Is anyone applying or have submitted an application for the current cohort? The clinical narrative is taking me awhile. Share your thoughts below.

He probably will. The lazy/awful ones usually stay, or worst, promoted. The good ones tend to leave, case in point, the OP. Search the username NOADLS, he finds no qualms about hiding the fact that he does not clean poop or help with any ADLs. I thin...

Hello Minnesotans! I'm considering a possible move to MN. I will be strictly looking into CC positions. I will have 1-year of Stepdown experience when I start applying, and I will be looking into positions at Mayo, Hennepin, and North Memorial. It se...

LOL, how much experience are you looking for? 5? 10? 15? No offense, 3 years is PLENTY to be charge nurse, assuming everything else is equal (i.e., said individual isn't a complete idiot). A charge nurse is more of a point person or a resource nurse,...

I don't really know what you mean by "I can't keep up with my relaxed hair" (Is it too expensive? Don't feel like washing it every 4-5 days? Is it fragile and breaking and you want to manipulate it less so it can grow and get stronger?), but anyways ...

Your original post about the OP was disgusting. If you think your experience qualifies you to speak to people in that manner, clearly you still have some more learning to do.

Wow, that was one of the most immature post I've read in a while. roser13 "Your ID is correct. Obviously your life experience is lacking"

I'm assuming you mean relocation assistance? If so, the answer is yes.

I am from NJ, I'm glad I'll be in good in company :).

Thanks Flyonn! Congrats to you too, I'm going to be in the CTICU as well. I'm trying to decide if I should live in a temple or a nearby city were the social scene is more forgiving, but I don't want to deal with too much traffic. I like temple, but i...

Offers are out. What is everyone doing in terms of housing?

Did you have your MN license before applying?

I applied for the ICU internship. The director sent me an e-mail asking 4 basic questions about the 2 year commitment, which unit I preferred, why Scott&White, and my expectations for the program. If selected for an interview, interviews will be ...

They seem to be blaming the nurse's inexperience, certifications, and etc., now that another nurse in the same hospital has contracted the disease, I wonder if they will remain on the same trajectory? Hopefully they realize that most hospitals are no...

Wow, sorry about your mom . As someone who has done a similar cost benefit analysis of pursuing CRNA, I'm learning one thing about life, it's not easy. Please know, if you do decide to become an AA, you will encounter challenges there, albeit differe...

Hi, thanks for the reply Do you like MN? Is the cost of living reasonable?

anyone?

Hey guys, GL w/ your interviews. I didn't read any of the previous posts but I interviewed last year and was offered a position in CC. I declined solely b/c of the pay (Vanderbilt is an absolute beauty, and the staff and different level of employees ...

They are also changing the MCAT in 2015. So if you do go that route look into the new psychology/sociology section of the test, and consider taking those courses, if you have not done so already. Additionally the test will be more "biochemistry" int...

You clearly did non understand my post. Having a stance on something is one thing, but dismissing other people's behavior or actions as "hogwash" simply because it is not aligned with what you would do is silly. As someone who is a practicing Cathol...

Am I the only person that is absolutely sick of other people purporting THEIR world view as THE world view on allnurses?

Thanks for the clarification. I thought that I read somewhere that orientation was 9 months, hence why I was nervous about the contract. If the orientation is only 4 months and you sign the contract immediately after, the commitment is a little less ...

Wow Florida hospitals are that terrible that you are willing to even consider taking an $11 hourly pay cut? The answer should have been a resounding no. I'm interested in critical care, and I routinely see many residencies for CC in different Florida...

I'm not sure, but I would PM TWU80. He's in the ER residency at Parkland and I think he has previous experience. He's pretty active on this site. GL.

This is the biggest trepidation that I have. My CNS said the same thing about "not qualifying". Although my job pays for the certification and pays you extra for having it, the biggest motivating factor me is to simply land an ICU position. I'm also ...
