    Pay for parking?

    Never worked anyplace that had fee parking, but I've never worked in a metro city. But how about THIS::::: Anyone on board with the idea that hospitals should be able to charge PITA visitors and ED...
  2. If you love the facility and co-workers (same? different?) AND there's no reduction in benefit plans, etc (in other words, they haven't changed for the worse) than go ahead. If any of that is on the...
  3. And when it comes to VA, it's about as engulfed in paperwork as it

    265 q's = pass??

    Either you misunderstood your instructor, or your instructor is utterly clueless as to how this test works. Which is odd for someone who is supposed to be preparing students for

    does the pearson vue trick still work

    To both Roxy and CCalkins: In late August, the PVT changed. Or you could say the 'trick' as you knew it was eliminated; PearsonVue updated their software at that time. People attempting 'the trick'...

    Books for RN-Exam

    Hello, and welcome to AN! There is already a LOT of communication of a LOT of feelings on this topic; if you read the other threads posted on the same page you posted this one, you'll see that :)...

    Guys, this is difficult.

    A SATA question is merely an alternative-format question. They can be above passing standard or below it. Not sure why this myth keeps circulating that SATA questions= high level questions...?? At...

    Heplock to home hospice?

    Interesting how different this is than when I worked the floor (and discharged to home hospice) a few years back. At that time, the answer was an absolute, unequivocal NO. The thinking was that if...

    Things You See On Craigslist

    And with that bolding.....there you have it. Sediment always filters down to the bottom of the pan,
  10. My son thought that would be the caes for him, as well. He's graduating with 28 college credits, BUT the college he will be going to can afford to be selective enough as to allow transfer of exactly...

    Things You See On Craigslist

    Eh. If this is a legitimate request for someone to take the TEAS for him or her, it doesn't matter too much. If the nursing program is at least using a TEAS for admission, it's going to be able to...

    What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    linkedin views

    For a new grad, not really going to do much for you. Headhunters troll Linked In constantly; once you have the kind of experience that is in demand you could/should expect to be contacted by one of...

    Is nursing the best career to choose ?

    Some people go into nursing because they felt drawn to it, "called" if you will, and always knew they always wanted to be a nurse. And then discovered they hated it. Some people go into nursing...

    Labor & Delivery

    I'm guessing you are a foreign-born student in the US (because there IS no 'national nursing board'). Please don't misunderstand, I mean no offense, but is it *possible* that something in your...

    Labor & Delivery

    This is getting ridiculous. As a student, you should be able to expect a decent (if not extensive) course of clinical rotation concerning maternity, labor and delivery. If the college's plan of...
  17. Well, as Esme said, there IS something to consider. A BIG something. I have never heard of a nursing program that would allow a minor into a clinical setting; 18 is the minimum age for responsible...
  18. No biggie....just didn't want him/her to think that taking a VA job meant having to float around for a year before getting into the job they were hired for! I can only imagine... Guess for a new grad...
  19. Above is good information, but wanted to address this part. It is NOT the norm to rotate anyone (new or otherwise) through various departments before settling them somewhere. Perhaps you are...
  20. Kayla, you posted once on August 18th and once again on September 8th, with nothing in between. What have you found out so far? Have you read any of the posts that answered your query? I responded...

    I cringe at the thought of work

    You know, it's funny: couple of weeks ago someone posted something similar, how she hated nursing, was finally getting out in search of something else....and the thread was piled high with people...

    LPN before RN-BSN?

    Barring the recruiter's pretty talk....why would you NOT go straight for the BSN at this point, since you have almost completed the pre-requ requirements? If you really want to work as a nurse while...
  23. Well, if a majority of respondents felt that Seattle Grace Hospital most closely resembled the real world of nursing, clearly I'm in the wrong facility. I'll have to see if I can get me an application...
