1. Home health nursing to bedside

   RNMonkey replied to LunaBuna's topic in General Nursing

   Hello @LunaBuna did you end up finding an acute care job after moving to Palo Alto, CA? I'm also considering going into HH and wondering how tough it would be later down the line to transition to acute care. The bay area is a competitive market.

2. From home health nursing to hospital nursing

   RNMonkey replied to Goldentea's topic in Home Health

   Hello @Goldentea, can you give us an update? I noticed your post from 2014 and wondering if you are now an inpatient RN. Are you in CA by chance? By asking this question, I'm wondering if it's easier in other states to transition from HH RN ...

3. Anyone a Hospice or Home Heath RN - please share your experiences

   RNMonkey posted a topic in Career Support

   Hello fellow RNs, I'm a fairly novice nurse with a total of 9 months of inpatient bedside RN experience. I used to be a wide-eyed and bushy tailed new nurse who was eager to become the best bedside RN I could be. Now I've become disillusioned ...

   RNMonkey replied to RNMonkey's topic in New Nurse

   Thank you, I've contacted the union. I was told I won't know more until a meeting is called what the allegations are. Has anyone been on administrative leave? Can you please share more your experience? Is this standard protocol?

6. Outpatient PreOp/PACU to Inpatient Acute Care?

   RNMonkey replied to RNMonkey's topic in General Nursing

   @SmilingBluEyes I think I'm too new to answer that. We new grads tend to have ideas of what nursing will be only to realize the reality is very different. Also that school was useless. We either change course, or stay in our jobs to support famili...

7. Outpatient PreOp/PACU to Inpatient Acute Care?

   RNMonkey posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've heard of many nurses transitioning from inpatient acute care to outpatient surgeries. Are there any nurses who've done the reverse? And in the bay area? I'm a new grad who recently recently received an offer for an Outpatient PreOp/PACU r...

8. Am I being realistic? Nursing school at 45?

   RNMonkey replied to aidensmom403's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello! For everyone who posted on this thread, how has it been turning out? Nursing school is one thing. Working as a nurse is a whole different reality and I think a lot tougher than nursing school. What has everyone ended up doing for work and h...

    Hi @The Lorax, laid back sounds nice. Round 1 was indeed intense. Is Round 2 alone or was it with another panel of candidates as well?

    Has any one else that's interviewed for ICU heard back as well over the weekend? I don't remember when they said they would do call-backs by.

    RNMonkey replied to Duke702's topic in School Programs

    I was told by Financial Aid that we won't know how much we will be disbursed in loans until we've registered for classes. I see I've accepted the admissions offer on the "Student Center" page on mysfsu.com. However, don't see that I'm registered for ...
