  1. $750 CA RN License??? No way!

    guest769224 replied to Kdm112990's topic in General Nursing

    This is good, I'm in favor of CA doing this. We should be hiring more nurses within our own country, not foreign nations. It will discourage some applicants from other

  2. Keiser (Wolford) CRNA 2019 Applicants

    guest769224 replied to CRNAdegSeeker's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Stop

  3. Hospitals paying for your stay?

    guest769224 replied to sillymu's topic in Nursing Career

    I got 5K relocation assistance as a new grad back in 2016. That was in the state of

  4. Best CVICU in las vegas?

    guest769224 replied to Rayray_RN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'd also add that Mountain View has a very good CVICU unit and high

  5. Best CVICU in las vegas?

    guest769224 replied to Rayray_RN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Both Summerlin and Sunrise have dedicated CVICU units. Both places treat their nurses well, from a general standpoint. Summerlin is mostly CABG's and valves. Sunrise does ECMO, and higher acuity...

  6. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    guest769224 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is just shy of $50,000/year being thrown at rental payments.

  7. Will my stats get me into school?

    guest769224 replied to CVRN931's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    How could someone possibly know this as an outside

  8. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    guest769224 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I had no idea that NP's were creating a threat to MD jobs, or actually effecting their pay. Competition, sure, in a way. Maybe that is naive of me. I wonder how common situations like these are,...

  9. Unsafe staffing with 4:1 ICU ratios 8:1 on floor.

    guest769224 replied to cmueller's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. A strong testament that upper management clearly values the almighty dollar over the safety of their patients. There's no other reason they'd mandate

  10. Travel nursing? Those with experience - how does it work?

    guest769224 replied to jaidon84's topic in Travel

    Have you made good income being a traveler? I have honestly thought about buying a Toyota Tacoma, long bed, and sleeping in there during assignments. Showering at a local gym or at the hospital and...

  11. Overtime?

    guest769224 replied to Reminisce's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Supposedly MDA's are being phased out more and more of the hospital setting I have heard? (Due to cost effectiveness). If so, that's great news for the CRNA field. My previous hospital I worked at did...

  12. How much did you/would you pay for BSN?

    guest769224 replied to NursingHopeful95's topic in California Nursing

    No, they do not have better critical thinking skills. That is an individual trait. Not something a degree confers. How silly. And yes, you didn't do any research, you pulled that comment out of thin...

  13. one week two RN jobs two states

    guest769224 replied to ellenp's topic in Travel

    Perfection why do you work in both states? I work in Las Vegas and know the local pay rates. They're pretty good. I keep wondering about getting another job in Cali too. How's it

  14. Got the dream job, not quite sure if I'm walking into failure

    guest769224 replied to AesthesiaSeeker's topic in Critical Care

    It's Mayo. They take care of their employees and the healthcare is world renowned. Probably the best job offer of bedside nursing someone could ever get. Just decide if it's worth it to you to move up...

  15. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    guest769224 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What do you mean by they are "ramping up"? Meaning they are churning out a ton of new graduates as

  16. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    guest769224 replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does anyone think the job prospects for ACNP's working inpatient are as concerning as the outpatient FNP jobs are? I haven't really read or heard of ACNP's having trouble finding jobs or battling low...

  17. As seen on TV

    guest769224 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I particularly enjoy Law and Order SVU, and every time someone ends up hospitalized, I have paid special attention to the monitoring they have. The display on the monitor will show about 10 different...

  18. When family fails the patient... it breaks my heart

    guest769224 replied to Kharma711's topic in Critical Care

    I've had similar situations as well. Sometimes, come to find out, there is a monetary incentive behind the family's motivation, and that's why they push to keep their loved one alive for so long....

  19. Ask a CRNA anything...

    guest769224 replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    The above statement suggests a change in requirements. Haven't seen or heard of any schools that have actually increased the required years of ICU experience. Sure, you're more competitive with...

  20. Ask a CRNA anything...

    guest769224 replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    Okay, that still doesn't validate the original claim that many require two years now and are making clinical requirements longer. That's conjecture. You originally stated that that a lot require two...

  21. Ask a CRNA anything...

    guest769224 replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    Tachymurse, you have misunderstood. I was not disputing the fact that more experience will indeed give one a competitive edge, rather, OP made a statement that "most schools" are supposedly making...

  22. New Grads in the ICU

    guest769224 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    Definitely true. I work now in an ICU that has very good pay with guaranteed annual raises, a pension (even for per diem), union protection, ratio adherence, and a supportive manager that will work...

  23. one week two RN jobs two states

    guest769224 replied to ellenp's topic in Travel

    I am looking to do this as well. Stack some shifts while working in California. I do have a coworker that lives in Texas. She does 6 shifts in a row and then flies back to Texas for about a week and...

  24. Send video tape to state boards

    guest769224 replied to Curious1234's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I highly doubt OP is a nurse. They sound more like a disgruntled family member or passerby. You heard a patient state they can't breathe, but instead of helping or assessing the patient, you decide to...

  25. St. Rose Siena or UMC

    guest769224 replied to Minimalist,RN,BSN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Could you be more
