been playing catch up all semester due to being blocked out of my online courses at the start of the semester for some "unknown" reason that was not my fault. I was also majorly d...
  3. Do we have no rights?

    Yes I have tried to get them to understand how the schools errors have caused issues.. They simply do not care
  4. University of South Alabama FNP Spring 2017

    The letter was in the mail when I got home from work yesterday. I was accepted!
  5. Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

  7. Good dialysis travel companies

    I am about to take my first Dialysis travel position. I have talked to lots of travlers and called lots of companies. Foundation Medical Staffing is a company I trust and many others do as well. They linked me with a permanent position in the past...
  8. Too slow for fast pace job?

    It just takes a while to get into the flow of the unit. 2 weeks is very little time to make such a harsh judgment about your capabilities. Once u get to know the patients and schedules better you will be able to plan ahead for the busy turnover.
  9. Acute HD units also doing PD

    I believe it is pretty common. This is what the acute programs do in my area. Often the patients primary nurse can do some trouble shooting by calling the 1800 number on the machine and most patients know how to operate the cycler on their own.
  10. Torn between Dialysis and med/surg for my 1st RN job

    There is no right or wrong answer to this. I did 6 months of med surg and hated every second of it before I switched to dialysis. If you start in a dialysis clinic you will be on your feet all day long non stop so I don't think that it's any less ph...
  11. Any thoughts on Kindred Hospital?

    Ive Heard Those Same Negative Things. I Have Never Been A Kindred Employee, But Ive Done Dialysis Treatments At Kindred. None Of The Dialysis Nurses Liked GoingThere Because If You Or The Patient Needed Something You Would Not Be Able To Find Help.
  12. new grad dialysis position

    I Don't Think That Its Harmful. I Find That There Is A Good Deal Of Respect For The Skills And Knowledge That Dialysis Nurses Have. I Have Heard ICU Managers Say That They Would Welcome Dialysis Nurses Into ICU Position AnyTime.
  13. new grad dialysis position

    Acute Dialysis Offers A Lot Of Independence. I Enjoy It MoreThen Any Other Nursing I have Done. You Have To Like Needles And BeAble To Deal With Blood. Be Ok Making Many DecOnisions ON Your Own. You Would Learn A Lot In The Cardiac Program. I Gue...
  14. Try Something Different..I Hated Med Surg.. I LOve Dialysis! ...Many Options!
  15. Saskatchewan RN JOBS

    My family is in Saskatchewan. I am in the States. Wanting to be with my family. My family ( one of my cousins is an RN) and friends in Canada tell me that Saskatchewan really needs nurses bad, but on this site it sounds like there is not much of a...
  16. Saskatchewan RN JOBS

    Hi Vhanesa... Thank you for the response... Good to Know!
  17. You could be picky and get just about any specialty you wanted in Bismarck
  18. New grad offered a job

    Getting a job in Bismarck, ND would be easy for you.. Fargo too.. These are safer places with more housing options and plenty of Nursing jobs... You could choose just about any specialty you are interested in and get the job
  19. Are there different options for nurses in Canada for non bedside positions? I love bedside nursing as it makes you feel very accomplished by the end of the shift but I also hate bedside nursing because flaws in the hospitals system cause errors to ha...
  20. I do have my bsn. My cousin works at a nursing home there. I could probably get a job there if needed as she said they need lots of help. I am very new. This isn't going to be easy. Hoping to take some classes to help me understand the differen...
  21. I figure it will be tricky. I wouldn't mind home care. I'm not expecting a office job, but hoping for no lifting or at least a lot less. I would probably enjoy psyc nursing.
  22. So this med surg position was the only thing I was offered after over a year of trying to get a nursing job. The timing was off because it was just a month after having a microdiscectomy. My doctor initially told me to not consider working there as...
  23. I worked as a CNA for a long time and that's probably a big part of where the problems are coming from. A lot of times on my floor they will have the CNAs stay home and the RNs do all cares. I don't mind doing that stuff but it is very hard on my ba...
  24. I try to have good body mechanics but there is no way of truly knowing which little movement is going to cause another herniated disc to impinge on my nerves once again. The other day I simply picked up a mans cane off the floor and my back was mise...
  25. We don't hire new nurses.

    I had the hardest time finding a nursing job and i eventually gave up. At that point i got the phone call from a hospital I applied for about a year prior, got the interview, got the job. It will happen eventually. Applying to a bunch of places an...
