Could you please let me know the area you’re in? I would like a shorter assignment (3-4weeks) and most agencies are looking for longer than that. Thank you.

Hi everyone , as an RN I am very much considering going to NYC to help out with this mess. I have only done HHC for 4 years so I don’t even know if they would be able to use me. I have no experience in ICU or ER. Is anyone else considering doing this ?

Hi thanks for your input. What area do you live in ?

Thank you everyone!!

The article just stated "financial challenges"

I have an interview for a potential employer for emergency room hospital position. This hospital laid off 60 nurses last year and the drive is 1.5 hours from my home. So a 3 hour total commute on days I would work if hired. Not sure if it would be worth it but my area is not hiring nurses with no experience. Opinions please. Thanks

A friend of mine who is a recruiter put my resume together. She has 10 yrs experience as a recruiter so I'm not worried about how my resume looks.

Thank you relocation is not an option. My whole family is here and not in the best health. Family always comes before everything IMO

Hi Everyone, I decided to come on here and read about how other nurses are in my position. I passed my boards 9/2014 and have applied to about 300 positions. I ended up going back to my job as an admin(great company) at a real estate firm in Boston. I am doing home care per diem which I like, but is not my first choice. So I have income, benefits and extra cash on the side along with personal patient care, I don't know if I should just stay at my job now and try moving up and continue with the per diem home care at this point. I 've pretty much given up on finding a job at a facility or hospital. I have my ADN. If I go back and get my BSN I will have more loans to pay on top of what I already have and still might not find a job!! Ridiculous.... Just a vent ..no negative responses please and thank you:)

Hi everyone - would anyone know if a relatively new nurse can work as an independent contractor ? Thanks

Thank you. I found it strange that many of the positions posted on Schoolspring say Bachelors degree preferred not required

Massachusetts

Hi Nurses- i am in Mass and just applied for a substitute nurse position. I have my ADN and no experience as a nurse.. I wanted to try school nursing and was wondering if you need experience to work as a full time school nurse? BSN? Did you get hired with just an ADN? Thanks!

Wanted to fill people in that have questions about checking the site before they get their unofficial results. Just sharing my experience -it is not a right or wrong opinion. After I took the boards they had just worked on the Pearson site so the "old trick" was gone.. I was brought to the CC page. After I put my info in , then I got the good pop up (little red triangle-already taken this exam etc.) I would recommend using a card that has no available credit . I did that in case I had to pay again. I would not have been able to at that time. That was 9/10/2014. Not sure if they changed anything again since then.

Ok this makes sense I was skeptical at first because I thought it was illegal but I understand now. Thank you !

Per diem

I was filling out paperwork at a home health agency I was hired for and it wasn't until then that hr went over the policies with me. She said that if documentation is not turned in by the time (midnight on Monday ) that they want it in your paycheck is held! Is this legal??? I understand they need this to bill but can they really do that??

Yes -it said results not available until the quick results were this morning. It changed to "status received"

This is for anyone who needs info and reassurance about the new PV page .. Took boards 9/10 logged in took me to credit card page within a few hours after test I thought I failed. Tried to repay again and it would NOT let me for two days. Then got results this am and I passed. People come on here saying it's not accurate don't go by that but really, when you think about it -why would it let you pay for a test you already passed??-it won't and it has let me pay immediately when I failed before. So if all these ppl are trying to pay and not being able to and getting "our records indicate ..." I think it's safe to say its a big fat PASS! Just sayin..

I highly recommend you use that 35 page study guide on this site just google it. Just took boards and it helped so much

35 page guide was awesome with helping me answer the questions. Keep getting good pop up so will see tomorrow if I passed!

I've seen ppl post that they used a card with $1 and they got the good message because they were not goin to be charged regardless

Thank you and congrats RN!!

Congrats! So you got cc page put info in and got red triangle with message that you can't reschedule??

I'm relieved but trying not to be to:( confident because this is my third attempt and I'm still traumatized from this test!!
