I took an outpatient oncology job that pays close to $28/hour in Nashville. I have 4 years experience and BSN

When I see articles like this I'm always tempted to think about getting my DNP. Finishing MSN next year.......

I was accepted as well. Working on lining up a preceptor and finishing sending in all the required paperwork for clinicals. Excited to begin this next journey!

I'm researching that program and thinking of applying. I just graduated from their RN to BSN program in August and I really enjoyed it.

I have been a nurse almost 3 years now and just finished my RN to BSN program last month which I really enjoyed and did well in and am already thinking about returning to school next year for my master's degree. I am torn between leadership and FNP a...

Not really. Was looking on here to see if any one else had advice. I have heard its a good program though. I think a few nurses at my hospital went there for RN to BSN. What ADN program did you attend? And do you have a lot of general courses to take...

I will be starting next month as well. Only taking 2 classes for the first 7 week session. I am taking NURS 3191 & 3293 first

What is your nurse to patient ratio? usually 4 to 5 patients per nurse and a charge nurse with no patients on day shift only. Night shift has same ratio but charge has patients always. Do you have cna's all the time (do they get called off) Supposed ...

I work med/surg. Average is 4 to 5 patients per nurse. Have had bad nights where we did have to go to 6 or 7. Hopefully that will not happen again since our hospital is beefing up the PRN staff now

I work med/surg and we are supposed to start report at 6:45. Last week this nurse that is float pool( and every floor dreads when they learn she is coming to their floor that day) did not start report until 7:30. She basically told me nothing....as u...

I'm almost at the one year mark on a medical floor and couldn't imagine being anywhere else. Yes it can be very stressful some days but I really do enjoy my job.

I would die if 7 to 11 patient was the norm. I get stressed when I have 6 on my med/surg floor.

I would be ******! I get $2.70/ hour for nights, $1.50/hour for weekends and $1.50/hour for charge nurse. I need all the extra money I can get!

I work on the medical floor in a Georgia hospital and typical is starting with 4 to 5 patients. I have had to go to 6 patients a few times which is usually awful! I work nights but on days they at least have a charge with no patients. Also CNAs are s...

I have only been a nurse 9 months and they already have me filling in as charge. I work at night and we take a full team just like the other nurses. We make the assignments for our shift and the next night, check the crash cart, check med room humidi...

I will say that day shift on my floor usually is busier but they have a lot more help- usually 4 or 5 nurses plus a charge that does not take patients and 2-3 CNAs plus a unit secretary. Nights we usually have 4 or 5 nurses but our charge nurse alway...

As an ADN nurse, I got more clinical hours and have been told I seem to know more about what's going on than my BSN counterpart

What about working nights? I am a new grad...been working 4 months now on the medical floor and I LOVE my job. Typical patient load is 4-5 patients/nurse. And nights are a lot less stressful/busy

I work in Georgia and it has started to get slower. It really depends though. The last time I worked we had like 18 patients on our floor and we have like 33 beds. We are still getting pneumonia patients though and its June!

What about when I go to get report in the ED I hear: he was kicked out of the nursing home tonight for fighting other residents or when I walk in and they called off 2 nurses and 1 CNA which left 4 nurses and 1 CNA for 20 patient then we get 4 admiss...

We use Hospira Plum and at first I HATED them! But now that I have gotten used to it I really like them. I also like that the primary and piggyback bags can be at the same level and both can infuse at the same time.

I am a new grad and have been on the night shift for 4 months and I LOVE it! I wouldn't make the switch to days for anything! Yes our charge nurse has to take as many patients as the other nurses but it is so nice to have to deal with all the doctors...

I had a wonderful orientation. Been on my own for 2 months now and I think I am doing ok( 1 of the LPNs I work with said to me the other night that she thinks I am doing good). I work on a medical floor where our typical load is 4-5 although I have h...

So I am wandering how it is at other places but at our hospital, they didn't want the charge nurse to take pts anymore, but now they have changed it and said the night shift charge nurse will take pts now and it will just depend on the number of nurs...

I was always taught flush with 10 ml NS, waste 10, get 10 for blood draw and flush with 10 ml NS. And that is what I always do when I draw from Piccs or CL
