I don't know a whole lot about the politics of the NCLEX, but on the surface this sounds true. It wouldn't hurt to apply in Iowa. You can apply to write the NCLEX in any state you want. Doesn't have to be the state where you went to nursing school. ...

C'mon....this is not worse than the flu!

Now I get why they call you Big Tiny

We've got a runner.

Licensure by endorsement is done when you've already passed the NCLEX (RN or LPN, whichever applies to you) and have been licensed in whichever state you are leaving to practice elsewhere (say, State 1). Basically to get a license by endorsement, you...

I have one more class and I'll be done with my MPH. It's not a limiting degree as someone stated. Any degree is limiting if you don't know what to do with it. I have a BSN, and I got my job in public health without having completed the MPH. But the ...

I applied for a job with a nursing home in Albany. I have 10 years of experience, and they offered me 24/hr with a 40+ patient responsibility. Needless to say, I ran away from that. Total bs!

Empire Blue Cross is hiring. They recently had an Open House. They start at 60k.

If you think your nursing program was a joke, that's probably why you can't get a job. Honestly, if I were a patient or employer, the last person I would want taking care of me or that I would want to hire is someone who a) thinks they know it all an...

Well, I'm in grad school for an MPH. Actually looking for a floor job or a job on an LTAC to pay my rent while I study.

I am about to begin study for an MPH. I have a BSN.

I've never had this problem. Coughing would probably help.

I work for a Fortune 500 company. It contracts with state governments for healthcare programs (HUSKY in Connecticuit, LaCHIP in Louisiana, etc.). If you're interested in jobs in healthcare, pm me (I don't know if we're allowed to post that sort of in...

I don't work in a hospital anymore, haven't for the last 3 years. I make around 54k annually, 2 weeks paid vacation. If I went back to the hospital, I could probably make 60k or 70k easily. A friend of mine makes 34-50 dollars/hour depending upon whe...

this is true. you'd think that people would know this by now?!

Excellent advice.

Thanks, Caroline. I really appreciate the encouraging words.

Thank you, Caroline, for this post. I've been trying to become a permanent resident of Canada for 2 years now. I've been engaged to a Canadian almost as long now, and sometimes I feel very discouraged about the situation. He was living temporarily in...

Actually, I think she's gorgeous, overweight or not.

I would have simply said that "RNs are human, too." And yes, I would have been offended. What a silly generalization.

I worked in physical rehab which is an area of med-surg. I loved working in physical rehab. It was in a free standing rehab center and was great. My first general med-surg job was in your standard big city hospital. The ratios were ridiculous, and w...

ita with bolded part....i've gotten this impression as well.

I had a "conversation" with several of the people I work with in a nonclinical setting this week, and it was said by a couple of them that the work we do and the stresses we are under in a nonclinical setting are more intense than those in clinical s...
