[h=1]A New Accelerated BSN Program launched to Meet Market Demand[/h]This program is "Designed for individuals who already hold a bachelor's degree in another field, the ABSN aims to produce future nursing leaders.... The degree program ...

I would echo the comments above, unless you have a burning desire to get your nursing license back. With your experience you could be hired in Case Management, Social Work, Preventive Health. You might also want to look into Community Resource servi...

If I am reading this post and the ones posted since right, you have spent all 21 years at least in this facility, and possibly in this same unit, right? If so, your skill set is very defined by that unit and that role. (Not to be crass, but some empl...

"They are going to be short staffed already and if I don't work that day, it will be even worse. I suppose it is tacky for me to try and get it off since they are lacking on staffing and it will be hard to get people to pick up." Not your problem...t...

I went back to school at 30 yrs old., Married, with 3 yr old twins. Was it is easy no....doable yes. I did my pre-regs part time the first year until my twins in school full time. I graduated 4.5 years later with my BSN. Do not regret it and only wis...

I used to work for United. As stated above be prepared to be very micromanaged; they track everything. They are highly organized, hence the tracking, but you will learn a LOT. So I guess it is a trade off. Trying to take time off is a bear. Their sch...

Then continued to confide in the charge nurse that I was "spreading gossip" and "bullying" him when each time he has asked me to stop joking; I have. In our meeting the manager and supervisor, I felt, swept this incident under the rug by not address...

They have to start somewhere. Putting together a commission to what they can do, before they do it makes sense. Clearly what we are doing now is not working, as the problem has exploded through out the nation.

Or better still try to support the struggling nurse to help her be productive and a part of the team.

I find this topic interesting. As a nurse I absolutely see the value of Wellness programs, and preventative medicine. If we are able to coach or give incentives to enhance wellness then intuitively it seems we will save money and people's health dow...

Yes but aren't the taxes a bear.....the high state tax of Mass to work there and then the high housing tax in NH.

As they say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. You have already been accepted to a program go for it. And besides even if you got accepted into the other program you would not graduate for an additional 1.5 years later. The average nurse sa...

Hmm FT staff position that offers benefits? The ACA has rules around using the insurance at your work, if you qualify for it..and FT perm would qualify.

Interesting, it must be the part of the country you are in. Up here bilingual nets a few bucks an hour extra pay.

Humana may be considering a sale to Cigna. Definitely something to keep an eye on. Humana Considers Sale of Company - WSJ

WOW what a story!!! What stamina!

Totally agree ^^. I was just going to post the same thing. I would add.....how often is your group in serviced on proper technique for sticks etc. That is certainly a class she, and maybe others could benefit from. It might be worth suggesting to t...

That seems low for he Dallas area. Just did a quick salary search on indeed and it gives an average pay rate of $22.00 for LVN.

No I meant what I said, If someone has a track record of A's in their courses, where is the incentive to cheat? And it really would be beyond belief for someone to cheat in everyone of their classes and get away with it. As to her choice to cheat, y...

Feeling stupid should not be your problem...it looks like your issue has to do with working two jobs and not being able to get some decent sleep before taking the boards. If your end game is to be a nurse you have to take it seriously, take some time...

Of course they do. And the better employee you are the more they will take your candidate seriously.

Well here it goes....Flame away folks. My disclaimer is I graduated with a 3.94 GPA and was valedictorian of my class. I have read through all of the posts and the first thing that strikes me is her GPA...a 3.92. Someone does not end up with that h...

A was going to post a comment saying "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." but I digress. Good luck on the more rural job...hopefully you will get an offer soon.

Almost 40...is she also a new grad and at the same hospital? Agree with others, she could be including her night diff.

You have no bedside nursing experience and would be competing with new grads....who they may see will take a lower rate of start pay than you with your 6 yrs of experience. And, yes the hospitals want experienced nurses...but it also needs to be the ...
