Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has a bunch of positions posted.

I wouldn't.

I know what you mean. I get frustrated with moms who freak out when their baby is in NICU for 2 days. I want to tell them to look around them.

Parents like you are the reason I'm a NICU nurse.

Which hospitals in Seattle have NICUs?

Portland

Which hospital(s)? Which agencies do they use? I haven't seen any postings for OR

Where are they? I'm stressin' out!

And that's why I can't wait to move to a new hospital!

Sterile or clean?

My husband works from home.

Messy drawers Babies left laying on skin probes from the previous shift Unneeded amount of blankets in the bed that are serving no purpose When people don't understand the concept that the medication tubing holds 1mL and they run a 1mL in over the prescribed rate (so it has now filled the tubing) and then run a flush over 5 minutes (which then pushes all the med in 5 min) Knocking on the incubator when a baby is apneic or desatting.

What is your hospital's procedure for changing IV bags and tubings for central lines?

I may be taking a job in SF through CCTC. What apartment buildings have you been placed in through them in SF?

I am considering traveling with one or the other. Can I have some pros/cons for each for those of you who have traveled with both?

I went to Downstate and we did have clinicals for community, but it was very flexible. We were given a list of dates to choose from for the semester and I think we only had to go 8 times. They were mostly health fairs and senior centers doing BP and glucose screening. It wasn't bad at all. For leadership, we had to arrange a preceptor in management ourselves and write journals about the experiences.

Hi, I am a new pre-nrusing student, and I still don't know too much about nursing, but this site has helped me so much. I have simple questions: 1-What exactly is per diem? Is it that you work only certain days in any hospital and you get paid for that shift only, no benefits nothing? Does it mean that technically you are not employees by that hospital? 2-What are per diem rates in Long Island / Queens hospitals right now? ANy other info about per diem would be appreciated Per diem is when you work for a hospital, but make your own schedule. Each hospital has different requirments as far as how many shifts/month, holidays/year, weekends/month you have to work. It is more flexible and the pay is better (I know it's $49 where I work in Brooklyn), but I'm sure it would be at least low $40s/hour in LI and Queens. The downsides are no benefits, no paid time off, and the risk of being canceled if you are not needed. Also, you need experience to be hired as per-diem.

My hospital (affiliated w/ NYP) pays $34/hour base salary and has education/certification/experience/night differentials, which can bring it up significantly. Per Diem pays $49/hr. Full time nurses work 13 shifts every four weeks, but you have five weeks vacation, about 10 personal days and 5 sick days.

I know American Mobile is 2200/month

Which is better? Why?

Yes, they do. Although, it makes no sense.

I don't think they do.

To all of you worrying about taking science classes at BI... Dr. Emmerich is really thorough and you really have to put time and effort into her class, but I have to say she is the greatest teacher I've ever had. You'll get through.

Yes. Basically I would consider any English-speaking country. Australia/NZ sound great. I've also heard that it is possible to go to Dubai. UK would be considered, but not at the top of my list. I am open to suggestions. If you know the names of any agencies that deal with this, please send me the names. Thanks :-)
