    Are sign-on bonuses a thing of the past?

    purple_rose_3 replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Nurses

    I received a $5,000 sign on bonus in Missouri in June of 2012. The terms were an ICU nurse with 5+ years experience. I got $2,500 my first paycheck and the additional $2,500 after a year of service.

    Help! Relocating to Columbus, Ohio!

    Thank you for the responses. We are actually in Columbus right now visiting and have driven through the Dublin and Worthington areas and they seem really nice! Are there any other areas you would recommend?

    Help! Relocating to Columbus, Ohio!

    purple_rose_3 posted a topic in Ohio

    We are relocating to Columbus in 2 months and this website is making me nervous. I am an experienced nurse with 4 years of cardiac and 2 years of ICU (my current job), but all these people posting about not being able to find jobs are making me nervous! I have a BSN with ACLS, PALS, TNCC, and of course BLS certifications. I feel kind of crazy thinking about having to start applying for jobs already! Does anyone recommend a good hospital or area to live in? We are pretty flexible about where we are willing to live as long as it's about 30 minutes from Columbus or closer. I've searched a lot of the hospitals and there are numerous jobs available! I'm having a hard time narrowing down which jobs/hospitals to apply at. Thanks for taking the time to help!

    Good jobs for Nursing Students

    purple_rose_3 replied to feralnostalgia's topic in Students

    If you're interested in Cardiac Nursing then a monitor tech (monitoring heart rhythms) would look good on your resume.

    Can a CNA apply as a medical assistant?

    purple_rose_3 replied to LittleJ's topic in Nurses

    You need to check with your BON. In my state you have to work as a CNA for 6 months and get a reference from your current boss to even enter the class. The CMA class I think is about the same length of time as the CNA.

    Is nursing less stressful for people with no kids and no life to begin with?

    purple_rose_3 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Nurses

    I was in your same situation when I was in nursing school. And to answer your question....yes, it seems like my life was a lot easier and simpler than most of my classmates.

    Re-assement of Pain scores on Flow sheets

    purple_rose_3 replied to salindis's topic in Nurses

    We put the pain flowsheets with the MAR's and that has increased our compliance. Kind of hard to miss it when you pass med's multiple times throughout the day.
