  1. What are PCT/PCA pay rates in your area?

    lumosnox replied to btrflieye's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    My hospital starts at $11.21 plus $1.50 night and $1.75 weekend shift differential for a PCA. I might have switched the shift diffs but one is definitely $1.50 and the other $1.75. Overtime is time...

  2. I'm a BSN student and just got a PCA position at a Children's Hospital - tips?

    lumosnox posted a topic in Pediatric

    Hi! I just landed my dream job (as a nursing student) as a float pool PCA at a big, local Children's Hospital. I just finished my sophomore year and thus have not had peds yet. I love kids and...

  3. Students, do any of you not want a hospital job after graduation?

    lumosnox replied to Skips's topic in General Students

    I do want to do hospital nursing, at least for a bit, because I love specialties that are almost always hospital based. My true loves are peds hema/onc, PICU, and NICU. However I also really like...

  4. Is anyone else required to get STNA certification before beginning BSN?

    lumosnox posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A new requirement for the Fall 2012 class is that we all have to have an STNA certification. Is this normal? I was kind of miffed about it for awhile, because it's a lot of time and money for...

  5. APRNs should only be DNPs!

    lumosnox replied to Lovanurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I was honestly under the impression the DNP was made for more non-clinical roles. My mom will graduate with her DNP from a prestigious school in May. She works per diem clincially, but she is a full...

  6. Fall 2012 new nursing students roll call!!!

    lumosnox replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    Ahhh me! I haven't technically been accepted yet, but long story short honors students at my university are admitted automatically if they have above a 3.4 at the end of fall quarter. So as long as I...

  7. Im here to complain. you can too:)

    lumosnox replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    Ahhh, I'm with you! Finally someone else who despises bones/joints! I have a serious aversion to them, I'm so sorry you got stuck on an ortho floor! I will rue the day that happens to me. I went to...

  8. Im here to complain. you can too:)

    lumosnox replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I'm pre-nursing right now (will be in the nursing school in the fall) and can I just say, I can't believe people have white scrubs as uniforms?! I thought that didn't happen anymore! My school's are...

  9. Soon to start volunteering!!!

    lumosnox replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's awesome! In our med center, L&D volunteers typically stuff welcome packets and help nurses with clerical and random stuff, honestly. I am a snack pass volunteer at the med center and I...

  10. A&P 1 help needed!!

    lumosnox replied to MsFutureNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Anatomy and Physiology right now (2 different classes at my school). I find anatomy is pure memorization, I just sit there and lecture it out loud to myself (alone, haha) for hours. My school...

  11. A&P....love it or hate it?

    lumosnox replied to snow_bear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in A&P right now! Anatomy and physiology are two different classes at my school. I love them! Anatomy is interesting and easy to study for, because it's just memorization. Physiology is...

    That tip about the three fingers is MAGIC! I was sitting here trying to find my brachial artery forever, I did that and BAM it's right there! Thank you so
