JR816 BSN, RN

Good luck to you in this 4 day battle. In my opinion, getting hired on as a new grad in the ED means you had a certain quality about you that made you stand above the other applicants. Try and relax and let that be your strongpoint. I started worki...

Does anyone know what the pay rate is like at Shands and/or Mayo? I am just looking for a ball park....I have five years experience with a BSN in the ED with ACLS, PALS, TNCC.....any input would be appreciated!

Someone in administration dropped a noise meter off this week. It looks like a stoplight and she put it in the middle of the main desk. Green is good, yellow is pipe it down, and red means were disruptive.......... my thoughts, aerosol haldol in tr...

I had to sign a contract when I was hired on at my facility last year that I would attain my BSN before 2012.

I failed the first time I tested, and I thought I was prepared. All I can say is Kaplan, Kaplan, Kaplan!!!!! The information to be tested on is so broad. It is almost impossible to study for. Kaplan teaches you how to break down the question and ...
