So if someone is looking to do travel nursing how soon do you get a license for a state if you have no idea what state you will be in first?

Ok hearing this side of it is new. I have heard all really good stuff and nothing remotely close to this. Thats why I am researching this whole idea.

I am researching travel nursing and am pretty sure that I will be doing it soon. I am trying to get educated on housing and taxes. I am looking into licensing and deciding on which agencies are good. Im pretty excited about it and nervous too. Glad there is some where to come to read and research!!

Good for you and Im glad it worked out. I attend a nursing program in Ohio and had no problem transferring any of classes, they took every single credit that I had from the community colleges as well as from Breckenridge. So nothing is ever impossible you just have to keep trying and seeking out what you want.

Just to give a little advice.....I agree to use the HESI study guide for all of the sections along with another book to study A/P. Wishing you the best in your studies and entry into nursing school.

Oh ok.....Are the weekly exams from the book and power points? There were some horrible reviews on rate my professor. The first week seems heavy.

How did it go? I have been trying to find information about this class and no luck at all.

Has anyone taken nutrition here?

You are more than welcome! Mostly all of my classmates are working as an RN and are all back in school. Glad you were able to transition to another school.

Congrats girl you made it happen!! Excited for you.

Did you guys ever get into the facebook group?

You should look into Ohio University. Congrats on graduating and don't worry so much about the next level. Just complete where you are now and enjoy it.

Just search Ohio University and it should come up but its there I'm in it.

We had several new nurses in orientation who got hired for the ER, so I would say go for it if you believe that you can learn it and do it. Don't be afraid to try what you want to do......

Excel is used for staff scheduling assignments, Word is used for creating letters to go out to staff and also for meeting notes. I really don't get why they create assignments like this, its sort of ridiculous.

Someone told me 25 plus shift pay for nights but its probably between 25-26/hr

I wish you the best!! You probably won't get any comments on here so I would suggest chatting with people on the OU site through facebook. I always get great info on there. I start in Feb with NUR 4510 so I cant wait to get started.

When you get it, please utilize it to its fullest! I cant tell you how helpful it was omg!!

Or you can just look up 35 page study guide and it comes up.

Purchase? I didn't purchase it but it was free on All Nurses.

I will be waiting to see what books you post as well, getting ready to start Neuroscience unit real soon. Thanks and good luck to you finishing up orientation.

I recently got hired for a Neuroscience unit and Im so excited!! You make it sound so interesting lolol thanks for the reply. QUOTE=HouTx;8694607]I am biased. I LOVE Neuro... began my career as a new grad in NeuroTrauma ICU. I love the 'exactness' of neuro; it's so logical. Direct connections between damage/harm and subsequent deficits. I also really liked the patient population. It was primarily 18-35 year old males that tend to adhere to the "hey Ya'll, watch this" type of reasoning after consuming adult beverages. Spinal injuries are so complex and challenging. Frontal Lobe damage can result in some real hair-raising behaviors. Overall, I really liked the camaraderie between docs, nurses, and therapists - lots of teamwork and collaboration.

Yea I was looking for some info as well due to getting ready to start a new position and nothing as of yet. Hopefully you will get some answers or what you could try is calling some Neuro unit managers about shadowing, which would yield some really good first hand experience.

Um you may not want to try this because its really risky!! People have been charged for the exam again and found out they passed the first time so be very careful and use a different strategy. I also heard on here that someone used an invalid exp date for the credit card and was still charged for the exam. Be wise in choosing!!!!!!

Yea that 35 page study guide on here is that deal................I used it to study for NCLEX and the mnemonics were outstanding for memorization.
