    Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Wow, that's great! I am in CO, too. Interviewed in NoCo for a corrections position. Changed my mind. I made $65K in LTC. Took about a 10K pay cut to do private duty. MUCH less stress!! I really enjoy...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to dncndva215's topic in Medical-Surgical

    All good questions. Another I would add is "How would you handle conflict with your boss?" Congrats and let us know how things go! I want to do L&D when I graduate. That is all I have ever wanted...

    I am done in May, also, with my BSN. I am super excited. Remember sitting in class the first day saying "Oh my gosh this is going to be a long 2.5 years.....(or 2, or

    Toileting during Dialysis

    Yes, I have. I was replying to another post. I got it now. I don't work in dialysis, and I probably never will. LTC was enough for me. I get it. I don't, and I don't think others, appreciate being...

    Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    $30K is way too low, even for a new grad! My salary is low, for an LPN, about 55K a year doing PDN whereas in LTC my salary was 65K. I am interested to see what my salary will be as a new grad RN....

    Hmm, well, by calling us ignorant people for not doing research, I just find it ignorant that you can't take a person to the BATHROOM! Maybe you can help me understand why a nurse would not be able to...

    Is all nursing experience equal?

    And this scenario is likely just in California. Most, if not all employers, other than the ones in CA want RN's, not

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Lynx25's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    YES YES YES!! Finally SOMEONE gets it! But one call to a state health department on a complaint about someone at dialysis sitting in their own waste for 4 hours may change the course of those

    Toileting during Dialysis

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Lynx25's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    That is neglect, bordering on abuse. Good excuses for a dialysis clinic. Too bad that doesn't fly in LTC. I am surprised patients can't be assisted to the bathroom and helped. What do you tell them if...

    The same can be said for LPN's. I can't tell you how many times I, being an LPN, have said something along those lines about myself, to an RN. And they tell me, "You are a lot more than JUST and LPN."...

    To be a DON you HAVE to have an RN, no exceptions. To be an educator you have to have a MSN, not a BSN. Some BSN's can teach clinicals, but you have to have experience in a field to do

    If you are at a JC, you won't have problems with credits transfering. What school did you go to where your credits won't transfer? You can also CLEP out of a lot of your GE. Might be worth looking...
