  2. Rant. Questions are killing me!

    Mrs.D. replied to broughden's topic in General Students

    I know it's tough, and it's good that you are thinking things out. If you notice in option C, nowhere does it state that you are giving patient information to these people (probably what our teacher...

    I'm so happy you got the pick of the litter in a sea of jobs! Good luck with the one you chose. I wish it could be like that for all of us! And I also feel bad for the areas in the country that have...

    Mrs.D. replied to nurse_bri's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a network you can call upon? Teachers, clinical instructors, family/friends, people you worked with while volunteering? Good luck. I'm 10 miles from Boston and it is very hard to get a job...

  6. RN Liability Insurance

    Mrs.D. posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey there nurses, I am going to be starting my orientation/preceptorship on October 15th, and I would like to have my own liability insurance for the length of my career. It was briefly mentioned in...

  7. Nursing certifications going away??

    Mrs.D. replied to Jvgrek0126's topic in General Nursing

    Just for a little extra info regarding what is out there... It looks like my hospital will 1) reimburse the cost of the initial and recertification exams, and 2) reimburse up to $250 per year for...

  8. RN Liability Insurance

    Mrs.D. replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in General Nursing

    "One reason you hear so few anecdotes is because being accused of malpractice or abuse by a patient is more than a little traumatic." I'm so so sorry you had to live through that. It really could...

  9. RN Liability Insurance

    Mrs.D. replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I read that article and all of the comments. It's great to know that often the insurance is not needed for many various reasons. It puts my mind more at ease. I've always felt that this world it...

  10. RN Liability Insurance

    Mrs.D. replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! This is exactly what they teach us in school. There's so much to cover that it's really just mentioned in a single conversation with not too many details. Heck, I'm happy for even that, so...

  11. RN Liability Insurance

    Mrs.D. replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in General Nursing

    The cost is pretty low. This first year will be $45 from NSO, and then $106 thereafter. If I work for 30 years, it's $3119, or let's just say less than $4000 for fee increases, in order to have this...

  12. Nursing certifications going away??

    Mrs.D. replied to Jvgrek0126's topic in General Nursing

    Also, thanks for posting this info, jvgrek. From the sound of it, this is not an uncommon occurance, but I am just starting out and didn't know that, so the info is

  13. Nursing certifications going away??

    Mrs.D. replied to Jvgrek0126's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital, a BSN gets you an extra $5 per WEEK and an MSN gets you $10. It's insulting, really. BSN is the minimum requirement to work there. It's got decent benefits and good hourly pay, so I...

    Mrs.D. replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in General Nursing

    Me again! Looks like no one is interested in this topic. I did find an informational Thread about this from 2009, but I'd still love something more current. So, if anybody is out there... feel free to...

  20. Fees for NCLEX & Licensure--Fingerprinting?

    Mrs.D. replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in Massachusetts Nursing
