I work 3x12 days only. We do not rotate. No mandatory OT. If I work through my lunch break, I can clock out with a special code and get paid for that time. I can pick up OT if I want to, when census is high and unit needs coverage, but never mandator...

I don't know anything about Naples area. I am 1.5 hours North of Naples working at a large non-profit hospital. We used to see seasonal change in census but not as much any more here. I think tourism picked up and it is common to have patients who we...

Our unit circulates a sign sheet beginning of November. Each staff member including CNAs rates the holidays in the order of importance for them to get it off. For example, this year I wanted Thanksgiving off more than others, so it was my number one....

If you have a year to go, too far away to be projecting job opportunities. But sure do speak about your interest. Ask if they hire new grads, find out who the hire decisions people are. Stay in touch with people you met and ask them if you can use th...

I think it is mini infuser they are talking about. It just pushes med slowly

It depends on gpa of other applicants when you apply

At my hospital a lot of units post jobs AFTER the position was already filled just to make it official. If you know someone who already works in a hospital and can introduce you to a unit manager. They are not just looking for how much you know but a...

I am in RN- to-BSN program at a local community college. I pay around $1,150 each semester in tuition. The program is 4 semesters if you keep the pace they recommend.

At our facility we are have to go through medical records to get our own records and are not allowed to just access it on the computer.

How many credits per semester is that?

You need to go up a size. I did and it is so much better

My hospital reimburses tuition to the full time employees. It can be ASN or BSN in exchange for promissory note to work 18 months after the latest payment. They don't cover books or fees. So it is not 100% but better than nothing. You have to get A o...

Worked as CNA for a hospital the last year of nursing school. During last semester preceptorship got a job offer. They held the job for me. Graduated December 13,2013. Took NCLEX Jan 3,2014. Started my orientation Jan 6. Did not apply to any other jo...

We something new every day. Ice cream with toppings one day, pizza next, Jimmy Jones subs for lunch another, donuts and bagels from our floor pharmacist, a drawing for a Littmann stethoscope cardiology III for each shift (days and nights). Our hospit...

Ours was 80% without any rounding up. So if your average is 79.8%, too bad.

Or knowledge deficit

Something with body image should work

I am not in GA. I am in FL. You may want to search your school's website for nursing student handbook. It would have dress code, tattoos, piercings, hair, nails addressed. Or call and ask for one mailed to you. Out school required tattoos to be cover...

I personally would switch

I donated my uniform to our nursing student association. They give them to students who are on tight budgets. The shoes were all worn out. Trashed those and got myself a pair of nice ones for graduation.

I would def try to get a cna job. If you want to work at a hospital as a rn then get cna job at that hospital. You may have to work at a nursing facility to get experience as cna and then start at the hospital. Everyone in my class who worked as cnas...

You need to do live review course. Kaplan is very good.

They do not look st your gpa or if you failed a class. They look for a person who has the right attitude and work ethics. My manager said anybody can be trained but personality can't be changed.

See if you school would give credit for a clep test. I watched videos on Khan academy on algebra and then took the test. Total cost 85 bucks and got my algebra credit.

Our school only gave preference to cna from certain programs. Not any of those weekend 300 bucks courses. Plus you may want to check. After first semester of ADN or third semester of BSN you are eligible to sit for a cna exam. So our local hospital ...
