I'm all set to start November 1st as well. I was bummed that I didn't get "accepted" until 9/16- so they wouldn't let me start October 1st. Oh well, I have 42 c.u.s to complete, hoping to do it in 6 months or less but would settle for 9 months. Good luck to everyone!!
If the starting salary is still around 21/hour, that is disgusting. I started there in June 2005 at 20.50/hour. Albany area hospitals are abusive with their nurse pay- even after the lawsuit.
i dont see d/c'ing the IS due to knots. THis can happen with any injection. It is important to rotate sites.. getting an injection in one spot every few months (by rotating) shouldn't be a problem.
