    Relocating

    hope3456 replied to NICUMomma's topic in Colorado

    I left Fort Collins 8 years ago for better job opportunities. In general Larimer county is a fairly choice place to live/work and it can be competitive - be prepared to expand your job search to surrounding locales (cheyenne, greeley, denver). An...

    Wyoming State Hospital

    hope3456 replied to CAnurse07's topic in Wyoming

    Not sure about WSH but the other state facility - Wyoming Life Resource Center in Lander - is extensively advertising all over the region for nurses (and other positions) right now. Avoid them at all costs. I'll bet they have had over 100% turnove...

    I live near a Reservation. i have checked into IHS jobs and they seem to want RNs that have L/D experience. I applied with them and never heard back (i dont have l/d experience). There is also indian preference for those positions. I personal...

    Wife is an RN, Can't find job in Las Vegas

    hope3456 replied to tschaefer's topic in Nevada

    Do yourself a favor and get a year of experience in MN before trying to relocate to LV. It could be very difficult for you to get into a hospital job as a new grad especially since you don't have the "local" advantage of having done clinicals there,...

    Utah RN pay, Salt Lake City area

    hope3456 replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Utah

    Can anyone speak of the market conditions for nurses in the southern part of the state - specifically St George? Are they any different than SLC?

    Paper charting in acute care

    hope3456 replied to sjalv's topic in Nursing

    Rocking in the same boat, friend. I work in a facility that still uses paper MARS and an outdated computer program for charting. I can't believe it's still legal.

    Nothing like reviving a 3 year old thread but I'm really struggling with finding childcare for 9 and 5 year olds and wondering about how to get them into extracurricular activities when I do not have a set schedule.

    If given the opportunity to gain the right experience they can be prepared for about anything. RNs and BSNs run into the same problem - it's not all about education.
  9. hope3456
    My employer could care less if I have a BSN. My manager does not have hers. I think it will depend a lot on your geographic location as to what employers requirements will be, as has been stated before in this thread. Educational "requirements...

    Wyoming Medical Center's 2015 GN residency program

    hope3456 replied to nevermind1503's topic in Wyoming

    I believe the OP is referring to Wyoming Medical Center in Casper.

    Moving to Another Area - New Grad

    hope3456 replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Nursing

    Post your resume online. Recruiters often will direct you to the underserved critical access hospitals in rural areas.

    hope3456 replied to KyleC's topic in Disabilities

    Our facility is going to be getting a software system called therap. I've not used it yet but hear that it was specifically designed for ID/DD facilities.

    hope3456 replied to swimmingfever00's topic in Disabilities

    Are you not able to request PRN medication (for example, lorazepam)for the clients when they are having behaviors? How many clients are you caring for at one time?

    Front Range Community College

    hope3456 replied to Eliza123's topic in Colorado

    I graduated from F RCC 10 years ago but have since left CO. I doubt FRCC is any better or worse than any other community college ADN program. I passed the NCLEx with no problem but felt I did not get the best clinical experiences. I think the prob...

    Quit great job to stay home with baby?

    hope3456 replied to Sangrita RN's topic in General Career

    Kindle ironic that a company that is in the business of promoting maternal health cannot/will not do so for their own employee.
