  1. Working schedule?

    BD-RN replied to Hbohn's topic in Travel

    I just signed my first contract, and I'm starting in a month. I was EASILY able to negotiate a couple stretches into my contract so I can take a planned trip and run a marathon I had signed up for....

  2. southern cali accelerated BSN

    BD-RN replied to Sophiamez's topic in California Nursing

    Don't limit yourself to California. I too am from the IE. The programs are so saturated here, you might be on a waitlist or it might take awhile to get in. I went to the East Coast for my ABSN...

  3. Double usage of saline flush? (flush and reconstitution of drugs)

    BD-RN replied to pineau's topic in Oncology

    I read the article, but it's not really convincing me it's unsafe. Yes, if the syringe remains unlabeled and leaves that RN's hands, a HUGE mistake could occur. Well, TWO things I was taught NEVER...

  4. Endorsement Delay?

    BD-RN posted a topic in California Nursing

    Is anyone having a problem getting their license endorsed from another state to CA? I submitted my application 4 weeks ago, and included a request for a temporary license, and nothing has happened. I...

  5. Advice on giving two weeks notice

    BD-RN replied to hyt5018's topic in California Nursing

    I was working nights at my last job so I rarely saw my manager; how would I personally hand her my notice? I did give her a heads up in person that I was considering relocating that would force me to...

  6. traveling nurse with horses....

    BD-RN replied to rntraveler2012's topic in Travel

    San Francisco Bay Area is VERY expensive to board. I lived there for 5 years in my early 20's, and wanted to bring my horse up from Southern California. Many of the boards with decent facilities...

  7. UNC & Duke ABSN- Spring 2014

    BD-RN replied to Rthom09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Former Blue Devil ABSN-er here (c/o 2010). I love reading all the excitement about interviews and attending the program! I actually still remember my Duke Days experience back in 2009. I had...

  8. Endorsement Delay?

    BD-RN replied to BD-RN's topic in California Nursing

    10 weeks (and many missed good travel contracts) later I officially as of yesterday am licensed in California. Sadly, without even any additional information needed from me! They are just THAT slow....

  9. First Contract, Confused with all the number crunching!

    BD-RN posted a topic in Travel

    I've been submitted for a contract at Keck USC Medical Center on their BMT Unit. This will be my first travel assignment, and while I've done my research, I am a bit confused with this "blended rate"...

  10. First Contract, Confused with all the number crunching!

    BD-RN replied to BD-RN's topic in Travel

    Thanks, that makes sense, except they seemed to have added the non taxed 35/day into that average hourly rate, where things seem to get hairy. But it seems like I shouldn't focus on the hourly and...

  11. Too close to the situation for comfort?

    BD-RN replied to JTinKY's topic in Oncology

    When I was new to BMT and on orientation I met an RN with an interesting background. She wasn't just a cancer survivor, but a BMT survivor. I don't know that she openly shared her experiences with...

  12. Transcripts and Endorsement

    BD-RN replied to RunawayN's topic in California Nursing

    I'm going through the same process currently and called a friend to ask. Yes, you need ALL transcripts. According to other threads if your transcript LISTS all your prereqs as transferred then you...

    BD-RN posted a topic in California Nursing

    I am finally relocating back home for awhile after living on the East Coast since I became a RN! I am moving from NYC, so I'm trying to figure out my budget; how much money I'll save, etc. I was...

  14. Average Salary in Murrieta/Temecula

    BD-RN replied to BD-RN's topic in California Nursing

    No, not a new grad, I have over 2 yrs experience. Right I'm aware of the difference between so. cal and the bay, I'm specifically asking for the Inland Valley; my home town in Murrieta, and I'm...

  15. Do I need a new specialty?

    BD-RN posted a topic in Oncology

    I moved to NYC 4 months ago, and started working on BMT, a big change from med/surg. I'm now so worried I'm not in the right specialty for me, and I'm feeling a little lost. I don't want to go back...

  16. New Grad with recent DUI; denied licensure

    BD-RN replied to nursingnerd25's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I am someone who before I went back to nursing school got arrested for a DUI. Lot's of people on here are saying never blow but actually if you refuse in CA you automatically lose your drivers...

  17. How to NOT interview for your RN/LPN job!

    BD-RN replied to musicianRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I actually disagree with many posters on here and agree with the manager regarding the makeup comment. Maybe my mother was old fashioned, and perhaps all my instructors throughout high school and...
