Amc510 you stated what I was trying to explain. Correct.

Just tried to login to my application. It states there is no application on my account. Anyone else see that?

Meowmeow, There is no BSN to DNP or MSN to DNP for NP Program but there is for those wanting just a DNP not in the NP specialty.

Mine has no date change but student ID.

LauraIR is correct, I was told in my interview 6 weeks which is the last week of April to 1st week May.

Yessssss JBMmom!! I just had that moment on Monday this week! I was feeling down and overwhelmed with taking care of patients on my travel assignment and was wondering if leaving my staff job was the best idea and a correctional officer stopped me and said, "you are doing a great job, I don't know if anyone has told you that." That made all the difference!

Sob for 1 year with a HD of COPD, nothing new just coming in 1 year later because he decided it was time to. Found nothing new.

Thank you for your post nursing doll. I am going through this right now at my workplace. Just being picked on for any and everything. I do not speak to anyone about my life or anything outside of work related matters. I ignore bullies, followers, and the lapdog. No reaction leads to no more but I'm tough and will make it through.

You will be fine leaving your current job. You have a firm offer already. I left cardiac step down with 7 months experience and went to the ED. I currently live hours away from home too and want to move my family closer to home so I can have family social outings outside of the stressful ED. P.s. I don't like hanging with coworkers..

don't feel bad direw0lf, like stated before, it was a brewing stew waiting to happen. Covid has made everyone tired and stress in nursing is at an all time high. The last thing anyone needs is a lousy bunch of coworkers who talk behind others backs because their lives are miserable. Like the one commenter said, do not share anything about your life with your coworkers because jealousy happens. It's the best advice EVER.

I definitely feel the way you do. I want to use my creativity in nursing and my love for venipuncture but I'm stuck in a role I do not enjoy.

6 figure salary No weekends or on call with base rate pay 5 weeks paid vacation Ability to work remote

I am looking for a change in specialty but am blessed to have a chaotic stressful job still in the ED.

A mix of joyful joy and aspiring alice. I have no interest in shining anyone shoes but happy to climb the ladder to NP...no managment. Definitely happy to take care of my patients and definitely not on any antidepressants. ^.^

With your statement emergent, are you ignoring the fact that some nurses stand all day on their 12 hour shifts? Some nurses have managers breathing down their necks as well. We also deal with many members of our community depending on what specialty you are in. Our jobs are just as stressful. The whole point of grocery store jobs is to pay minimum wage. I also started out working as a deli clerk but that should serve as a means to want something better...aka the america dream. Salaries and pay are based on your education and experience. They don't need a college degree to do grocery work so the job is minimum wage. Nurses get paid according to their education and experience so the starting pay is "our minimum wage" . To me, as I said earlier, everyone dealing with covid needs hazard pay because we are all stressed and over it.

As far as I am concerned we are all exposed to covid in the same manner. Pay is based on education so that doesnt make one profession more important that the other. Everyone dealing with covid deserves hazard pay period.

I also agree with you Brandy. I work in the ED where I do not get covid pay but ICU nurses in my facility get covid pay and I am dealing with covid unknowns. I also agree that the top executives are taking millions of bonuses with us doing the hardwork. I also think its disgusting to see facilities pay ridiculous money for travel nurses and tell their staff nurses they will not be getting a raise. The whole system is disgusting and disturbed.

I appreciate all the feedback. The point of my post was to vent my frustration with having to hear about hazard pay for a specific group when a whole lot of jobs are also facing the same covid situation with no hazard pay.

That's great! Do you work in LTC or a hospital?

Is anyone else irritated by the fact that there are countless professions who are required to work during covid but the new is always revolving around grocery store employee needing hazard pay? What about nurses, doctors, hvac, etc..what are your thoughts?

Hello everyone, Can anyone give me information on the VA in DC or Baltimore? I would like to hear from those in the ID (infectious disease) clinic. What do you love about your job? How is management? What does the job entail? Which ID clinic would you recommend? Thanks in advance!!

Hello, I have to say you are overthinking this. I currently give the vaccine to nursing home through cvs. There are 2 forms thr patients have to fill as consent to get the vaccine. They basically fill in their demographics, and the form asks if they have any comorbidities. You document the date, time, temperature of the pt., location of injection, sign, print, title. The pharmacy drawing up the vaccine is good because that's the part that needs good timing. The vaccines have to stay frozen at a spec. Temp. Once they are out to thaw, for 30 mins, they must be diluted with normal saline and 6 shots drawn. Once the shots are drawn in a syringe, they are good for 1 hr. If you leave the diluted vaccine in the vial, it's good for 6 hours. It is easier to have pharmacy handle that whiles you focus on injections. It's simple. Ask any questions, I'll answer if I know.

Yes they are

Hey, I started as a new grad 6 months pregnant part time at a big time teaching hospital in my time. Gave birth halfway into my orientation. It is possible to get a part time new grad position. As the other poster said, it's hard to get PRN unless you have 1 year experience. Good luck!!

Wow, that's great!
