  1. RN,BSN salary in UK, USA, Canada and Australia

    RunBabyRN replied to work77's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Here in California alone, starting salaries vary widely. I am a new grad, and I've seen hourly wages anywhere from $20-70. I think this question is far too broad for a simple answer. One...

    RunBabyRN replied to bcandygurl's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  3. Numbers on patient ratios

    RunBabyRN replied to guest769224's topic in California Nursing

    It said 1:6 for one year, then 1:5. 1:4 is more common, but occasionally you see 1:5 depending on acuity. Quote: 1:6 in medical-surgical units (reduced to 1:5 after thefirst year) and behavioral...

  4. Why I Love IV Nurses

    RunBabyRN replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to be an IV team nurse at a hospital. I do home infusions, and my patients all have impossible veins. I also have military medical experience. I am leaving my position with the home...

  6. How do you relax after a shift?

    RunBabyRN replied to TheNGTKingRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I run before work. That helps me maintain sanity through my shift. A little vino in the evening is nice, though! I hope to get a hot tub soon (I'm enjoying the one at my mom's while I'm staying...

  7. Licensure/Certification Abbreviation help!

    RunBabyRN replied to Swanks916's topic in General Nursing

  8. nursing theory

    RunBabyRN replied to ebyan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Can you be more specific with your question? If you do a Google search, you'll find a lot of theories out there. Some actually feel relevant, and being able to speak to them can behoove you in an...

  10. California RN License

    RunBabyRN replied to cl2121's topic in General Nursing

    Stay in touch with the place with the offer. You have no control over when results post, but harassing the BRN won't help. As long as they have everything they need, results will post soon. Mine...

  11. Limited Nursing Permit

    RunBabyRN replied to A_angela's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ask HR. Some places will let you work with an interim permit, some

  12. Don't know what to choose

    RunBabyRN replied to blueskies1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I totally agree. You'll be an internal candidate when you apply for a position in a more desirable

  13. Will EKG certification help?

    RunBabyRN replied to RNhere's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Any cert will help, but I wouldn't bother with EKG and then ACLS. Just go right with ACLS. There are interviews I've had only because I had ACLS. What do jobs in your area

  14. Job Offer Juggling

    RunBabyRN replied to bcandygurl's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Take the job offered, and if something better comes, take it. SNFs are used to high turnover. They won't like it, but oh

    RunBabyRN replied to NurseKarlyn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Keep applying. Any connections you've made over the years? See if anyone can offer you an in

  16. New Grad Jobs in Mountain Towns...Unrealistic?

    RunBabyRN replied to cwest2's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Agreed- you need to be very flexible. I applied to position in the Tahoe basin, for example (I used to live in Tahoe), and they just don't hire new

  17. Hospice jobs for new grads

    RunBabyRN replied to exhaustedohio's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In CA, you are required to have a year of RN experience to get into hospice. This bit me in the butt- the managers wanted to offer me the job, but the recruiter wouldn't let

    RunBabyRN replied to just1guy93's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I hope it went well! I have a couple of friends who are RNs there, and they love it!

  19. Interview Advice!!

    RunBabyRN replied to alaber's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree about having an answer to the question, "Why peds?" or whatever specific unit. I have had that in almost every interview. Review your old clinical journals, logs, etc. Go over situations,...

  20. interview skills

    RunBabyRN replied to nathuladula's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just like we won't do homework for students, I don't think we should be answering questions like this FOR you. What are YOUR thoughts on these questions? Everyone's experience varies. Yes, you are...

  21. Soon to be new grad, need help with resume please!

    RunBabyRN replied to Nickc512's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ditch the objective. Your objective is to find a RN job. Everyone knows that. :) You want the job you're applying for. Got it. For your clinicals, I would post the hospital, unit and amount of...

  22. What should a new grad resume look like before actually graduating?

    RunBabyRN replied to JasonKa's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You have two places to detail this in very different ways: your resume and your cover letter. The cover letter is the place for all of the warm and fuzzy stuff- go into how you have contributed to a...

  23. Estimating Lochia

    RunBabyRN replied to blossom856's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "Standardized" makes this sound more objective than subjective, when in reality, it's VERY subjective. Unfortunately, it's not one of those, "One inch spot per hour is scant, 3 inches is light" etc....

  24. Nursing Diagnosis Newborn

    RunBabyRN replied to SueSNACC's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you researched O2 saturations on newborns? How long after birth were these the O2 saturations? Were they preductal or postductal? For the first 10 minutes post-birth, O2 sat is below that of...
