  1. Board of Nursing Actions

    Do compact states report to noncompact states? I hear about nurses not disclosing their displinary actions on their applications.
  2. SRNA to FNP

    I was debating that (CRNA or ACNP) when I decided I wanted to return to school. I weighed my options for both careers, and I chose to pursue ACNP. Most of the future CRNA's I spoke said it was primarily for the money, which is fine if that is your ...
  3. The worst code you've seen?

    I knew there were times when I made suggestions, and the idiot MD's and other RN's running the code didn't want to listen. Unfortunately, the outcomes were eventually poor. There are just too many "chefs in the kitchen" during codes.
  4. ICU/CCU TRAVEL NURSE

    I would recommend that you have more than a year's experience, possibly two. The hospital doesn't want to hold your hands when you get there. I've worked w/ new nurses that traveled, and they weren't ready. There is just so much that you can prete...
  5. ACNP hours and settings vs FNP...

    I'm applying to an ACNP school in the Fall. I'm glad this question came up. It gave me an idea of what to expect.
  6. NP Salary (independent practice vs. nonindependent)

    New biz worth millions? I'm skeptical esp. with someone who only has two posts. I wouldn't hold my breath with this person replying on his or her background, but I could be wrong.
  7. FNP or ACNP program

    Thanks for your reply. I've been in critical care and will probably stay in that area. I will probably attend school for either ACNP or ANP, I'm still deciding on which setting will suit me, i.e. hospital or office. I don't want to do nights, weeken...
  8. FNP or ACNP program

    I could do either FNP or ACNP, but which area would have a greater demand in the job market? Could a FNP fill the role of an ACNP and vice versa? What are the pro's and con's of each? Thanks.
  9. Georgia Travel Nurse Jobs?

    I'm interested in doing an assignment or two in GA also. I met this traveler from GA, but I suppose that's why she's traveling.
  10. Leave a staff position to travel in this economy??

    It is true w/ jobs being very limited. I finally got a travel job, but it was w/ a hospital that I had worked w/ in the past. You might be better off, staying put until the market picks up again.
  11. Question for all of you travel nurses

    Legally there could be legal ramifications against you, but it depends on the hospital. The hospital could choose not to pursue it, and you could back out of the contract without any consequences. If you have a good enough reason, the hospital and ...
  12. Cancel Your Contract?

    I haven't personally worked at Kaiser, but I've personally met many travelers that worked at Kaiser facilities. They told me the same things about floating multiple times during one shift.
  13. Should I travel?

    I would recommend more than a year's experience; some agencies require less. You have to ask yourself, "Why do I want to travel?" What is your specialty? Read some of the older posts and FAQ's, then come back here. We can work from there.
  14. Biloxi Regional...

    I've also heard negative things about Biloxi and Garden Park; I personally would recommend Memorial. The other hospitals I'm not too familiar with.
  15. Singing River Hospital

    What kind of patients are in OSH's ICU? Actue or long term? CCU, MICU, or SICU? Thanks.
