  1. Got a PCA job in the ER

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I was just offered a PCA job in the ER at a level 1 trauma center. I am pretty excited about it! It is for a PRN position. I am a little worried that I won't be prepared when I actually get on the...

  2. Job Interview Tuesday - Night shift PRN or Part time

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I have a job interview on Tuesday for a job as a PCA in the ER. The head of HR said that she has PRN and part time (24 hrs/week) available night shifts. I have never had to work a night shift, and...

  3. Job Interview Tuesday - Night shift PRN or Part time

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Thanks for sharing! So you are saying that PRN positions are better for having more freedom when creating your schedule? That would be great because I will most likely only be able to work weekends....

  4. Sooooo much debt already

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN posted a topic in General Students

    I am already a little over $40,000 in debt after just two years of my bachelors nursing program. For this coming year I took out nearly $21,000 in loans to pay for school, books, and to get quite a...

  5. Sooooo much debt already

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    I agree that employers would like the 2nd option. It's just this semester coming up I will have 3 days of class (one being med/surg), 1 day of clinical, and one day of community service. If all of...

  6. Pharmacology

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to Graduation2016's topic in General Students

    Learn the class! That's what I did and everything else (side effects, nursing interventions) became easier to figure out. For example a drug that is in the adrenergic class stimulates the...

  7. Favorite Nursing Class

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    Patho! And surprisingly

  8. Preceptorship?

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to hkneurorn's topic in General Students

    We get to pick our top 3 choices out of different preceptorships the last semester of our program (ER, Med/surg, ICU, and others). It would give you a good item to put on your resume, and maybe the...

  9. Sooooo much debt already

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    As of right now, I don't pay for anything except for the gas in my car (which gets pretty expensive since my college is an hour away from me). But I don't have to worry about car payments or cell...

  10. Got called about a job

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty excited! I guess they have to go through some kind of confirmation with my college to get the payment accepted. But after that, I will have to work 1 year for every $3,000 that they offer...

  11. Got called about a job

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN posted a topic in General Students

    Today, I got called by a hospital offering me to come interview about a PCA position on a CVSU floor. It will be 24 hrs/week once school comes around again. I have never had a job while in nursing...

  12. Got called about a job

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    I shouldn't have a problem. I am very well organized and can prioritize my situations to fit my needs for the most part. I am just nervous because it will be my first job while in nursing school. I...

  13. Sooooo much debt already

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    That is a smart move too. I just went to my college because it is well known, and all of our clinicals are at the big city hospitals (which is always a plus, because clinical supervisors will...

  14. Sooooo much debt already

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    I agree with you! Cincinnati Children's is one of the best in the nation; #2 in pediatric oncology! I knew the numbers in those charts looked a little out of whack. Everyone that has graduated from...

  15. Sooooo much debt already

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    I have no problem living with my parents, and they don't either. I will be making my own payments once I

  16. Sooooo much debt already

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    The estimated salary above for the area of Cincinnati, I don't particularly agree with..almost everyone that I know that has graduated from my program, starts out making above that. And the only ones...

  17. PharmD to NP

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to thefinestwhoever's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Nursing school and Pharmacy school are two different breeds. I am in nursing school now, and my brother is in his last year of pharmacy school. The way the two tests are run are completely...

  18. Which is harder: A&P 1 or A&P 2?

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to giraffe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My second semester of pre-nursing consisted of: A&P II, microbiology, sociology, professional nursing, and world philosophies. A&P II was definitely more difficult, not only the material, but...

  19. Sooooo much debt already

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    The nursing jobs where I live seem to be pretty plentiful! Especially when someone has their BSN. I applied for a few ER tech jobs today, but am not sure if I will work these last two years in...

  20. Sooooo much debt already

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    That definitely makes me feel a little better about my situation then. I go to the University of Cincinnati as an in-state student, and it's still pretty expensive for me. Thank God for our...

  21. Which NP route would be best?

    KG MSN RN CCRN CEN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am going into my junior year of my BSN program, so I still have a while to go before I have to make a decision about graduate school. I had originally thought about eventually becoming a CRNA, but...
