  1. wasting time?

    I'm pretty sure this is a "waste of time"..... ....having a hang nail and calling EMS to pick you up from McDonald's and then asking the ED provider for a script to the nail salon so it would be...
  2. Negotiating Salaries/wages in Nursing

    Thank you! Time to put my work ethic to the test and really show them that I'm a valuable employee to the team. I appreciate your advice!
  3. Negotiating Salaries/wages in Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I did ask, they did say no, but she wasn't offended, in the least. But glad I at least tried. Usually the hospital pays for certs, but I came in with well over 6, so I thought...
  4. Negotiating Salaries/wages in Nursing

    For esme and houtx...or anyone willing to answer- Do new grads have negotiation room? For example, if relocating, coming with CNA experience, certifications, etc? Any other experiences that are...

  6. Duke New Grad / SNIP 2013

    I believe all CNI (Clinical Nurse I)/new grads start at $20.47 at
  7. Why do Nurses tell students to go BSN??

    I just assume "rout" was a misspelling and ignored it...but then I found everything you said after "compair" just difficult to read because I couldn't get beyond the mistake. I understand that...
  8. Travel Nursing

    Also, if you do a little research you will find that each travel company has good as bad qualities, usually people are unwilling to post recruiter information as it is a violation of the terms of...
  9. Travel Nursing

    Why not post in the Travel Nursing forums (under specialties)? I believe you should try researching that subgroup first, as doing research first and coming up with specific questions will yield you...
  10. You didn't mention how long it has been since you graduate from your school - that could be the issue. If its more than 12 months, many employers feel that your skills aren't as sharp as someone who...
  11. Market is getting tough in Florida, even for local grads. Most if not all facilities require a graduate of an accredited nursing program as you are finding out. Perhaps check with the FBON and nurse...
  12. Advice: first GN job

    First hospital also doesn't have a "new grad" program. You basically just try to figure it out over 12 weeks or get fired. No wonder pay is attractive. They have to have some incentives.
  13. I have a verbal offer (pending paperwork, etc) for a job about an hour away from where I currently live. Pay is decent, differential amazing. I'd be making low $20's plus $12-15/hr in differentials...
  14. Advice: first GN job

    The first hospital is in Florida, the second is in North Carolina. Both ask questions about support systems and advised on penalties for leaving because of being "homesick" but luckily my family is...

  19. Advice: first GN job

    Thank you. I felt selfish for wanting to pursue the prestigious job when I have loans, sick family, etc. I know this job will be GREAT for my résumé and great to start my career with - that's what...
  20. Advice: first GN job

    Also - I'd like to point out that I am very grateful to even have one hospital offer, much less a possible second offer from a prestigious hospital. I know that times are hard for new grads right now,...
  21. New grad friendly parts of NC?

    I've now applied to Rex as well, but Duke has contacted me and wants to set up a Skype interview! :) Hopefully something will start working out
  22. New Grad BSN-RN, no work exp. NEED GUIDANCE!

    When applications require past work history, include your time schooling. For example, you would say "unemployed" and then list the dates you were in enrolled in school 08/2011-05/2013 or whatever and...
  23. PALS class

  24. CC as plan A or B?

    Well then yes, that drastically changes things. Lol Just be aware, that by 2015....things within the hospital can change. I'm from Florida and in a BSN program. A few friends were CNA/techs in the...
