    Questions for Current NPs

    SE_BSN_RN replied to JesseMJ's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Jesse, right now I am doing Univ. of Phoenix's LVN-BSN, and I may stay at UoP and go straight into the master's program. But, I have my sights set on Baylor's new grad program in OB/GYN and the...

    Questions for Current NPs

    SE_BSN_RN replied to JesseMJ's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am also curious to know as I have the same questions. My clinical instructor said that she is going to stay as a BSN because the job opportunities decrease tremendously if you have a master's...

    That is great! I am not to thrilled with the care Banner gives our elderly, but when I had my boys there they were awesome. I would stay here after my BSN if I was guaranteed a job in

    Ahh, ok, I thought you had that experience. But, no matter, you found a job, and, yes I do know jobs out there are hard to find. My ADON interviewed for a position at PVH and the hiring manager told...

    Interesting.....we keep getting new RN's that can't get jobs at the hospital. We have only had 2 or so get jobs at Banner after a year, no one ever earlier than that. I'm not planning to stay here...

    It does. We went from living off of 80K a year in CA to a little over $50K here in CO. So, it's not bad at all. Good luck!! Let us know how things

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Liz520's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Depends on where you are looking to go. The hospitals won't hire a new grad until you have at least a year of experience. I work in Greeley, like I said in an earlier post, and my company will hire...

    I think all of us have a class we struggle in when we are in school. For me, that was micro and A&P. And I am a nurse, and proud of it! I am also choosing to go beyond, and get my BSN, and my MSN,...

    Missing Narc.....but for how long?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to SE_BSN_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hmmm, well I'm not sure how long benzo's stay in the system but I can guarantee I'll come up clean. No one's had to take a drug test

    New DON is going to ruin the facility

    SE_BSN_RN posted a topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    We have a new DON sent by corporate to "fix" our facility. She is very "by the book" which I am not opposed to, however she is not tactful and talks down to staff. She told one of our CNA's who is...

    Why do people rent text books?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Saysfaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At UoP it isn't worth my money to buy a book for a five week class that is around $150-$200. And most of the books are an ebook I can download. I was lucky to find almost brand new pharmacology books...

    New DON is going to ruin the facility

    SE_BSN_RN replied to SE_BSN_RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    It's starting! We had a night nurse quit without warning. (The same night nurse that the DON called a liar about being on the schedule.) The ADON's are working the floor because the staff that is...

    New DON is going to ruin the facility

    SE_BSN_RN replied to SE_BSN_RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Seems like they would want to keep the good employees, not chase them off. LTC is obviously not about the patients. They (the residents) also complain and complain and complain and nothing is "fixed."...
