I'm wondering if any nurses here work on a psych unit in Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, or Staten Island. What are your nurse to pt ratios and do you work on an acute psych unit, geriatric psych, long term care? How many patients are on the unit...

I tried to do the questions for Saunder's review for the fluid and electrolyte chapter before reading the chapter. I did poorly because a lot of the questions were about how fluid and electrolytes effect the EKG readings (I didn't do well on any of ...

Dixielee, Can you please pm me with RN Network contact information in case I decide to travel with them? I want to have a supportive recruiter as it will be my first travel nursing assignment. Thanks :) Melissa

I know this is an old post, however I felt I should respond. How the nursing student responded to your request was completely unprofessional and uncalled for and I can completely understand your frustration as I have often heard similar comments fro...

Mary Jo, can you send me a private message? Thanks :)

Oh thanks, It just seems like a lot of trouble after all the other paperwork that is likely involved in travel nursing, as well as myself having to write the NCLEX to work in the usa and get licenced in New York. I'm wondering if I'm licenced in New...

Hi Fawn, I messaged you to find out more about your new travel nursing position. I forgot to to ask you what this exam is that you have to write. What does PBDS stand for? I didn't have to write an exam to work on an acute psychiatric unit in Cana...

Was the comment about the non-US nurse directed towards someone from outside North America? It wasn't mentioned in her post where she was from. I am from Canada and looking to go work in the USA with a year experience as an RN and a few months more...

Oh my... these are NOT good stories... I was thinking about going with them. Maybe I need to google on assignment...

What were their accommodations like? I heard that a lot of travel nursing agencies will have you private one bedroom apartments? I'm looking to do travel nursing (psychiatry) in new york city. I'm wondering which travel nursing company I should go...

I am also thinking about going on my first travel nursing assignment and am concerned that the staff nurses will dump on me as well. I hope you get a response because I am also interested in hearing about the experiences others have had travel nursi...

A very helpful post. I would definitely want to know what the nurse to patient ratio is,if I would have to work mandatory overtime, how many weekends I would need to work, if charting is on the computer or on paper, what my orientation would be like...

There is so much to think about before doing my first travel nursing assignment. This post was really helpful. Thanks so much :)

I'm currently living in Canada and I'm graduating with my BN in November. I am doing my senior practicum in Psychiatry and plan to work at the same teaching hospital here that I am doing my senior practicum at, which has an attached psychiatric hosp...

I haven't, but now I will! :) Thanks, you're great! I was looking at a rather large new york city map, and there was a little island with a foot bridge that says "manhattan psychiatric center". Have you heard anything about this place?

I found this post very helpful, thanks. I'm going to be graduating in six months with my BN and I am doing my senior practicum in psychiatry. Everyone keeps hounding me on going into medicine for senior practicum and a year or two thereafter. I ab...
