   amch replied to amch's topic in Cardiac

   Thank you all so much. I got the job. I received an email from the director saying he was impressed with my outlook on patient care and that it made up for all the experience in the world ? I am super excited but also extremely nervous. I have a lot ...

2. Cardiac Step down interviewing for Cath Lab

   amch replied to amch's topic in Cardiac

   Thank you so much! This helps a lot. I am comfortable doing all of the above, as the step down I cam from did handle stable vents and some drips. I interviewed and I think it went well.

3. Cardiac Step down interviewing for Cath Lab

   amch posted a topic in Cardiac

   Hello, I am a fairly new nurse. I have a year of Stepdown/PCU experience. I had the opportunity to take one of my patients down to cath lab and stay with them through their procedure basically shadowing the cath lab nurse. Since then, all I want to d...

   Same! That's why I was asking, it says med surg unit, but the spreadsheet says Emergency?

   amch replied to HannahS20's topic in New Nurse

   So this last cohort I interviewed for (but didn't make it) they told us that 95% of all residency spots are for TMC. The satellite hospitals don't have a residency program so the people that get selected for those positions have to travel to the med ...

   Yes. I was in the waitlist but never got called. I emailed the recruiter several times and haven't heard back. Thank you! I wish relocating was an option for me ?

   amch replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   Yeah that's what I'm thinking. That it could be illegal to practice under my license, I'm sure I would be held to the legal scope of a nurse. I just want an open door, I am honestly tired of waiting. I don't necesarily need to work, but I don't want ...

    Yes, out of those three. I am not sure about the rest of the GN programs. Most places do say that you qualify for a raise after your first year. For HCA, the pay is for 2 years. They make you sign a 2 year contract with them, also, if you live more t...

    Does anyone know if we can work as PCA's if we are already licensed as RN's? I am getting so frustrated and losing hope.

    I am a May graduate, I have interviewed for HCA and St Luke's already, these numbers came from the recruiters there. My friend started at MH in July and that's her pay. Like I said above, St Luke's pays a differential of $4/hr if in the med center. S...

    amch replied to HannahS20's topic in New Nurse

    MH is $29, HCA is $28.50, St Luke's is $31.50 (+$4/hr if @ TMC) I am not sure about the others.

    amch replied to HannahS20's topic in New Nurse

    Is anyone here a May graduate applying for a second (or ever third) time? I took the NCLEX right away and have been licensed since June. I have a 3.3 GPA. Got as far as an interview with St Luke's but ZERO offers! I am getting so discouraged! O...
