    NP or PA

    Julius Seizure replied to Bteti20's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    To be fair, children's and adult cardiac surgery are miles apart in terms of what you need to know. That's why adult cardiac surgeons generally don't take care of adults with congenital heart defect...

    Being Treated Poorly by an RN

    Julius Seizure replied to msnikki05's topic in General Students

    HCA has something like 150 hospitals. It's insane. Sitting can be really boring. Occasionally nurses are pulled to be sitters for short times if a tech needs to come in from home and the one time I...

    Being Treated Poorly by an RN

    Julius Seizure replied to msnikki05's topic in General Students

    I thought Florida Hospital was the biggest? Maybe it changed. It is part of Adventist which I believe also happens to be possibly the largest health system. Though I'd rather work for Shands. Edit:...

    Bedpan Changing Question

    Julius Seizure replied to rnk1712's topic in General Students

    Thats how it is where I am as well. And the soiled utility rooms used to be locked with a key - a key that only the aides had. So you had to track down a busy aid and ask them for their key before...

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    Julius Seizure replied to ms.simone's topic in Texas Nursing

    This is worded strangely. Maybe this helps: There is a medical PICU, and also a trauma PICU each with about 24 beds. Also a CVICU with about 18 beds plus an additional cardiac step down unit (not sure...

    Refusing to give nursing pin to student!

    Julius Seizure replied to Haleiwa's topic in General Students

    If there was a disclosure that she signed says no refunds AND you only get the pin pending graduation, I would agree. I've purchased lots of things in my life that had a no refund policy. The...

    Questionable hourly rates for travel nurse

    Julius Seizure replied to monday2016's topic in Travel

    No, $650 a week wouldn't be good. But her checks won't be that. They will be more like $1550 a week. In travel nursing, you have to look at the total payment package, stipends and all. If she wants to...

    What is the difference between a NP and a PA?

    Julius Seizure replied to DNP2bLumi's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you are 31 and a CNA, both paths will take some time to complete successfully. Becoming a PA will require going to school for the science foundations - this will take a year or two if you don't...

    Tyler is somewhat near-ish Dallas. Dallas new grads generally make more than that, and at my hospital they get a significant raise at the 1 year mark. Sorry, I dont know exact numbers. However Texas...

    Refusing to give nursing pin to student!

    Julius Seizure replied to Haleiwa's topic in General Students

    I am in the "cant force her to donate" category. Its a little sticky, as the neither the company nor school should be on the hook for $100. And I understand why the school would not want her to have...
