    Critical care nurses must care for critically ill patients for a minimum of two years to be eligible for the CCRN certification exam offered by AACN. Where else would this be obtained outside the...
  5. What you are doing completely wrong

    How would that possibly help "roll in the dough"? I think charisma would be better suited. And your post in August states you made 150k last year working 52 hours per week. That's a big difference...
  6. FNP practicing as a Neonatal NP?

    I am bumping this thread. How could an FNP practice as an NNP when there is a rule that you must have 2 years NICU RN experience? I thought that was mandatory for admission. Can an FNP really do as...

    Since we are in the travel forum, I assume you are giving us this perspective from that of a travel nurse, but would you echo this same statement were I to ask if it could be applied to staff nurses...
  9. Does your ICU have CNA's?

    It only takes 30 seconds to turn, they can't be that swamped. Ask the charge nurse to help. Don't ruin your back by doing it
  10. Asheville NC. Family friendly, outdoor paradise. Pay is mid-upper 20's. Pay in all of the south and southeast sucks, which are the warm areas...what's the lowest pay you

  18. Cost of Nurse Residency Program

    This is not a good idea. You do not pay them for a nurse residency program. They pay YOU! That is how it's always been done. And during your residency, they should be orienting you to the unit and how...
  19. Find your Specialty Quiz

    I got Labor & Delivery nurse and Trauma nurse…LOL. I think I'd enjoy both
  20. Which is better experience for ICU?

    ER will give you an edge obtaining critical care experience. That will likely be more impressive than floor nursing. In the ER, sometimes you have to care for ICU patients. What better way to learn...
  21. Kicking out visitors during report
