I know some of you have 'been there and done that' while at Queen's hospital. However, there are a bunch of us new graduates from nursing school who have been working as nurses aides for the last two years, still playing the waiting game. I have deci...

Hey fellow Washingtonians. I am looking at relocating to the Seattle area (I'm from out of state), because it's really really really really, really (did I say really?) hard to find a hospital nursing job position here in my area if you lack at least ...

Dang, this is so frustrating. I mailed in my endorsement application in May of this year. My payment bank check was processed on the first week of June. When I log into my Breeze account, it still states "No license information available" under the L...

^^ You're kidding me, right? Regular RN's in Hawaii make gross income over $100K? Hard to believe that. Plus the cost of living in Hawaii is crazy, and for new graduate nurses, don't even think about working in Hawaii. "Most" hospitals here only hir...

I am wondering if you can further elaborate on the extra 10-12 hours a week for other job-related activities? Are these staff meetings? Or leadership-related classes? I am used to working as a hospital CNA, right now, three 12-hour shifts a week, rot...
