  2. Compact State or not?

    Gottago posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I've heard that if possible, you should get your initial RN license in a compact state and not a non-compact state. Is this the better route? The explanantion I received is that if you would later...

  4. OR Travel Nursing

    Gottago posted a topic in Travel

    I was wondering how much demand there is for OR travel nurses? I saw another thread that stated ICU & ER are two areas with the most demand. I'm not making any immediate plans for travel nursing;...

  5. OR Travel Nursing

    Gottago replied to Gottago's topic in Travel

    Well, I didn't really get an answer to my question. Based on the lack of replies I believe this indicates OR travel nursing does not have much demand. Perhaps the time and orientation involved with...

  8. U.S. Public Health Service Nursing

    Does anyone have any personal experience working as a nurse with the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service? I was looking over their website and would like to get some personal...

  9. Slu??

    Gottago replied to Sunshine0425's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Don't worry if you are not accepted into SELU. OLOL is a good program. Often you will hear how SELU has a high NCLEX pass rate, but don't let this influence you. Tour both schools OLOL and SELU...

  10. Help! OLOL or Southeastern nursing school??

    Gottago replied to sher412's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Look at all the postings from SLU students. Not very many on this site. That should tell you something. I've experienced both OLOL & SLU. SLU a bunch of state workers (for the most part) just...

  11. Assessment writing

    Gottago posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are there any links to provide help with writing (not using a form) an initial assessment? I've seen many checklist forms for completing an assessment, but what about links for students who are...

  13. student question on murmurs

    Gottago posted a topic in Cardiac

    If a murmur were charted as II/IV what would that mean? My understanding is that this is a grade 2 to grade 4 murmur; meaning, that the sound ranges from clearly audible, but faint to loud,...

  14. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    Gottago replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    Well...at least you won't have to grade papers. For everybody that puts the negative spin on nursing, I have one question: what wonderful job would you suggest? Not saying that nursing is a wonderful...

  15. SLU in Hammond

    Gottago replied to Gottago's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Well, congratulations on your future graduation. I was told, by a school rep., that nursing classes were in BR. I had specifically & repeatedly asked this, and was assured BR. Odd that the...

    Gottago replied to erinhen's topic in Government, Military

    Glad to hear both sides. I'm curious about ed. opportunities. I'm wondering if the lack of ed opportunities applies to both officers & enlisted, or just enlisted? For instance, if you come in...

  20. How much did you make as a new grad?

    Gottago replied to SerenityR.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    It sickens me to see celebrities or politicians live in multimillion dollar homes, see tiny trinkets they own that could feed an entire state's population nutritiously, wear diamonds and watches that...

  21. SLU in Hammond

    Gottago replied to Gottago's topic in Louisiana Nursing

  23. SLU in Hammond

    Now we're getting somewhere. What was difficult about patho/pharm classes? Was it alot of memorization? Did you find the instructors to be demonic as one poster said? Thanks for the

  24. SLU in Hammond

    Gottago replied to Gottago's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    So, you'd say the program is do-able. The first 2 semesters: I take it that these don't consist of clinicals...or do they? Which courses would you say, particulary during those first 2 semesters,...
