    Do nurses usually work 3 12-hour shifts a week for full pay?

    hope3456 replied to gentlerain's topic in General Nursing

    Even the rural areas are filling up and now can be picky enough to want only experienced BSNs. I am in Wyoming and my local rural hospital has hired new grads from various other states where they...

    There are alot of questionable practices that go on in LTCs. Often the managers prefer to look the other way because there are no easy fixes. Or they are very expensive - such as improving staffing...

    What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    hope3456 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why people can't get an ADN - start working - and then while they are working get into an online school and earn the BSN. That way they can pay as they go, and be gaining clinical...

    Is Banner Health hiring ADN new grads?

    hope3456 replied to vw74vw's topic in Arizona Nursing

    MARS: electronic or paper?

    hope3456 replied to hope3456's topic in Geriatric, LTC
