  1. Methodist Dallas

    prosperouschick replied to CCRN86's topic in MICU, SICU

    Any update on the position with Methodist Dallas?? Did you end up taking the position, and if so, was it a good

  2. Travel assignment in Houston -- does this sound competitive?

    prosperouschick posted a topic in Travel

    I was offered a travel assignment on a tele unit for $25/hr as the effective pay rate plus $1200 a month for housing. Does this sound competitive? There are also not any guaranteed hours. I thought...

  3. Travel assignment in Houston -- does this sound competitive?

    prosperouschick replied to prosperouschick's topic in Travel

    NedRN, I was hoping to check indirectly with what other agencies are doing by talking to people on this forum. I'm sure that we are all not signed up with the same agencies, at least that would be...

  4. Travel assignment in Houston -- does this sound competitive?

    prosperouschick replied to prosperouschick's topic in Travel

    I am not looking to travel just for the money. However, I thought that travel nurses generally made an equivalent hourly rate to what a regular staff nurse would make in a given locale. I did not...

  5. Best housing near Keck USC Hospital

    prosperouschick replied to luelue60's topic in Travel

    Housing in LA can be a real challenge. Close to USC is actually not the nicer parts of LA. You may want to look for rooms for rent in Los Feliz, Silverlake or Glendale for starters. There are so many...

  6. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    prosperouschick replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    I would take the NCLEX pass rate into consideration, but definitely not use it as a deciding factor. If the state board does not have them on probation (which happens in some states if the NCLEX...

  7. So what would you do in this situation?

    prosperouschick replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with a few of the other posters that say to do the right thing. Essentially, there is a double standard where an employer can let you go at any time, and they expect you to give them a notice...

  8. New RN on a cardiac floor

    prosperouschick replied to 82Angie's topic in General Nursing

    So.... let me get this straight. You are recommending that instead of her talking to anyone for fear of seeming "impatient" or "backstabbing" that she should let her manager know that her schedule is...

  9. New RN on a cardiac floor

    prosperouschick replied to 82Angie's topic in General Nursing

    As a first step, you should talk to your preceptor, and then go and talk to your manager after that conversation. I would not be surprised if your preceptor did not respond, honestly, she sounds a...

  10. They asked if I had kids, what should I have said?

    prosperouschick replied to JenniferSews's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with island40. I would have politely ignored the question, and emphasized your ability to work PRN. It may very well be that the person interviewing you has had bad experiences with staff with...

  11. Is low census a problem at your hospital???

    prosperouschick posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I was just wondering if many hospitals are dealing with the issue of there being a low census. For the past month or two, someone (and sometimes even two of us) routinely has to go home from our unit...

  12. New grads over 30, are you having trouble getting interviews?

    prosperouschick replied to freeflowchi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with the above comment. I am over 30, used to work in HR before going into nursing, and I have a masters degree. I took the masters degree off my resume, although it will go on the...

  13. Lost

    prosperouschick replied to destiny1's topic in LPN to RN

    I absolutely recommend Saunders as a good study companion. I discovered this book during my second to last semester of nursing school and I wish I discovered it my first semester. I would recommend it...

  14. Moving to N.Carolina as a new grad from CA

    prosperouschick replied to sandrajinhong's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Definitely start your new grad job search as early as possible in NC. The recession has definitely made an impact on the availability of new grad nursing jobs. There are many new grads in the...

  15. Did you feel comfortable sharing your career goals of becoming a CRNA before nurse an

    prosperouschick posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would like to find out if current CRNAs felt comfortable expressing their career goals of becoming a CRNA when interviewing for ICU positions and/or while working in ICU with managers or co-workers....

  16. Did you feel comfortable sharing your career goals before CRNA with co-workers?

    prosperouschick posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would like to find out if current SRNAs felt comfortable expressing their career goals of becoming a CRNA when interviewing for ICU positions and/or while working in ICU with managers or co-workers....

  17. Orientation and Socialization into Nursing: What was it like for you?

    prosperouschick posted a topic in General Nursing

    I would be very interested in hearing what your orientation/socialization into nursing was like and how it impacted your nursing practice. I am interested in hearing from nurses at all different...

  18. Difference between Nurse Anesthesia School and Nursing School???

    prosperouschick posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just finished nursing school and I will begin working in the ICU in February with the ultimate goal of applying to nurse anesthesia school after about a year. I was hoping to hear from some nurse...

  19. hurst review

    prosperouschick replied to deemarie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To answer your question, I think that if you would like to have all the different systems and common illnesses associated with them reviewed with you by an instructor/lecturer then Hurst Review is for...

  20. hurst review

    prosperouschick replied to deemarie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not so sure about the last reply. Hurst Review says that you should know her material "without a doubt and without hesitation" before you take the NCLEX. And quite honestly, I would find it hard...

  21. Expect to feel AWFUL when you finish the NCLEX - but just know you probably passed

    prosperouschick posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am writing this thread after seeing so many other people feel exactly as I did when I finished the NCLEX. AWFUL.... I passed by the grace of God with somewhere between 75 and 80 questions (I am not...

  22. Has anyone used Morrison Media NCLEX Secrets to study with???

    prosperouschick replied to BarkyBryan1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did a combination of Hurst Review and Saunders. I did the Hurst Review online, which are actually online lectures and then I went and did the corresponding questions in the Saunders book. I also did...

  23. Want to just quit

    prosperouschick replied to joyfulone's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I agree... you technically do not have to give two weeks notice anywhere, however, you can be deemed ineligible for rehire if you don't give adequate notice which could definitely be a black mark in...

  24. Difference between Nurse Anesthesia School and Nursing School???

    prosperouschick replied to prosperouschick's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Can anyone even share how they adapted to Nurse Anesthesia school??? And maybe share what were the biggest differences in terms of studying for nurse anesthesia and even preparing for

  25. Advice on Charlotte, NC

    prosperouschick replied to zink333's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    No, there is not a difference when applying for a position with diploma. For someone with a bachelor's degree already, there is really little difference between getting an ASN or a diploma in nursing....
